OS: ubuntu 20.04

At the time, the latest Obsidian version is 1.8.9.

Problem

Using the latest Obsidian downloaded from snap, I find that I can't view some PDFs in obsidian vault. But those PDFs can be viewed normally in any other PDF viewers.

Solution

Step 1:

Remove the snap version of Obsidian.

snap remove obsidian

Step 2

Download the deb version of obsidian. (Downlaod page of Obsidian)
