Ubuntu has decided to disable PDF processing Show archive.org snapshot because ImageMagick and the underlying Ghostscript had several security issues.

When your Ghostscript is up to date (and receiving updates regularly), you can safely reactivate PDF processing on your computer like this:

1. Open /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml
   • For older versions of Ubuntu (or possibly ImageMagick), the path is /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml
2. Remove/Comment lines after <!-- disable ghostscript format types -->

If you need it enabled for an app server, ask your operations team to do that for you.
