PDF thumbnail not appearing

PDF file in Text & Media element won't show.

I added two PDF and one image. As you can see from generated markup, the PDF come out empty, while the image shows:

enter image description here

Have tried all tests in Install tool. Every test succeeded except Render text with TrueType font using 'niceText' option (screenshot)

If you have installed ghostscript via brew, ghostscript is installed in /usr/local/bin. You need a symlink to ghostscript in /usr/bin/

  1. Restart mac
  2. CMD + R on restart.
  3. Start terminal
  4. run csrutil disable
  5. Normal Restart
  6. sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gs /usr/bin/gs
  7. Restart again with CMD + R and open terminal
  8. run csrutil enable to enable System Integration Security again.

Thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/users/9913753/chriskr for the csrutil hint

The most likely cause for non-working PDF thumbnails is that Ghostscript is not installed. You can check that in the TYPO3 install tool.

Another possibility would be a misconfiguration of ImageMagick in TYPO3, especially the version (im_version_5 setting and friends).

As the problem only occurs in the frontend, you should also check if the path is correct and/or if you have any permission problems writing to typo3temp/. If that is all correct, try flushing the processed files cache (in the install tool) and check if the thumbnails in the backend appear correctly again.
