Error Processing PDF: Command failed with EACCES #95

Closed csducate closed 2 years ago

csducate commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to get OZI set up on a new computer, but when I go to extract annotations, I get "Error Processing PDF: Command failed with EACCES". The problem occurs with every PDF I've tried.

I've tried to Google what EACCES is to troubleshoot myself, but I'm stumped. Any help or advice on how to fix the problem?

I believe this means that obsidian doesn't have permissions to access to the PDF extraction utility pdfannots2json for some reason. Is your vault synced between multiple devices? You could try deleting /Users/cducate/Documents/Knowledge Hub/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-zotero- desktop-connector/pdfannots2json and reinstalling it from the plugin settings.

Aha! Deleting and reinstalling worked! Would not have thought of that. Thank you!
