Note: I see two alternative project for a modern and correctly maintenained pdf builder:
have a look at: https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF
Another solution may be simply use poppler-utils : https://packages.debian.org/fr/bullseye/poppler-utils instead of python-poppler lib, this avoid license issues (poppler is gpl) and having weak connection has some benefit (seems easier to make timeout for example).
fixed by the poppler based builder #275
We currently get many trouble with pypdf2:
This library is not properly maintained (now a new project pypdf4 exist) We should find a pdf library that can handle properly those use case and recreate a new pdf builder. Poppler seems the way to go : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppler_(software) (used by libreoffice, evince, inkscape, etc...)
