Unable to convert pdf

[sareporter]

I'm using Fedora 34. Attempting to convert a pdf results in a "Converting document to pixels" message, then after a few seconds, Dangerzone stops working with a "Failed :(" message. I also see a "Return Code 1" if that's relevant.

Thanks for any help you can offer ...

I encountered the same issue and it looks like the culprit is a standard selinux policy in fedora.
Heres the AVC denial

SELinux is preventing python3 from read access on the file HS#47_Digital.pdf.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that python3 should be allowed read access on the HS#47_Digital.pdf file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'python3' --raw | audit2allow -M my-python3
# semodule -X 300 -i my-python3.pp

The policy generated by ausearch -c 'python3' --raw | audit2allow -M my-python3 did not work for me. After loading it, dangerzone threw an error that the file is not supported.

When SELinux is put in to permissive mode it works, but that's no proper solution.
And i currently do not understand SELinux enough, to find one.

Maybe @micahflee can take a look at it.
