Invalid Cross-Device Link

[deon-gracias]

While trying to run a split on a pdf and writing it to the same area. I get this error of Invalid Cross-Device.

Going through the source code and messing I came to know it's cause of the os.Rename done in pkg/pdf/utils.go specifically in writePdf function on line 83.

The fix I found for it was just simply copying the file to the TEMP_DIR but then there's an issue that we cannot delete the file from TEMP_DIR when it is /tmp due to access rights I think.

Hi @deon-gracias do you modify the unipdf-cli code?

I tried but can't reproduce the issue.

alip@alips unipdf % go run main.go split ~/unipdf-security-report-3.pdf ~/unipdf-security-report-3.pdf 1
Successfully split file ~/unipdf-security-report-3.pdf
Output file saved to ~/unipdf-security-report-3.pdf
alip@alips unipdf %

No I haven't, but I still re-cloned the repository and tried again. This was the result.

I also checked if I have some other /tmp/unipdf_sample.pdf in my file doing a ls grep but nothing showed up

Could you share your pdf file?

Hard to debug if unable to reproduce the issue

I'm sure its not the pdf that is the issue but here you go. I'll also look into some solutions, other than just copying the file to the /tmp dir

Yes, I am unable to reproduce it.
