[Python-apps-team] Bug#976591: pdfarranger: PDF file will not be displayed in preview correctly and save of altered PDF not possible

[Erik Schanze]

Package: pdfarranger
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I opened the PDF (attached) and got no preview of pages.

On console I found messages like:
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
'could not find foreign type Context'

After deleting first page I try to save the remaining in differen file, but failed.
On console I found messages like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.py", line 547, in choose_export_pdf_name
    self.save(only_selected, file_out)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.py", line 579, in save
    self.export_to_file(file_out, only_selected)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.py", line 603, in export_to_file
    'File export failed.') % pdfdoc.filename
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'

Could you please fix this or give a hint how I could solve it here?


Best regards,
Erik
