[Perkin]

Thanks chaley.

look forward to new beta.

I've noticed another problem, converting a pdf with some settings throws an error, but with others full converts the same pdf

Whereas, the 'normal' calibre, converted the file with either settings.

This is the log of settings throwing the error
