Hello,
Is anyone here using "stapler-git" from the AUR? I'm trying to use it to combine two pdf files into one and it's not working for me.
When using the command "stapler cat 1.pdf 2.pdf output.pdf" it just returns the message "error".
Could someone try this to see if it works ok?
Thanks Tried, but couldm't reproduce your error. Any error message differente
2012/8/25 Randy <gumper1034@gmail.com>: than 'error'? I suggest contacting the maintainer, in this package's comments.
p.s.: fyi, issues related to AUR packages should be sent to aur-general, instead of arch-general.

Actually I think I just figured it out. If I try the same command on two other PDFs then it works just fine. I think there's an issue with one of the PDFs that it's not 100% Adobe pdf compliant. When I try to convert the same bad file using ghostscript it works but it tells me the following: **** Warning: File has an invalid xref entry: 2. Rebuilding xref table. **** Warning: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL. **** Warning: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL. **** Warning: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL. **** Warning: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL. **** Warning: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL. **** Warning: stream operator isn't terminated by valid EOL. **** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored. **** The file was produced by: **** >>>> <<<< **** Please notify the author of the software that produced this **** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF **** specification. Thanks for taking the time to help! Randy
