Hello, all.  First of all, thanks to the developers for a great product
which fulfills a gaping need.  We have a client who is interested in
moving to Linux on the desktop but does a lot of pdf annotation and
editing with Acrobat.  We would like them to use pdfedit.

However, we crashed on the very first test .pdf file they sent us.  The
file opens fine in kpdf.  This is the output we receive:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pdfedit BidForms.pdf
clone: JBIG2Stream::clone is not implemented
2:KERNEL:cxref.cc:fetch:554: Object can't be cloned. Uses objNull
instead
clone: JBIG2Stream::clone is not implemented
2:KERNEL:cxref.cc:fetch:554: Object can't be cloned. Uses objNull
instead
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NotImplementedException'
  what():  feature "clone failure." is not implemented
Aborted (core dumped)

This first happened using version 0.3.2 from the Ubuntu Hardy repository
on both i386 and amd64.  The systems are fully patched.  I then removed
0.3.2 on the i386 computer and installed 0.4.1 from the deb file on the
pdfedit web site and experienced the same results.

I suspect the common denominator of the crashing .pdf files is they were
all edited with Acrobat Standard (I do not know which version) before
being sent to me.  What can I do to get this to work? Thanks - John

PS - While working further with this client, it appears they frequently
convert .tiffs to .pdf (FAXes) and then use Acrobat's OCR to make the
text readable for copying and pasting.  I did not see that functionality
in pdfedit.  I've also not had particularly good OCR results in Linux
(gocr, clara).  Do you have any suggestions to match this Acrobat
Standard feature? Thanks - John
