Do you have the external PDF converter installed (pdftotext or pdftohtml or
something like that)?

I have Adobe Reader installed on the box, if that's what you mean? I also
followed the instructions regarding the Windows xpdf package in case it
didn;t like Adobe Reader.

I only have the below transforms installed

Obviously the pdf_to_text transformation is missing - no idea why (installed
and available by default).

No idea what you did to drop the pdf_to_text transformation (you know). You
may try to reimport the related import step for the Plone profile through
portal_setup.
