Bugfix/9816

[cscheid]

Closes #9816.

This will fail CI because pdftotext isn't installed, so that needs fixing.

Nice idea!

Is this expected that the test passes on windows though ?

I thought it would need the deps. I know how to install it, but I am surprised it worked already

I'm surprised too! I read somewhere that pdftotext is installed with miktex; I wonder if tinytex also installs it?

[cderv]

Oh lets me check that ! highly possible !

[cderv]

So locally I need to install it at least. Otherwise,

Failed to spawn 'pdftotext': program not found

But when I do have, it works ok.

So it seems that somehow, pdftotext is on PATH in our CI. I will to know what brings it, so that we are not surprised when it breaks, but for now this is good news.

I have got the answer !

It is available with Git For Windows as part of mingw64 distribution

> gcm pdftotext

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Application     pdftotext.exe                                      0.0.0.0    C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\pdftotext.exe

So it is found !

Though version available is 4.00

> pdftotext --version
pdftotext version 4.00

But as long as it works ok ! I think we should be good.

If you prefer to be safe, installing as I mentioned in other thread will be the way to go. Just tells me

[cscheid]

This is good enough for me!
