Hi,

It looks like the text isn't being extracted from a PDF and, rather than
the PDF convert plugin gracefully returning, it trips a file missing
check in Convert::IndexCodes.

Can you compare your set of Convert plugins with:
http://trac.eprints.org/eprints/browser/tags/3.3.7/system/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Convert

It doesn't look like you should get to the problem you have, so I'm
wondering if you have an old PDF text extraction plugin that's getting
in the way (instead of Convert::DocPDF and the 'antiwordpdf' utility).
