### Issue Summary
When uploading PDF files in WordPress (doesn’t matter where) the PDF thumbnails are not being generated.
After debug I found that the Imagemagick version isn’t fully functional to support PDF files.
It’s related to this issue: [PDFDelegateFailed with some PDF's · Issue #404 · ImageMagick/ImageMagick · GitHub](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/404)
#### Troubleshooting Questions
- Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?
Yes
- Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?
Yes
#### Replication
Just upload a PDF, no thumbnail will be shown/created.
#### System Details
- Which version of Local is being used?
- What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used?
- Attach the Local Log. See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:
