                I can not solve this one.
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    When running a service (in this case the Markdown Service Tools MultiMarkdown to RTF service), I'm getting "Couldn't communicate with a helper application." However, the actual error in console is shown below, an unexpected type error. This was working fine until High Sierra.
The service:

takes text input, generates RTF using multimarkdown->html->textutil
Uses pbcopy -Prefer rtf to put the result in the clipboard as rich text (rtf)
the service retrieves the content of the clipboard and that's what it returns

Here's the error, any insight would be welcome:
