Hi,

for error recovering of a connector execution, you need to use the Subscription version.

Are you sure that the “ThisisTest.pdf” file is the jar of the connector?
Are yoiu sure that you can call .open() on a Document that created without parameter?

The logs are available in engine logs: Help–> SHow engine logs.

Do you get a stacktrace in the engine logs?
