PDF - An error occurred loading the labeling interface

[dhernandez]

It seems that PDF interface is not working. I followed next steps:

• Setup new NER file
• Import samples by URL
• Go to label

Instead of expected PDF viewer, app returns an error:

Checked in web app, using Chrome and Firefox in a Linux client (KDE Neon). Also, in 0.13.3 and 0.12.12 desktop versions.

Hey @dhernandez, we don't currently parse the PDFs for text. But this is an interesting feature id, we could do text extraction on each PDF to get the text out right?

Hi, @seveibar, I think that it could be a useful feature. Look at inception or tagtog approaches for this task.
