fillForm is broken #6

Open stocksp opened 9 years ago

stocksp commented 9 years ago

I posted this in the Meteor forums, as I think it's a Meteor bug ... maybe not?! After installing the package: Run meteor and inspect the pdftk_pdftk.js Meteor package system has generated. It lives in .meteor/local/build/programs/server/packages. line 70 has a blank space appended to 'fill_form' the second parameter return PDFTK.execute([pdf, 'fill_form ', xfdf, 'output', output], callback);

If you examine the source of the package on GitHub, you can see the original file is fine and not the source of the bad parameter. Running PDFTK.execute directly with the proper name (no space) and fillForm works correctly

What version?

stocksp commented 9 years ago

OS X Yosemite

What is strange is that the bug in the file was fixed in pull request #3 six months ago.

Pdftk should work on that version. On OS X 10.11 it really is broke. How did you install pdftk? Did you use pdf labs install? If not, I would give that a try. That install should work with OS X 10.10.

I see that bug you are referring to. Are you actully getting that error? I have my own pdftk package that should work.

pdftk is working fine. I can actually run the 'form_fill' from the command line. It must just be that this repo has just not be pushed to Atmosphere and its using the old code. I'll probably just clone the repo and fix it locally. I got it running using PDFTK.execute, so I'm good. Hopefully the package owners will get around to updating Atmosphere

Yeah, don't count on it -- that's why i started my own repo. By the way, watch out upgrading to 10.11, pdftk on the command line will not run form fills (or anything else for that matter). I found out the hard way. Good luck.

They fixed it (sorta) as answered here. You can download the pdftk for OSX 10.11 here but the app is still buggy - it can't open PDFs that have owner password but no user password (i.e. files it SHOULD be able to open).
