Unable to refresh dataset from PDF

Good Morning,

 

For the last couple of weeks when attempting to refresh a dataset in Power BI Service, I keep getting an error message.  I have updated to the October 2020 release of the Power BI gateway and was hoping that work resolve my issue but it hasn't.  I'm able to open this report in Power BI desktop an refresh without any issues.  The datasource is pulling from several different PDF documents get show the data on the report.

 

The error has a thing at the end saying "Unexpected version of pdf2text.dll: expected version=20, found version=18".  But I'm not sure if that is something I can update or even how to update it.  I have the full error message below.
