PDF preview in Gmail broken

Is anyone else seeing issues with clicking on a PDF in gmail and only the first page (or nothing) will load? It's been going on here for a few days. If you download the PDF, it's fine.

Seems fine here (Chicago area)

Yep it's not just me either. It seems to be happening to a number in our domain. Any chance the changes to DMARC would do this?

Nah, I've had DMARC for years, and no adverse effect on PDFs.

I am seeing this also.  What filter do you use?  We have Securly?  When I am on our normal Wi-Fi (Windows Securly DNS filtering) it is not working.  When I switch to the guest it starts working again.  I am not sure where the issue is yet just starting to try and figure it out.

 

 

@kuhnd You might want to open a ticket. I did and they confirmed there was an issue. They fixed it (on their end) and we seem to be fine now.

Just tested at home and it opened all 4 pages in the preview.

I don't have Securly DNS (you should talk to them), but I do have a pihole that blocks things quite aggressively, and uBlock Origin that blocks things in Gmail.

Reloaded the entire Gmail window and opened the email again.

This time the PDF loaded all 4 pages without issue.
