Hi,

is it possible to run cups-pdf as any user other than root? E.g. a user belonging to the group root.
I am trying to run cups and cups-pdf on OpenShift which uses arbitrary user ids and does not allow running images as root:

Hi,

I had the patch running (manually) on Arch since a few years. But somehow, this stopped working at some point. I again get garbled text when selecting text from a cups-pdf generated pdf.

Also using your GIT directly does not help. What do I do?

yay -S cups-pdf-to-pdf-git (cf. here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cups-pdf-to-pdf-git)

sudo systemctl restart cups

Go to localhost:631, remove the old cups-pdf printer, add the new one using one of CUPS-PDF with or without options, install it, select it as default printer

do echo 'mama' | lp as user, open the PDF in a reader, select the text, paste it somewhere: it is not mama, but unicode character replacements.

Any hint? Thanks in advance!

PS: Sorry for double posting this here and on the AUR site.

Hi
We have installed CUPS-PDF version cups-pdf-3.0.1-lp152.3.5.x86_64 and confirm the on our SUSE Linux servers. Printing to PDF files is working however, when the print job has multiple files the print job is not working. Need assistance to fix this issue.

Thanks

Hi, I have a problem reported already to wine and ghostscript, but maybe you have an idea, too:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42739
https://sourceforge.net/p/ghostscript/discussion/5452/thread/44e4abf6/

It is a showstopper for creating text searchable pdfs from within wine from random docx/msg documents.

Thanks for any hint!

Hi,
Is there no installer for that version? I am not expert enough to compile etc.

The bug was detected via svace1 static analyzer scanning.

The handle 'fpdest' is created at

Do we need (void) fclose(fpdest); before return?
