Calibre pdf-to-lrf Problem
Hej!
First I must say I love calibre really my (new and shiny) 505sc would be a lot poorer without it. So thank you kovidgoyal. I have updated calibre to the new version 0.4.84 but since then i am having pdf conversion problems here is the latest error message which I hope you will help me overcome it. Quote:

PDF to LRF error
I also have an error converting from PDF to LRF
I am using v0.4.85 Code:
Log: ('ConversionError', u'calibre_0.4.85_sjri2f.pdf does not allow copying of text.') Traceback (most recent call last): File "parallel.py", line 915, in worker File "parallel.py", line 873, in work File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\any\convert_from.py", line 173, in main File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\any\convert_from.py", line 143, in process_file File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\pdf\convert_from.py", line 93, in process_file File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\pdf\convert_from.py", line 56, in generate_html ConversionError: calibre_0.4.85_sjri2f.pdf does not allow copying of text. |

That PDF has copy protection enabled, which calibre respects.

Can you be more specific about the copy protection?
I specifically edited the PDF with Acrobat and removed all security before trying to convert it. Is there some other copy protection that can be active on a PDF file? Thanks for the quick reply BTW |

It appears to have its no-copying bit set. i.e. the creator of the PDF file doesn't want it to be format shifted. I dont think you can remove that restriction in acrobat.

That is very strange... When I open the PDF in Acrobat it says there is no security:

I suggest converting the file to HTML in adobe acrobat and the converting the resulting HTML to LRF.
