m0ji, i think this is due to Imagemagick not being "authorized" to convert pdf to images, see:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/60580
a possible fix is explained here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52998331/imagemagick-security-policy-pdf-blocking-conversion
...or just wait for your distro to somehow "fix" the imagemagick package.

Anyway, you can start from the console and check the output that way:
> pdf-afterscan.gui.sh /path/to/my/document.pdf
