I ran `which gs convert pdfinfo pdftotext` and noticed that the output was `/usr/bin/gs`, etc. The Ubuntu defaults for PdfHandler have the path set as `gs`, not `/usr/bin/gs`. I changed the paths for `gs`, `pdfinfo`, and `pdftotext` to their `/usr/bin` equivalents and also disabled the shell memory limit by setting `$wgMaxShellMemory = 0` in LocalSettings.php. I re-uploaded the files, and now they have proper thumbnails and previews as well as being searchable. It took a few minutes for the server to process the changes, but after that everything worked smoothly.
