The PDF Issue that recently developed on Glow Blogs has now been fixed. PDFs can now be uploaded as expected without any workarounds.
Thanks to all the people who reported it.
If you changed your Resize larger images to setting to zero as a workaround please reset it to the value it had before. 1260 pixels is the default.
Note the behaviour of pasting pdf links into the classic editor has changed. See the PDF page for details of how this works now.
This issue has been fixed with a release on Monday 13 October. PDFs now upload as expected.
An issue with pdf uploaded to Glow Blogs has recently developed. Our developers are looking at the issue to create a fix.
The issue is that pdfs uploaded to Glow Blogs are ‘truncated’ to one page.
We hope this is fixed soon. There are a few workarounds you can use in the meantime.
We have just added the DearFlip dFlip plugin to Glow blogs. This plugin let you display a pdf or a set of images as a flip book.
More information on the dFlip plugin page.
We have had reports with a problem uploading PDF files to Glow Blogs.
This issue is now fixed, here is an example 3 page PDF uploaded to blogs: Test PDF file
PDFs that are uploaded to blogs are linked to the image thumbnails of the pdf. This looks like the first page of the pdf.
The developers are investigating a fix which we will be implemented as soon as possible.
We have a workaround at rather kludgy workaround.
You can upload pdfs somewhere else on the internet and link to them in your blog.
The O365 OneDrive provide by Glow is a good place to do this. After uploading a PDF to one drive you can ‘share’ it. Make it public and copy the link. In the blog post you want to add the pdf to you can, instead of uploading the file, link directly to it like this: Download Test PDF
