Can't OCR a pdf file

[bit-man]

Uploading a PDF file and trying to OCR (method: simple, format : txt) by pressing button Convert into Document opens a new tab with the error Not Found and no file is downloaded

At docker console the error show is

172.17.0.1 - - [01/May/2024:20:26:37 +0000] "GET /HRProprietary/HRConvert2/DATA/856ca1146d63/7f10275ffce6/m1m2.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 489 "http://localhost:8080/HRProprietary/HRConvert2/convertCore.php?showFiles=1&gui=Default&language=en&color=blue" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0"

Doing tail of txt log at Logs folder shows

Tryed to follow code at convertCore.php and seems the failing code is at if (!in_array(strtolower($oldExtension), $pdf1array)) . This evaluation results in false and thus no attempt to convert is made which makes no sense to me because its supposed to be the Code to convert a PDF to a document, as stated by the previous line comment

Stripped of the negation and an file si downloaded but is empty 😢 . Still not working
The log output follows :

No time today to do a followup. Will try the weekend or else. Happy if anyone else can continue from here
Added this change to https://github.com/bit-man/HRConvert2 in case anyone wants to try a fix

Sorry for the delayed response. Can you try the following.....

sudo leafpad /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

Find and edit the following line.....

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />

.....To.....

<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />

And let me know the result.
