Thanks for the response, Van. I don't quite follow what you mean. I am
running the filter-media command as the dspace user, but I'm not sure what is
meant by the all operations on files in /tmp part, since the filter-media
command seems to put the converted files there by default. Can you

Thanks for the responses. I checked the permissions on /usr/bin/pdftoppm and
verified that I could run it as the dspace user, so it doesn't seem to be a
permissions issue.

Just an update to this issue, it looks like there's a section missing from the
DSpace documentation. I believe this dependency needs to be added to the
pom.xml in the dspace-api directory:
dependency
groupIdcom.sun.media/groupId
artifactIdjai_imageio/artifactId

Hi Eric,
When you installed XPDF, did it install the following application:

Hi Stuart,
Pdftoppm is indeed in /usr/bin, along with the other XPDF tools, pdfinfo and

These errors imply that the JVM cannot access the executable file.
Since the file exists, make sure the user under whose UID the JVM is
running has read and execute access to the file /usr/bin/pdftoppm (as
