We are getting an issue with pdftotext.
installed the package here in /usr/local/bin .

It is working in local machine. when we tried in the server, we got this issue

extractor for type exists, but failed to initialize. Message: INFO: 'pdftotext' does not appear to be installed, so textract will be unable to extract PDFs.

Did we missed any packages or steps? Please help us to solve this issue.

OS: ubuntu

Try to install poppler-utils:

sudo apt install poppler-utils

It worked on CentOS 5, btw, but I spent a lot of time trying to find some rpm package.

Adding it to the README would have saved me a lot of time.
