Hi there, I installed the deb on Ubuntu 19.04. It installed fine but gives this message over and over again:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pdfbooklet/pdfbooklet.py", line 2342, in OnDraw
document = Poppler.Document.new_from_stream(input_stream, -1, None, None)
gi.repository.GLib.GError: poppler-quark: Failed to load document (0)
The preview panel remains blank but when I press the Go button the .bklt file is produced correctly. I get the same if I download the tar and install manually. Also the same with many different input pdf files.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
TIA, Peter

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I installed the 3.1.1 deb file. It seems to use a very different system and installed into /home/travis which is not on my path so running pdfbooklet gave "command not found"
I then tried running /home/travis/virtualenv/python3.4.8/bin/pdfbooklet and got
/home/travis/virtualenv/python3.4.8/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
OK, I see. This is a consequence of the automatic build on Travis. I thought the programmer who makes the Linux versions (I am on Windows) had tested, but apparently not. I'll remove the files, fix it and ask you to test again. Thank you for your patience, it may take some days.
But if you are familiar with Linux : you could reinstall the 3.1.0 version, and replace the pdfbooklet.py file by the version present in the 3.1.1 tarball. This is the only file I have modified.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It doesn't work without the PYTHONPATH (gives 'no module named pdfbooklet' error) so the installed application shortcut doesn't work.
This gave me the poppler-quark errors as expected.
Copying pdfbooklet.py from the 3.1.1 deb into /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pdfbooklet fixed it and it works fine now.
THANK YOU!
FYI, other python packages seem to install into /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages so a workaround that gets the installed application shortcut working too is:
Hello, thanks for your tests and the deb file. We are working on an installer which would work also for the next versions, and which would install in /usr/lib/python3. But I will put online your deb file, until we have a new one. Thanks.
Would you be ready to be beta tester for next versions ?

Thanks a lot for your message. You are doing nothing wrong, this is a bug of Poppler, I think. We will try to fix that as soon as possible.
Thank you for the quick reply, I'll wait to hear back. Anything I can do to help?
I have created a 3.1.1 version which should fix this question. If new_from_steam fails, it will try new_from_file which should work.
I'll test it now, thank you.
I installed the 3.1.1 deb file. It seems to use a very different system and installed into /home/travis which is not on my path so running pdfbooklet gave "command not found"

So then I tried:
and then when I run it I get:
Not sure what to try next!

You are a star! I re-installed 3.1.0 from the deb and ran it using:
It doesn't work without the PYTHONPATH (gives 'no module named pdfbooklet' error) so the installed application shortcut doesn't work.

I've attached a deb which installs into /usr/lib/python3 and 'just works' on ubuntu in case anyone else would like it.

Always happy to help a fellow Open Sourcer!
