Any ideas why this would be failing? Unable to generate a final PDF

pdf2pdfocr.py -i test.pdf -o test2.pdf -v -k -r 200

Hi there, thanks for you message. Can you try with complete path in "-o" flag? If it keep failing, can you share input pdf ?

kenyonit commented 3 years ago

Hi there, tested with complete path and still the same outcome. Here is the sample file: test.pdf

LeoFCardoso commented 3 years ago

Works for me... :( Can you please check your qpdf version (qpdf --version) ?

kenyonit commented 3 years ago

qpdf version 8.2.1

LeoFCardoso commented 3 years ago

We need qpdf minimum 8.4.1 ... I'l fix the code to handle this situation. Can you try the upgrade? Another workaround you can try is to edit line 420, to cmd_qpdf = ""

kenyonit commented 3 years ago

Tested, works with qpdf-10.0.3 Also tested workaround - works too! Cheers!

LeoFCardoso commented 3 years ago

Great! I'm fixing the code now...

kenyonit commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the fast turn around, very much appreciated!
