Description

This is a issue related to #34397.
Due to recent changes in ImageMagick, PDF cannot be converted to PNG without rewriting the policy.xml file.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52861946/imagemagick-not-authorized-to-convert-pdf-to-an-image

I think you should check if ImageMagick has permission to convert PDF to PNG and then check "ImageMagick PDF support available (optional)" in Infomation.

I experience this issue in Redmine version 4.2.0 in the docker version. All PDF thumbnail images are broken, but not image preview thumbnails.

Environment:
  Redmine version                4.2.0.stable
  Ruby version                   2.7.3-p183 (2021-04-05) [x86_64-linux]
  Rails version                  5.2.5
  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               Mysql2

The problem that PDF thumbnail images are broken should be improved by rewriting policy.xml.
I think https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52861946/imagemagick-not-authorized-to-convert-pdf-to-an-image answer will be helpful.

This does indeed resolve the issue, but I believe the intention of this defect report was to point out the discrepancy between admin/info and what is actually available. It would be really nice if Redmine could alert administrators that PDF support is generally available, but PDF previews are not available.
