That step can now be cancelled. When it is, Claude Code stops the program, waits for it to exit, and treats the result as a cancellation instead of a `pdftoppm` error.\n\n**Why**\n\nStopping Claude Code while it reads a PDF no longer leaves a conversion running in the background or shows a misleading error."}
