This category may be empty. This is a list of PDF files that are in need of processing to make the thumbnails show. Due to the use of a particular version of GhostScript, the wiki software times out after one minute (on a page). This will not be fixed until there is a later (unspecified) update. The only way to make the software make the thumbnails is to re-process the PDF. Either

A. Run Adobe Acrobat optimise process - seems like the downsampling of colour PDFs to 150ppi does the trick. Usually ends up with a similar file size. the quickest option, can be set up as a macro run run a batch of PDFs. Does not always work.
B. Export out all the pages as single TIFF files, and then re-make the PDF. May cause the file size massively increase to up to 10 times the original. (Then use the first method to get the size back down)
