I just thought I’d flag this up because it doesn’t seem to be covered in [the image documentation](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/guides/quick-starts/intermediate-techniques/working-with-images). I have a couple of PDFs in a page on my app. They are listed in my spreadsheet as links. When I added an image component to the layout (it was just buttons before), I was surprised to see the PDF link being picked up automatically and rendered as an image. This is a really nice touch but I wouldn’t have been aware of it if not stumbling upon it by accident. Perhaps the documentation needs to be updated?

Does this mean image assets can be vectors in the form of PDF? that would be great. ---

I’ve been doing that for quite awhile. I think when it was originally discovered, glide want even aware that it was possible, so that’s probably why it was never documented. More of a happy accident. ---

Think it would be good if documentation was updated. It’s a very handy feature.
