Thanks a lot

You are using an unpatched version of PyPDF instead of the version that is bundled with calibre

Hello,
Thanks for the infos
And how can i use the PyPDF of Calibre ?
I install Calibre from the Ubuntu repository.

Thanks

[kovidgoyal]

Use the binary installer instead of the ubuntu version
