When I try to import a PDF the browser displays this error message:

Hello Carlos,
Please let me know the versions of ImageMagick and Ghostscript libraries which you\’re using. You can find version numbers on the settings page /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=pdf-light-viewer
In some cases this issue could appear when users try to convert new PDF with old versions of ImageMagick and Ghostscript libraries. For test you can for example try to import one of the Google’s PDFs https://abc.xyz/investor/pdf/2015Q1_google_earnings_slides.pdf – it usually could be imported without errors. If so, I believe the issue in compatibility with the new PDF format changes.
