I am getting the following issue when I was trying to extract the attached

Interstallar.pdf

PDF.

FileConversionException: Could not convert 'Interstallar.pdf' to Markdown. File type was recognized as ['.pdf', '.pdf', '.fdf']. While converting the file, the following error was encountered:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I just tried to restart to install pdfminer and it works. The pdfminer version is:

➜  pip list | grep pdf                 
pdfminer.six             20240706
