PDFs not opening fully

Hello. 

I’m not sure why this is happening, but on occasion PDFs do not load fully in Wrike (some aspects of the PDF do not appear). When this happens you have to open the PDF in a new tab. This makes it difficult to make comments directly on the PDF since I cannot see the entire PDF unless I open it in a new tab. 

This is only happening selectively. Some PDFs I can open and see the whole document while others only open with some of the document showing up. I'm currently using google Chrome.

Hi Lindsey, thank you for reaching out! It sounds like this may be either network or browser related. I know these aren't fun questions to answer but they'll really help us figure out what's going on. Can you try checking these three things:
  1. Does this behavior persist in other browsers and in the incognito mode of Chrome? To open incognito, you can use the Ctrl+Shift+N keyboard combination.
  2. Do the files load in the same way when using different network connections (e.g. office, home, mobile)?
  3. Please make sure that your Chrome browser is updated. You can check this by pasting chrome://help/ into the address bar.
Let me know how this goes! We can take next steps to figure out what's going on after this.

1) In other browsers, the PDFs won't open at all. The PDF still did not open fully in the incognito mode. 

2) The files do load the same way using a different network.

3) My chrome browser is up to date.

Lindsey, thank you for checking that! We'll need to take a look at a few more things to get to the bottom of this. I've opened up a support ticket on your behalf to continue troubleshooting this via email, will be looking forward to hearing from you there. Thank you for your patience on this!

I also have experienced this problem. Today is the first time it has happened, but like Lindsey, it works when opened in a new tab. I am using Chrome.

This has been an ongoing problem for me.  I have had to email PDFs because nobody can open them.  It's frustrating to have to open a new tab or a go to incognito.  And collaborators from outside of the company are frustrated as well.  This is a bug that should be worked out.

Just an FYI, this happens to me too. It also happens when I open it in a new tab. I am using Firefox.

Was this PDF situation fixed? We are having a similar issue- My team member is unable to review PDFs remotely off of our work network on Wrike. Other team members do not have this issue reviewing PDFs remotely off-network. Is there a support phone number we can call for assistance?
