I am having issues with Poppler playing nice with the DigitalOcean Apps. I have a Django Web App that I have built and I have an automation script that I want to run. This script takes the text file reads the file and then puts the contents into a db field for a user text search function.
It will work on my local machine, but it will not run. I get a PDFInfoNotInstalledError. In researching that error it states that Poppler is not installed and will need to be installed. Digital Ocean will not let you do an apt install from the console. I created an aptfile to install poppler. I was asked by DO support to add it in the requirement.txt file. I did that and added the path to the $PATH variables. Still was getting the same error. Unsure on what to do next can someone help me with this issue?
I have tried to add poppler to the server, I have tried adding a python package for poppler. I was expecting for this to be recognized so that the OCR tool could work.
