Hi Peter, This was to be expected, I'm afraid :-) You might try to add *-[type[application/pdf]]* to the saveTiddlerFilter() macro of $:/core/save/lazy-images<http://tiddlywiki.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fsave%2Flazy-images>, but I don't think there is a reasonable workaround today, other than opening the resource file outside Tiddlywiki, for instance from a file:// href.
