PDF to Markdown confusion

[Demodius]

PDF to Markdown became available after installing pdftohtml, but it only seems to error. I started looking around here and have found a couple requests for pdf to markdown to be added and other options being suggested. Should pdftohtml be installed, or is there a different dependency I should be using that is not in the documentation? Is PDF to Markdown a functioning part of the pdftohtml addition?

[Frooodle]

yes pdftohtml is used, if any error please post that!

[Demodius]

Thank you! The pdf to html feature seems to work fine, but if I attempt to do a pdf to markdown this is the response I get.

java.io.IOException: Command process failed with exit code 1. Error message: pdftohtml version 0.39 http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/, based on Xpdf version 3.00
