Hello, my team is building a feature that requires a package called "pdftotext". It doesn't exist in out App Service so we wanted to install it ourselves. We learned that there is a limitation and that App Services does not grant "Sudo" permission to users for obvious reasons. Is there a way for Microsoft to execute the installation or can we be given temporary access?
Thank you.

Thanks for the question. Apologies for the delay in response. WE are checking internally with the engineering team to see if there is a workaround to install the "pdftotext" package and will get back to you once we hear back from them.
What type of app service are you currently using (functions, webapp, static webapp, etc)
Best,

No worries. I understand you and your team are busy. It’s a web app. -
