ERROR: Not enough space available, though adequate disk space available!

Hi,

Trying to test the script without installing (directly from the pdf_hide executable from git repo).

$ ./pdf_hide -o ~/Downloads/tomb_manpage_pdf_hide.pdf embed ~/Downloads/pdf_hide_embedded.txt ~/Downloads/tomb_manpage.pdf 
====================
This is PDF_HIDE v0.0
====================
Please enter key: 
ERROR:  Not enough space available (only 15 available, 150 needed)

Strange that it reports of inadequate space even when the 4.4TB of space available!

Debug run shows:

$ pdf_hide -vvvvv -i -o tomb_manpage_pdf_hide.pdf embed ~/Downloads/pdf_hide_embedded.txt ~/Downloads/tomb_manpage.pdf
====================
This is PDF_HIDE v0.0
====================

Oh Hi all, i think resolve here: file PDF not contain special character or metadata, like:" picture, unicode". File" innocent.pdf" just text only. So, happy with nice example and i will provide template file "innocent.pdf" link here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aWpdJ3qn21-Hvnsg9o7OJVeacRjwwxsF/view?usp=sharing K.

It seems everyone has this issue:

$ pdf_hide -o ../guide1.pdf embed ../flag.txt ../guide.pdf

This is PDF_HIDE v0.0

Please enter key: ERROR: Not enough space available (only 0 available, 126 needed)

I'm having the exact same issue. Did anyone ever figure out a fix to the 0 available, X needed error?
