Chuck, and Nic, I *can* see PDFs in my TW5, though I haven't tried to get any kind of thumbnail function.
I host my PDFs on dropbox, and use dropbox to "copy a public link" for the PDF. Then I create a tiddler, titled however I like. At the bottom of editor interface, add a new field called _canonical_uri (Note that's an i, not an l). Paste your file's url link in the space to the right and click the button to "add" the field. Then go select from the "Type" menu (right below edit box): "application/pdf" When you return to view mode, the result is a little PDF viewer box, much like you see on other websites that host PDFs. Cheers. -Springer On Monday, January 13, 2020 at 11:20:42 AM UTC-5, Chuck R. wrote: > > > 1. Download TW5 to your local hard drive here: > https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted > 2.
