## How to  



### Problems

You might get an error like this

```
attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy 'PDF'
```

On my development machine (Ubuntu 19.10 Pop_OS), I just edit the `/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml`

Change the line `<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />` to
`<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />` then it works.
