@Quent known n8n bug, not your workflow. The Extract from File PDF operation bundles pdf.js, and on recent Cloud builds (2.25-2.26.x) its pdf.js API and worker are on mismatched versions (your 5.3.31 vs 5.4.296), so any PDF parse throws this. Others hit the identical error on Cloud; the fix is upgrading pdfjs-dist in n8n core, still pending.

Nothing to fix in your node. Until n8n ships it:

  1. Extract the PDF text outside that node, an HTTP Request to a PDF-to-text API, or a verified community PDF node.
  2. If you can change your n8n version on Cloud, an earlier build may dodge the conflict, worth a test.

Don’t burn time on your config, it’s the node’s bundled pdf.js.
