Plugin works with epub and pdf converted to epub. But I have very little epub and conversion is not the best option. I have a standard defender. Disabling it did not affect the error.

This is the first time I use the plugin and calibre.

OK, that clears up that the plugin works and it isn't a more general problem. The code that does the text extraction from the PDF is fairly old and there may be a better way to do it now. Though I cannot see a reason why it works for me, but, not you.

Not that I know of. I'm not sure how many people actually use this plugin. Personally, I download metadata for my books, and that can get the ISBN if one is available. Otherwise, I don't worry about it.

If the metadata download doesn't work, the brute force method would be to convert it to epub, run the plugin and then delete the epubs. That should work, but will take time.

I do plan to have a look at it, but, I don't know when. As it is a plugin I don't used, it isn't a high priority for me. If there is someone else who wants to look...

You should stop using an IP address and use a local library. Maybe the IP address sis causing your problems.

I'd love to know why you think that. Especially as @Ppaa has demonstrated the problem with a book in a library on the local disk.

I think it is going to fail for all of you PDFs. Unless the 5.1.1 beta solves it, it is going to have to wait until I have some time to look at it. Or someone else interested in it steps in.

I tried it with the idea of "taking a look at it". It doesn't fail on V5.1 (portable) or V5.1.1 (64 bit). It successfully found the ISBN in the PDF.

I haven't been able to get it to fail on any version. That makes it hard to debug. I did follow the code down and I can see there is a difference in how pdftohtml is used compared to how it is used when doing a conversion. But, that might just be coding style or because the desired results are different. I haven't had a chance to study it. Or a lot of desire to.

extractin ISBN(eBook)
Hi, I would be grateful for an advise regarding extract ISBN. The problem, plugin extract ISBN from ISBN xxxxxxx (from the book).Using this ISBN, metadata downloader cannot find the book. If I manually insert ISBN xxxxxxxxx (ebook) or eISBN from the book, metadata find it with no problem. I have many books where are 2 ISBNs, ISBN and ISBN(ebook). Is there any way to modify the plugin to read ISBN(ebook)number instaed of just the ISBNnumber? THanks in advance.

PDF and "Exception when scanning for ISBN: not all arguments converted..."
Same error message here, so I played around with the plugin code.

As I found out, this message is just the tip of the iceberg.

To avoid this error message, the line
log.error('Exception when scanning for ISBN:', e)
in extract_threaded() in jobs.py should be changed to
log.error('Exception when scanning for ISBN: {}: {}'.format(type(e).__name__, e))
or
log.error(e.__traceback__)
or similar to avoid the formatting error message.

Next I came across:

Starting job: Extract ISBN for 1 books

Failed to run pdfinfo/pdftohtml
Error in jobs.py:
Exception when scanning for ISBN:

Failed to extract ISBN
================================================== =
Scan complete, with 1 failures


So in pdf.py immediately after def get_isbn(output_dir, pdf_name, log=None): I added the line
scanner = BookScanner(log)

The next step was:

Starting job: Extract ISBN for 1 books

The scan failed to find an isbn in 0.64 secs
Failed to extract ISBN
================================================== =

The error message pdfinfo returned no UTF-8 data comes from get_page_count() in pdf.py

In this method, the line
raw = raw.decode('utf-8')
should be made fault tolerant:
raw = raw.decode('utf-8', error='replace')

With these changes, ISBN extraction for PDF files is now running smoothly for me!

That isn't strictly a problem of this plugin. The plugin searches for an ISBN, if it finds one, it uses it. If that ISBN does not exist in the metadata source you are using, that is more a problem of the metadata source. Or that the ISBN found was (for want of a better term) a false positive.

Of course, it could be done. But, the plugin just uses regex to find the possibilities and then validates what was found. Adding more checks would complicate that search. But, it isn't something I am interested in doing. I don't use the plugin, and only made changes to fix it for calibre 5. If anyone wants to add this, please do so.

How about an option to use the last ISBN found instead of the first? ebook ISBNs seem to be listed last pretty frequently and those are the ones I prefer.

Thanks.
