#36 Invalid literal for Decimal: '-30.-1'

[Rémi G.]

Hi,

I use daily PDFShuffler 0.6.0 on Fedora 20 to merge two identical PDF before printing (to print multiple pages on one side).

For the first time it doesn't work and I get an error dialog when trying to save with the following message:

Invalid literal for Decimal: '-30.-1'

Launching PDFshuffler from a terminal, I can see the following additional messages:

$ pdfshuffler 
Syntax Warning (79565): Badly formatted number
Syntax Warning (79567): Badly formatted number
Syntax Warning (79565): Badly formatted number
Syntax Warning (79567): Badly formatted number
Syntax Warning (79565): Badly formatted number
Syntax Warning (79567): Badly formatted number

I tried to compile my LaTeX document again without seeing any change.

If you think this is too specific, feel free to close my bug report. I have attached the culprit file in case this is a PDFShuffler issue and you want to investigate.

Thanks for your work on PDFShuffler, as I said I use daily and it usually works like a charm.

Rémi.

It seems related to the cursive font I'm using with LaTeX from the frcursive package. So I think the bug can be closed (sorry for the inconvenience, I should have investigate further before).

For completeness, i have copied below the two minimal examples I have used and attached the corresponding PDF files.

Minimal working example that works with PDFShuffler:

\documentclass[varwidth,margin=0.5cm]{standalone}
\begin{document}
  test
\end{document}

The corresponding file is Example1-works(without_frcursive).pdf

Minimal working example that fails with PDFShuffler

\documentclass[varwidth,margin=0.5cm]{standalone}
\usepackage{frcursive} 
\begin{document}
  \cursive test
\end{document}

The corresponding file is Example2-fails(with_frcursive).pdf and I encounter the same error message as in my bug report.
