Conversion problem EPUB/LRF to PDF

Thomas Jean · 07-21-2011, 10:24 AM

Hello,

I would have to convert some epub (or lrf) texts to pdf, as my Sony Reader only accepts ebooks in Hebrew when in the format pdf.

But when using Calibre 0.7.44 (with Ubuntu 11.04), I encounter the following bug :

"calibre, version 0.7.44
ERROR: Exception non gérée: <b>Exception</b>:Fichier de sortie vide, le processus de conversion a probablement cessé de fonctionner

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/__init__.py", line 241, in dispatch
self.func(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/actions/convert.py", line 170, in book_converted
raise Exception(_('Empty output file, '
Exception: Fichier de sortie vide, le processus de conversion a probablement cessé de fonctionner"

Could someone please help me out ?

Thanks a lot,

Thomas

You might like to reinstall Calibre from the official web site as opposed to through the Ubuntu repository. Go to http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux and follow the instructions.

This will at least make sure you are using the most current version of Calibre
