Hi! PPower4 is fantastic, thanks! But it does not work (on my iBook) on pdf files created by pdflatex on my iBook, while it does work (on my iBook) on pdf files created by pdflatex on other systems. However the pdf files on the iBook are readable by acrobat and whatever, I cannot detect anything wrong with them or my pdflatex installation.
PPower4 gives the following error messages: [Richard-Gills-Computer:~/Desktop/Passion] richard% ppower4 passion.0.pdf passion.2.pdf This is PPower4 version 0.8.4. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String at com.etymon.pj.PdfParser.parse(PdfParser.java:353) at com.etymon.pj.PdfParser.getObjects(PdfParser.java:41) at com.etymon.pj.Pdf.readFromFile(Pdf.java:789) at com.etymon.pj.Pdf.<init>(Pdf.java:53) at de.tu_darmstadt.sp.pp4.PP4Pages.work(PP4Pages.java:718) at de.tu_darmstadt.sp.pp4.PPower4.main(PPower4.java:174) pdflatex gives no serious error messages, I append a small part of the log file below. What to do? How to find out what is wrong with a pdf file? Anyone else had and solved this problem? Anyone like to inspect my pdf?
