problem with Calibre 1.1.0

goranh · 08-31-2013, 02:46 AM

Hello!
I recently installed a program caliber-1.1.0 and trying to use it to convert pdf to epub format books. It fails for now, and maybe some of us here can help you quickly solve a problem. When I start the conversion program we throw Grška following:

caliber 1.1 isfrozen True is64bit: False
Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 Windows ('32bit ',' WindowsPE ')
('Windows', '7 ', '6 .1.7601')
Python 2.7.4
Windows: ('7 ', '6 .1.7601', 'SP1', 'Multiprocessor Free')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages \ caliber \ gui2 \ convert \ single.py", line 278, in accept
File "site-packages \ caliber \ gui2 \ convert \ metadata.py", line 236, in commit

Error: (123, 'CreateFile', 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.')

One quick thing to test is to see if it works if filenames, paths and disk volume labels all use only ascii characters. No accented characters at all anywhere.

Also please don't double post threads....

Part of the problem is probably due to the fact that PDF files don't always convert well in most programs. PDF to Epub is fairly good at such conversions.

PDF to Epub

They have promotions during which time the software is offered for free.

calibre-64bit-1.2.0.
This enhanced version with updates solved all my previous problems I had with the older versions.
