PDF to Text/RTF fails

[girish]

Error

Internal Server Error:Command process failed with exit code 77. Error message: Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly (process:70): dconf-CRITICAL **: 08:57:54.827: unable to create directory '/home/cloudron/.cache/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly. LibreOffice 7.3 - Fatal Error: The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed. 

[girish]

I made that error go away but it always produces empty text.

Running soffice --infilter=writer_pdf_import --convert-to txt:Text --outdir /tmp/invoice Invoice.pdf locally also doesn't work

[Kubernetes]

@girish Did you try another PDF? Is your PDF a text based document, or a PDF with images?

[girish]

I tried a couple but I think maybe it needs text in the PDF for this feature to work (i.e this is not OCR).

@girish said in PDF to Text/RTF fails:

I think maybe it needs text in the PDF for this feature to work (i.e this is not OCR)

That's what I was going to say it could very likely be.

Edit: but I don't think that is the case. I just tried with a PDF that has text and got the same error:

java.io.IOException: Command process failed with exit code 77. Error message: javaldx failed!

@jdaviescoates the javaldx issue is sorted out in latest update atleast (I think).

[girish]

@archos I think this one is fixed with the latest update.

[Berliner]

@girish this is right. Updated the app and now it works.

[girish]

OCR should also work better now. It was missing a bunch of packages.

[archos]

@girish But converting to PDF doesn't work for me, I tried reinstalling the apps but it's the same.
I also tried different formats DOC, XLS, XLSX, ODT.

[necrevistonnezr]

For me, it’s doing something but doesn’t let me access the file after conversion - nothing happens:

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr I noticed that for some of the conversions. The processing button would be disabled but the browser already downloaded the file under Downloads.

[girish]

@archos please try with v1.1.0 package . Think I have fixed it for real now.

[archos]

@girish Great, thanks so much for the update. Already the conversion to PDF format is working.

[LoudLemur]

I tried this yesterday, pdf-to-rtf, pdf-to-txt. Both failed, and created empty files instead. Might it have been due to a lack of memory being allocated? App Version: 0.10.3

[nebulon]

Were there any errors shown or if the app crashed out of memory, you should see a notification about that in Cloudron. And just to be sure, have you tried other pdf documents?

[jdaviescoates]

@LoudLemur said in PDF to Text/RTF fails:

I tried this yesterday, pdf-to-rtf, pdf-to-txt. Both failed, and created empty files instead.

Same.

@nebulon said in PDF to Text/RTF fails:

Were there any errors shown

No errors were shown on screen nor in the app logs.

@nebulon said in PDF to Text/RTF fails:

And just to be sure, have you tried other pdf documents?

Yes, I've tried numerous PDFs all with the same empty .txt file as the result.
