Assignment Feedback Converter

Hi,

I have been trying to upload a file converter within assignment feedback/plugins so that when assessors are marking in the left side of the assignment they are able to view the assignment and make annotations but don't seem to be able to make this work. I keep getting an error message:

"Cannot open PDF. The file may be corrupt, or in an unsupported format"

Would anyone have come across this before and if so any pointers on what I may be doing incorrect.

In order to convert uploaded documents, one of 2 document converters must
be setup.

https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Document_converters

Unoconv - which requires python, the unoconv python script, LibreOffice, and
the setup of a listener for your server's operating system.

Google Drive/API - requires a project setup in/on Google with the account used for that project being the passthrough for the conversion API on the Google end.

Comment: between the 2, Google Drive might be easier.

To annotate a doc converted to a png images - which is really what you see in the left panel ...  Ghostscript must be installed.
Path to ghostscript is?   Site Admin menu, Search term 'path' ... look for paths.
