PDF viewing in trello update: impractical

[Jenn Jorgl]

This is so extremely disruptive to our workflow and creating MORE work having to clean up unnecessary and unwanted downloads. Sure hope Trello prioritizes this fix above all others. Bring back a PDF-preview feature ASAP!!!

[Bình WP]

Me too. Wish PDF is back.

I hope they change that soon...

Many days have passed and nothing have been done to solve this problem. 

I dont know if Trello team are worried about it. 

[Amish Solanki]

Same issue as well.

[David Grimaldi]

Same problem here. The pdf viewer is impossible to read, and causes us to waste many minutes each day. We love Trello, but will need to consider an alternative if this problem can't be solved.

Hello Glenn.

Im using Microsoft Edge 96.0.1054.62 and Chrome 97 on other computer. Both are having issues but in Chrome came first.

[Glenn]

At least with Chrome 97 I'm not seeing any issue. What browser are you on and what is it doing or not doing?

[Jeferson Kist]

Hello Everyone. 

Today 06.01.22 Trello has started to have some issues with pdf previews again. 

Why?????????????????????????????????????????????

[Petar Pavlov]

As a silver lining to this issue, I managed to find a Google Chrome Extension that displays PDFs in-browser much faster than what Trello was doing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/related?hl=en 
Works like charm! 

[Nina Medlock]

they fixed it! :) 

[Gustavo Alcocer]

Actively looking at other platforms because this is irritaiting and broke the work flow.

[Ricardo Pereda]

Worst decision that you could have made. It's incredibly annoying to have to download pdfs individually, specially when you have several attached to the card and you just need to browse them really fast. I am baffled at how you thought this is an improvement. Our company is already looking into other app alternatives.

[Daniel Egan]

WOOOT!!!

[Daniel Egan]

YESSSSSS!!!

[Adrian]

Fixing this gives my life purpose again!

Or at least stops me from getting annoyed each time I switch to my Trello tab 😉

[Tara Seifert]

ABSOLUTELY - GOD BLESS THE ENTIRE WORLD - :)

[Jeferson Kist]

Happy Friday Tara! God Bless Brazil and the rest of the world too :D

[Tara Seifert]

HAPPY FRIDAY!! I see some comments on the 4th so must have been fixed after I left the office yesterday eve.  But Good Morning America ~ Trello is fixed!!!  God Bless The USA & God Bless Trello!!  Everyone have a great rest of your Winter.  Stay Safe - Stay Healthy - Happy Thanksgiving - Merry Christmas - Happy New Year!!

[Eric Johnsa]

Also I forgot to mention that whatever data breach is occurring I have noticed in the last several weeks since the PDF viewer quit working that me along with everyone else who uses Trello has been getting bombarded with telemarketing calls nonstop and spam emails of all various kinds. If I had to take a wild guess I would suspect some disgruntled coder put in a back door or some sort of software time bomb that went off and exposed the software to nefarious data miners who are selling the information. Because for my business as a default I always include all contact information and cell phone numbers of all my clients and people who have cell phones that I know specifically that are not listed are getting telemarketing calls literally seconds after I click enter on Trello.

Our company spends $$$$ for Trello. We are actively looking at other platforms. This renders the platform useless to us.

[Daniel Hutchinson]

Please fix this issue - it is serious slowing down my team productivity. We do not want PDFs to download automatically. We need the preview window!

[Jens Vogel]

Hi Wes,

at https://trello.com/contact#/ you can contact support directly. That may be reserved for paid users only.

Best Jens

[Wes Harrison]

Hi Jens,

When you say you "reached out for support," what did you mean? I made this discussion thinking I was reaching out for support. Is there a better way of doing it, or one to which Trello will respond? 

[zxz]

Same problem here. I understand they did this for security, but still, it's not that productive for users. 

It's been many days Trello team still not doing any changes to it.

I may need other tools...
