Hello @Mstfcyberyksl! I'm Dosu, and I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you might have while you wait for a human maintainer. Let's tackle this together!

To resolve the "Internal Server Error: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program 'unoconv': error=2, No such file or directory" when using Stirling-PDF, you need to ensure that the unoconv program is installed on your system. The error indicates that the system cannot find the unoconv executable.

You can install unoconv on Ubuntu by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install unoconv

After installing unoconv, ensure that it is accessible in your system's PATH. You can verify the installation by running:

which unoconv

This should return the path to the unoconv executable. If it does, restart the Stirling-PDF service and try the conversion again.

Additionally, according to the Stirling-PDF documentation, you may need to start unoserver alongside Stirling-PDF to handle document conversions. You can do this by running:

unoserver --port 2003 --interface 0.0.0.0

Consider adding this command to your startup script or systemd service file to ensure it starts automatically with Stirling-PDF. This setup can help manage document conversions more effectively.

Furthermore, if you are using the non-docker version of Stirling-PDF, ensure that LibreOffice is also installed, as it is required for the conversion operations. The service uses both LibreOffice and Unoconv to convert documents to PDF ^[1][2].

Then it may be that you are missing the program: unoconv
