  • Hello Team, we have suddenly started have started facing issues with Pdf tools plugin in production environment, we are currently using 
    Convert PDF To Image & Convert Image To PDF modules from the subjected plugin.
    The above-mentioned nodes get failed with error saying, "An error occurred in executing an Activity Class." and an attempt to restart the node sometimes fixed the issue with the instances and sometimes it takes 2 to 3 restart attempts to successfully resume the process and meanwhile it keeps giving the same error.
    We are using latest version of the plugin 2.8.0 currently. any input will be greatly appreciated.
