I have combined the last quarter's newsletters on Adobe DC into one PDF. When I upload it to AtoM as a digital image it will not auto generate a Thumbnail representation or a Reference representation. The image displayed on AtoM in the item is the Adobe logo. It gives me an error 500.
Please can the community advise.

Hi Christine

Did you combine them as a full fledge .pdf (you can select text on hte pages) or is it images inside the pdf?

It is text with images. The combined document is less than 64MB.

I have this exact same issue. AtoM is not generating any thumbnails for my PDFs.

Hi all, 

It is possible that you might be running into the following issue, caused by a change in ImageMagick. Please see this thread for more information and a solution: 
Once you have this fix in place, you can try the derivatives regeneration task again to see if it resolves the issue. See: 
If that still doesn't resolve the issue, let's make sure you have the proper dependencies installed, including ImageMagick and pdfinfo (which is part of the poppler-utils package): 
General AtoM troubleshooting recommendations for common issues are rounded up in this thread: 
Good luck!
