Error when converting from EPUB to PDF
Hello,
I get an error when converting from EPUB to PDF. I get this both when I convert from the GUI of Calibre and when I convert from the command line with "ebook-convert". From the command line interface I get the following error message: Creating PDF Output... 67% Creating PDF Output Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/pdf/writer.py", line 167, in _render_html self._render_book() File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/pdf/writer.py", line 148, in _render_book self._write() File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/ebooks/pdf/writer.py", line 196, in _write outPDF = PdfFileWriter(title=self.metadata.title, author=self.metadata.author) TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'title' Then the program writes a PDF file to the disk, but it can't be opened. I use Lubuntu 11.04 and Calibre 0.7.44 from the repositories. The conversion is on RSS recipes downloaded by Calibre. |

Do not use repository versions, use the official calibre binary.

Ubuntu calibre package is broken. Horribly broken. They ship calibre in a broken state routinely. There has never been a 100% fully working version of calibre packaged and shipped by Ubuntu.
