The exception that can occur
An error that can occur is when the PDF is applied to the PDF.If the password is not set, or if the password is different, even if it is a PDF with a password, an error will occur.
In addition, if each file path is wrong, or if the image data cannot be obtained well from the PDF, an error may occur.
If the image is not required, we recommend that you implement the block process.
