    The instructions say you can optimize a PDF but when I try this, it says This media lacks the required metadata and cannot be optimized.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi @lestexas60!

    This is Joseph from Imagify, and I’ll gladly assist you here!

    I’m really sorry you’re having issues with this!

    It’s possible that something may not have registered properly in your database when you uploaded the PDF file to your Media Library. Would you be able to try downloading the PDF and then re-uploading it to your Media Library to see if that allows optimization to work for it?

    Best regards,
    Joseph

    I have tried this with a couple PDF’s . One was 4 megs and 1 was 1.2 megs. I’m on the most recent WP and Elementor and Pro.

    Would you have an example of a PDF that should work that I can use as a test?

    Hey,

    You can search for “Sample PDF files” on Google, for example there are few on this page.

    If these are not private files, you can send it to us so we could check on our end, although in most of the cases it works, just to be 100% sure.

    Best Regards

    Same error with the sample PDF. This media lacks the required metadata and cannot be optimized.
    I suppose may be some kind of conflict.

    Hi @lestexas60,

    Sorry to hear that the sample PDFs are having the same results!

    You may be right, there could be some kind of conflict or setting causing the issue, it is hard to say for sure.

    If you’d like, you can open a support ticket with us at https://imagify.io/contact including a link to this public forum post and we might be able to investigate this in more depth for you.

    Best regards,
    Joseph
