Cloud not convert stream / pdf to markdown

[TorgeStahl]

Hey there,

i wanted to generate a markdown of a really long pdf document (roughly around 100 pages). Simple print works, but as soon as it should be converted to markdown, it gives the following issue below. Is there a now limitation to the length of a document?

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the report. Let's get to the bottom of this.

What version of the library are you using? Did you install it with [all] or at least [pdf]?
Is this a problem with all (e.g., smaller) PDFs? Or just this one?
Are you using the python library or the command line?

On my plate is to add a debug option and more python logging, to better support debugging these types of scenarios.
