You provide 64-bit binaries for Linux which I don’t have, which is why I need to compile from source. It’s that easy.

And how can we trust your app if simply compiling it in rust just fails?

The 3rd try didn't work either, but for different reasons.

Normal processing worked OK, but had some white margins I wanted to crop.
Enabling "Crop margins" did cut the pages but cut part of the text too.
So, I let the margins and tried to make it all BW by disabling the "Layout detection".
That did make it BW, but also let almost half the pages blank.
When I used the "CCITT4" the blank pages were black, with "JBIG2" they were white.

Maybe it's not my lucky day..😁 I'll try again tomorrow.
Thanks for your efforts though..🙏

These are the issues I was just working on, when i noticed you had crop margins selected. with layout mode on it was finicky but I hadn't bothered with it. Now gpt 5.5 fixed it up and it works pretty good. new commit is up and new release is here -

Can try again when youre ready. Thank you for your motivation. Everything you described should be fixed, unless you are running into OOM issues somehow. But the program has been tested on a Windows sandbox with 4gb ram and integrated VRAM and it works fine there.

OK i didnt know 32bit binaries were needed by anyone. It should be compilable directly from a git clone now. I missed your message about rfd before, that is also a forked repo that wasn't included in the repo and now is.

For anyone reading from MacOS, it is compilable there too, you just need to get the pdfium binary from here

https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries

and put it next to the compiled binaries, and grab the other files from the Linux release distribution, then it should work in MacOS too. Let me know if it doesn't. It worked on a macbook in an earlier version just fine.

No 32-bit binaries needed, I use macOS but there were no binaries that work on Darwin.

Edit
To make it more clear, the existing 64-bit binaries don’t work on macOS.
