PDF view file macro randomly does not render pages

Question

When using the PDF file preview macro, it randomly does not render pages. It seems to be worse with pages with graphics, but I am not sure. Some pages within a single document can render fine, while others don't. Sometimes specific pages don't show while other times they do. I've tried this in Opera (webkit version) and IE with the same results.

We moved to 5.8 and are replacing the PDF macros with the new file viewer macro.  It works much better - no more problems with random pages.

Same problem here in 5.7. Any fix to this?

Hi,

We have the same problem (parts not rendering and whole pdf's not rendering) and I have clicked through all the associated "CONF-" tickets on jira.atlassian.comto find an answer

Aaaaaand I'm lost now... they look all the same and I don't know what the status is:

* does it work with e.g. the latest version?
* Is there a workaround?* If so, what and how?

* Or are there free plugins / addons for this issue?
