      If file conversions fails for some reason, code doesn't stop the execution and queue is cleaned so failed conversion can't be restarted

      1. Use Moodle 3.5
      2. Install attached pseudo async plugin fileconverter_example.zip  (copied from MDL-55528).
      3. Install ghostcript and unoconv on server  

        apt install ghostscript
        		 
         
        		 
        apt install unoconv

      1. Enable plugin in admin/settings.php?section=managefileconverterplugins
      2. Disable all other file converters
      3. Create assignment with file submission and enable annotations
      4. Submit file to assignment in format other than pdf - for example odt
      5. Run scheduled task 

        php admin/tool/task/cli/schedule_task.php --execute='\assignfeedback_editpdf\task\convert_submissions'

      Expected behaviour: exception is thrown. Task can be restarted and process failed submission

      Actual behaviour: you will see error

      Conversion failed with error:Could not find readonly pages for grade 37342

      But code will keep execution and cleans up the queue, so task restart won't process failed submissions

      Description

      File: mod/assign/feedback/editpdf/classes/task/convert_submissions.php
      Function: execute()

      The bit of code that actually does the conversion is (for no clear reason) wrapped in a try..catch block. All it does is float a different error. 

      This is (IMO) both pointless and masks the real error if anything does go wrong.

      Suggest removing the try..catch
