MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Workers always timeout when i try to read a pdf online

I have many large and small pdfs I'd like to read, and I've tried reading them on server in ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 calibre version 3.44. In all cases the pdf fails to convert and i get an error that :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/srv/jobs.py", line 44, in run
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/simple_worker.py", line 229, in fork_job
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/simple_worker.py", line 107, in communicate
WorkerError: Worker appears to have hung

Is there anything I can do to help? I know a little python. Can the pdfs be prepared in the gui so that no timeout occurs? Also does the web interface for server download the whole book, or just a few pages at a time?
