I have exactly the same problem, setting default disposable vm helped, but now i can not convert more then 50 pages. I tried with fedora and debian disposable vms too. I get

Sending file to Disposable VM…

mypdf.pdf…50/604

Total Sanitized Files: 0/1

Can I get more logs from qvm-convert-pdf?

Seems to be a different issue. Does it say XXX.pdf…0/?Request refused?

Make sure you’re not just running out of disk space inside the qube.

Sorry for the late answer, last week was horrible…

#deeplow: No, it doesn’t say Request refused, the only output I get is what I wrote above, nothing else.

#adw: I gave both VMs more RAM and storage, if the converter doesn’t need more GB for this task, I should be fine.

@Danka90 it seems to be a different issue, then. I’ve move the post to its own thread.

There’s an open issue about converting PDFs - I’m really hampered
because I cant duplicate any of these issues.
Would it be at all possible for you to provide a sample that creates
this error? (It wont help but I often convert PDFs longer than 50 pages)

Try using a much smaller batch number. like:
qvm-convert-pdf -b 2 foo.pdf

I’m finding the PIL.save() function fails without being caught as an error when the append_images list is too long. May be an issue with my version of the pillow library if others aren’t able to replicate it. For now, just using a really tiny batch size fixes the issue, even if it does take a lot longer.
