Hello,
Hi.
I have been trying to run Pdfedit on my Windows XP machine and find I
can't. I opened it OK from the bash shell and then opened a PDF file.
After that, I noticed an error message in my Bash window:
bash-3.2$ pdfedit
2:KERNEL:xrefwriter.cc:cloneRevision:779:
Is this message complete? It seems that real message is missing because
this is common prefix for all messages (the real one should appear after
779).
The error didn't seem to interfere with anything, though. I then
deleted some text from the file and saved a copy. After saving, I
looked at the copy and noticed that, although its modified date seemed
to be updated (I think), it was unchanged. Then I tried to close the
window in PDFedit (from the PDFedit menu). At that point, I saw
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)" on the Bash menu.
Have you used Save copy for saving? This may be little tricky, because
intention of Save copy function is to create snapshot of the selected
revision
(see http://pdfedit.petricek.net/pdfedit.user_doc#id2503951 in user
documentation
for more information). In short save copy doesn't include changes from the
newest revision. If you need to save changes, use either Save or Save new
revision. If you don't know what is a revision in the pdf format see PDF
format specification
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/tech/pdf/specifications.jsp
chapter 3.4.5 Incremental update.
* Use Save copy when you want to change some older revision and you don't
mind, that copy doesn't contain all the newer revisions (including changes
of the newest one).
* Use Save when you want to save current state and you don't want to create
new
revision yet (partial saves). You can use them as often as you need and
they
will form a new revision at the end.
* Use Save new revision if you have made some changes and it makes sense
or you explicitly want to bundle them in one revision. All changes made
afterwards are stored in separate revision.
Note that if you finish working and close the document, new revision is
always
created if there are saved changes in document. Editor never changes an
original content of a document, therefore you can get it in some other
revision.
I hope that it is not very confusing...
When talking about crashes, yes they happen, sometimes more sometimes
less often. Current version is still rather early and not very stable. If
you
encounter some problems fell free to add a note to our bug tracker
http://pdfedit.petricek.net/bt/main_page.php. We are rather in time
pressure now, but bug tracker doesn't forget, we do... Also if you find
pdf document which causes crashes, please add it to the report.
I am using PDFedit version 3.1. Perhaps I didn't install it right --
All I did was take the .exe file from the zipped file and moved it into
a ..../bin directory for convenience.
I am not sure what exact version of Cygwin I am using, but I
re-downloaded it today and the problem seems unchanged.
If you find out, it would be useful.
Best regards
