Importing PDF
I tried to import a PDF into musescore using the converter on the website and it says it was successfully downloaded but when I open it in the the app all I see is a blank white page. Am I doing something wrong?

Not necessarily. Did you look at the second page to see if there is anything there? Sometimes the import yields unusable results, it often results in complete failure, but I haven't heard of it produced an empty page before. Feel free to attach the file so we can take a look.
Hi Marc- I have the same result as gmitch.
I uploaded this file to the converter: daintree-gtr (dragged) 2.pdf
... and got this one back after a 'successful' import: 06cf04c8c3debf524becfd77bcf81e3a39b61c88.mscz
An observation is that the files which are converted to 'blank' pages have the file name converted to a hex code (would this be a tag used by the converter for queuing and processing files?)- this has happened on about 5 pdf imports. Normally the original file name is returned. And there were no other pages returned- only the one.
Any help is appreciated,
Regards
Bob

Curious! I can confirm the score is empty, but I have no real insight into what Audiveris or the web service that runs it might have done to have produced this result.

I have the same problem. Also, notice the file is only 1.3 KB. All my other imports have started with about 30KB
Having the same issue and I even tried Musescore 3 beta that supposedly "fixed" this issue but it has not.

Version 3 beta goes to the same website as version 2.3.2 to import a PDF. If Audiveris has problems with the file, changing MuseScore versions won't fix it.
