Hi Philip,
As a work-around, would you mind trying to following to see if it
resolves the problem for you?
Change the value in the <LAF> element ~/.pdfsam/config.xml to '1':
...
<settings>
<lookAndfeel>
<LAF>1</LAF>
^
|
...
It is set to '5' in the upstream sources here [1], which corresponds to
the PlasticXP LAF (Look And Feel), and the Debian packaging uses the
upstream template config as-is. I'm not yet clear on why that LAF is
broken for pdfsam in Debian right now, but I believe it may be a more
general issue with Swing apps using that LAF. The mapping of LAFs known
to pdfsam can be found in [2].
If you get a chance to test and report back, that would be helpful.
Thank you,
tony
