"Invalid image dimensions" from `qvm-convert-pdf`

Has anyone gotten this error from qvm-convert-pdf?

Invalid image dimensions

I’m trying to sanitize a PDF using qvm-convert-pdf, but it fails (without outputting the sanitized pdf) with this error. I don’t know what to do :frowning:

user@host:~$ qvm-convert-pdf some-file.pdf
Sending file to Disposable VM...

 some-file.pdf...fail

error: some-file.pdf: Invalid image dimensions

Total Sanitized Files:  0/1
user@host:~$ 

Anyone know what causes this, and what is the workaround?

As far as I can tell, this is the code that’s responsible for this error:

Update: I also tried using dangerzone in a DispVM, and it also failed with the pdf file with the following error

Unknown error code '125'e[0m
Marking doc Mf39Kl as 'failed'

I got them to work in dangerzone by increasing the “private storage” disk space of the DispVM from 2 GB to 20 GB.

The PDF files that failed are about 10 MB to 20 MB each.

I’m guessing I would have to do the same for the DispVM to fix this issue in Qubes.

Okay, can you confirm the increased private storage also works with qvm-convert-pdf?
