Error when I try to "Print to PDF File"
When I try to "Print to PDF File" from the Calibre internal viewer, I get this error:
Code:
calibre, version 2.27.0 ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>UnicodeDecodeError</b>:'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb9 in position 11: invalid start byte calibre 2.27 [64bit] isfrozen: True is64bit: True Windows-8-6.2.9200 Windows ('64bit', 'WindowsPE') ('Windows', '8', '6.2.9200') Python 2.7.9 Windows: ('8', '6.2.9200', '', 'Multiprocessor Free') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\viewer\main.py", line 312, in print_book File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\viewer\printing.py", line 182, in print_book File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\viewer\printing.py", line 30, in __init__ File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\widgets2.py", line 157, in __init__ File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\viewer\printing.py", line 37, in setup_ui File "ntpath.py", line 310, in expanduser UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb9 in position 11: invalid start byte I can read the ebooks files, but I just can't use the "Print to PDF file" function. The ebooks themselves aren't the issue because this happens with all formats (AZW3, MOBI, EPUB) and I've had success using the same "Print to PDF file" function on them on a different computer. This seems to be an issue with my computer and my particular installation of Calibre. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Calibre multiple times. I even used Revo Uninstaller to do a complete uninstall. The same issue persists, which is very frustrating. |

Thank you!
I figured out the issue (the zip file was read only, hah).
The printing works perfectly now. Thanks a lot for your help! |
