`# If we hit an error log it and keep trying
try:

            if res is not None:

                # Todo
                return res`

maybe here should some fix

I'm also experiencing this error not on every pdf but just on some of them, and it doesn't finish the conversion to md file

@aylitat I'm getting the same error above.

I have a FastAPI application utilizing markitdown through the MarkItDown API. My endpoint receives a pdf file and should be processed by markitdown. Not sure where the exact problem really lies
