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 -- John A.
