    Hi there, really cool plugin, has a lot of potential.

    Some installation issues

    Debian 9

    Ziparchive – apt install php-zip – OK (Was already installed)
    pdfimages – apt install poppler-utils – OK (This was the simplest package to get the util)

    pdfminer – This is where the trouble starts.
    Debian provides a python-pdfminer package but your plugin could NOT find it once installed. Trying to install pdfminer from pip would also fail while the debian package (python-pdfminer) was installed. I think the detection routine could use some work.

    Regardless after installing from pip (not my preferred method) the plugin worked fine.

    Even though the plugin works fine, I am receiving a message at the top of my screen in the PDF 2 Post area

    The security check failed

    Don’t know what that is.

    Thanks for your feedback @andreastyrosvoutis !
    Please ignore the message “Security check failed” (just a nonce not set correctly, but no security problem really, will be fixed soon)
    It’s really possible that the backoffice says pdf2txt.py is not installed, altough it is! Beacause it ‘s difficult to track it.
    So if the post creation works with images and text, all is correctly set up for sure.
    Cheers

    Yes, I will remove it from/via pip, install the debian package (python-pdfminer) and try to get the error again. Will take a little bit cause I don’t have debug on the site I am testing on. Will send to the link you asked, no problem.

    Ok, I figured out the issue while I was collecting logs.
    You are checking for a command:
    pdf2txt.py

    Which is the name of the command when installed via Pip.

    When installed via package it is called
    pdf2txt only.

    ??

    Will send you collected information in just a min.

    Sent, although your form gave me a bit of a hard time. ??

    Thanks a lot!
    Why did the form gave you hard time ? The ReCaptcha ?

    At first I didn’t enter a lastname (theoretically not required?), the form gave me an error on submit..

    But the errors, which were in french appeared underneath almost every field and specifically under the attached file field which made me think it was rejecting the file-type.

    Its possible I clicked submit too fast for the recaptcha, who knows.
    Regardless, it was a bit too much information to submit for just a quick contact for my tastes. 2 x email, firstname lastname etc ??
