Generating PDF with unoconv is broken in JS-report 4.9 and later

[Joren-Thijs-KasparSolutions]

We recently upgraded our dev environment from JS-report 4.6 to v4.9. And generating a PDF with unoconv no longer works.
We have a minimal example with a word docx template and some simple JSON data that form an example resume.
When running this example we now get the following error:

Report "CV" render failed.

I also tried the most recent v4.10 and we still have the same issue. We are using the jsreport/jsreport:4.10.0-full image.

If I deselct unoconv below, it renders the docx template correctly as a docx but we need it in pdf format.
Can you recommend any solutions to this?

[admin]

I've pushed the fixed jsreport/jsreport:4.10.0-full
Please clean your images cache and try it again.

Note that the unoconv extension is deprecated. You should use libreoffice extension instead.
