Hi Luis,

Is this issue also present in stretch's released
calibre_2.75.1+dfsg-1, and if so, is it also present in the Calibre
version in stretch-backports?

Are the files local or is this a remote share (SSH/SFTP/SAMBA/etc)?

Presumably the files open successfully in the default PDF viewer?
Which PDF viewer?

So this issue is specific to PDFs?  Do ebooks in epub, mobi, etc. open
successfully in Calibre (or calibre-viewer) when clicking on them in
Nautilus or Thunar?

What happens when you drag and drop a PDF into the middle library pane
of the Calibre window?


Thanks for the bug report,
Nicholas
