Closed carlcrott closed 11 years ago

Just ran an attempt to clean a paper from " Analytical Chemistry " + failed with the following error:

thrive@thrive-laptop:~/python_projects/pdfparanoia$ pdfparanoia Ramoji2012.pdf -o Ramoji2012_clean.pdf 
Traceback (most recent call last):

    outputcontent = pdfparanoia.scrub(StringIO(Args.in_pdf.read()), verbose=verbose)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'scrub'

Also per headline... it would be awesome to have a working test PDF.

You are using an old version of pdfparanoia, can you try upgrading? I don't see the error on v0.0.15 at the moment.

pip install -U pdfparanoia

Looks like it ran through. Also I attempted to upgrade to the most recent version with 

git pull origin master

no luck ... but the 

pip install -U pdfparanoia

worked just fine... awaiting verification from client :D
