I like to use the PDF2TextReader_custom transformer to convert pdf files to text files in FME 2022. I downloaded the pdftotext application(v. 4.04) from XpdfReader and followed the installation instructions. Trying to run the transformer it gives the error 'Error opening pdf file'. Using the command-line executor of windows I'm able to convert the pdf to text(including a xpdfrc-configuration file in the same directory as the pdftotext-file, as advised by XpdfReader). My question, what can be wrong when I use the FME-transformer?
