To add the installation of pdftotext to your Laravel Sail setup, you should modify the Dockerfile referenced in your docker-compose.yml file. In your docker-compose.yml, there's a section for the laravel.test service that specifies a build context and a Dockerfile located at ./docker/8.3/Dockerfile.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Locate the Dockerfile: Go to the ./docker/8.3/ directory in your Laravel project and find the Dockerfile.

2. Edit the Dockerfile: Open the Dockerfile and add the installation command for pdftotext. You would typically add these lines:

   RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y poppler-utils

   This command updates the package list and installs poppler-utils, which includes pdftotext.

3. Rebuild Your Docker Containers: After saving your changes to the Dockerfile, go back to the root of your Laravel project and run ./vendor/bin/sail build to rebuild the Docker containers with the new changes.

4. Restart Laravel Sail: Finally, restart Laravel Sail to apply the changes using ./vendor/bin/sail up -d.

After these steps, pdftotext should be installed in your Laravel Sail environment.

I believe you are missing
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
