I've been having a few issues with documents created with the Plucker
Destop on the Mac. Turns out it's using an old version of the
distiller (the package was releases Oct 28, 2003 according to the
about info, not sure how to get the version of the actual
distiller). The main issue I was having was with the enhanced table
support, the distiller would just stop processing. Found a couple
bug reports that mentioned it was fixed. So after updating the
distiller for the plucker desktop, I got it to work. Here's how to
do it. (instructions are probably similar on the windows version, at
least as far as looking for the old PyPlucker folder and replacing it)
- Go to plucker's download page and get the following
Plucker Desktop for Apple OSX 1.6.0.1 (verify that's the latest
you have)
Plucker 1.8 Distiller, Python version
- After installing Plucker Desktop, or making sure you have the
latest version, make a copy of the Plucker.app and put it somewhere
(right click (control-click if you don't have a right mouse button)
on it and choose "Copy Plucker", then click where you want to copy it
(I chose the desktop), right click, "Paste")
- MAKE SURE PLUCKER DESKTOP IS CLOSED
- right click on the original Plucker item and choose "Show Package
Contents"
- Navigate to Contents > Resources > parser > python
- right click on "PyPython" and choose "Move to trash" to delete it
- Go to where you downloaded the plucker_parser file and double click
on it. This should extract it to the same directory in a
"plucker-1.8" subdirectory.
- Move the "PyPlucker" directory to the python folder inside the
plucker.app.
- Open up plucker desktop and try updating something, it should be
using the new version.
