PDF -> PNG error

This is an error, but I didn't see where to submit it. When trying to convert a PDF to PNG I received this message:
Error

Thank you for reporting this issue ! I really appreciate the feedback.
You're right, this is a known problem I've been working on. PDF to PNG conversion doesn't work properly in our current setup because it requires special software that isn't available in the browser environment.
I'm actually rolling out better document support later today that will fix many conversion issues... PDF processing will still have some limitations since it needs tools that can't run in a web browser.
For now, if you need to convert something to PDF instead, that should work much better.
Thanks again for the detailed error report... this kind of feedback is really helpful for making improvements 😊
