We discussed this just a couple of days ago. :o) Check out https://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html <https://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html> and download the command line tools. I haven’t try “pdftopng” but in my dropbox there is a v18 sample/test DB that works on Mac (Catalina) and Win10 (20H2) at least for the text conversion. You can download it from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9t7zyll2mt82eww/XpdfRead.4dbase.zip?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/9t7zyll2mt82eww/XpdfRead.4dbase.zip?dl=0> And here is part of the post from yesterday: xpdf-tools/XpdfReader was suggested by Wolfgang Kunkel (if you come across that 4D-Partner, please thank him) that there could be problems running it in 4d-Server on macOS. After some testing I decided to go with the OpenSource-alternative to be called by LEP.
