Error while reading PDF text: "Unexpected PDF structure"

[MaxDS1 (Max)]

Hello,

I’m receiving the following error when using the “Rad PDF text” activity from UiPath.PDF.activites.

Read PDF Text: Unexpected PDF structure. This exception usually indicates that PDF document is malformed but also may indicate a bug in Docotic.Pdf library. Please send us the file for review.

This happens with all PDF files. It wasnt an issue until a few hours ago. Before that, with the same files, there were no issues.

The funny thing is, that it still reads the PDF file and outputs the text correctly - but why is it giving me an error?

Full error text here:

RemoteException wrapping BitMiracle.Docotic.Pdf.UnexpectedStructureException: Unexpected PDF structure. This exception usually indicates that PDF document is malformed but also may indicate a bug in Docotic.Pdf library. Please send us the file for review.
