Issue with “Extract Resume PDF” Node – DOMMatrix is not defined Error (v1.98.1 Self-Hosted)

Hi n8n Team,

I’m encountering a critical issue while using the Extract from File node (specifically with PDF extraction) on a self-hosted instance of n8n (version 1.98.1). The workflow fails with the following error:

      "    at WorkflowExecute.runNode (...)"
    ]
  }
}

The error appears to be linked to a missing reference to DOMMatrix, which I understand is a browser-specific object and may not be available in a Node.js environment.

Could you please confirm if this is a known issue, and if there’s a workaround or upcoming fix for self-hosted users using this node?

Thanks in advance for your help.

do a simple roll back to a version earlier than the current one and that’s it.

What if I’m using the n8n hosted version? I have multiple workflows that deppend on that node :^(

I had the same issue after updating it today. I run it in a self hosted docker instance inside truenas scale, and I rolled back to an oder version. i went back to the version 1.97.1 and my workflows were running smooth again.
