pdf2htmlEX cannot open or read file

I installed docker and run pdf2htmlEX through it

alias pdf2htmlEX="docker run -ti --rm -v ~/pdf:/pdf bwits/pdf2htmlex pdf2htmlEX"
pdf2htmlEX -h 
pdf2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 test.pdf

This is my path and the pdf's contained inside:

~/Desktop/pdf$ ls 
test.pdf    testpdf.pdf

When running the following commands:

df2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 test.pdf
df2htmlEX test.pdf
df2htmlEX pdf/test.pdf
df2htmlEX ~pdf/test.pdf

and other combinations with the full path before test.pdf I continue to get unable to read the file errors.

I/O Error: Couldn't open file 'test.pdf': No such file or directory.
Error: Cannot read the file

I am not sure if permissions is a cause, but when checking on user permissions it has read and write:

-rw-r--r--@ 1 test.pdf
-rw-r--r--@ 1 testpdf.pdf

Any idea on why it is not finding or cannot read the pdf file that is there? I am trying to convert it to .html

Host path should be directed like this.

docker run -ti --rm -v /Users/<path>:/pdf bwits/pdf2htmlex pdf2htmlEX test.pdf

Please refer to https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/

not sure if other people ran into this problem, but the documentation was unclear to me.

brew install pdf2htmlex

and then restart your terminal did the trick for me. I am not sure if that was required with docker spinning up pdf2htmlex or not, but it worked for me.
