"Caught error creating PDF" when author field set to URL
Brought to you by:

To reproduce:
- open/scan image
- select File/Email as PDF
- type "https://foo.bar" into Author field
- see the error:
Caught error creating PDF ..: Unable to open .. for writing at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/PDF/Builder/Basic/PDF/File.pm line 623.
Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it.
If I put
https://foo.bar
into the author field, then by default, gscan2pdf suggestshttps://foo.bar 2023-10-01.pdf
as the filename, but the save button is then ghosted. If I change the filename, then I can create a PDF withhttps://foo.bar
in the author field.Please start gscan2pdf from the command line with the --log=log option, reproduce the problem, quit, and post the log file. Then I'll take another look.
