Can't View PDF Files

pjmpjm · 03-11-2016, 09:33 PM

Since the last Calibre update, I'm getting the following error message when trying to view pdf files. Any ideas?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\view.py", line 231, in view_book
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\view.py", line 310, in _view_books

Check your (they sometime glitch during updates)
Preferences: Behavior: Use internal Viewer: (I remove the tic for PDF so it uses the system viewer, Adobe Reader)

This assumes you have a system PDF viewer

Thanks, theducks. Yes, I was always using Sumatra to view pdf files with Calibre. Unfortunately, choosing the 'Behavior' option is giving me exactly the same error message. Am presently doing a 'repair' . . .
