Unable to parse some pdf files #352

I am not able to read some pdf files. it is giving error - Unable to start parsing PDF file. Can you help in which scenario this occurs ? I believe it is coming from cpp

julianhille commented 1 year ago

that normally just happens if the file can not be opened. Pleas provide sample files or code to get a better understanding of what you are trying to do. My guess actually is read rights for node js against the pdf file you are trying to open by a path.

It happens rarely. I cant share you the specific pdf file but here's the code. I am running this code against that file locally so I don't think there is any specific read rights issue. Do let me know if you have any suggestions on this. Thanks for the help.
