Hi,
I am trying to run pdfviewer.py example but I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

return _int(s, base)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘458.33333’, while looking for faceName=‘YGNEGW+TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT’

I am using Ubuntu 12.4 TLS, wxpython 2.9.4.0, and pyPdf 1.13. Any idea ?

Thanks.

The pdf viewer doesn’t support embedded fonts when used with pyPdf, only the 14 standard fonts that are supported by pdf itself. I will try and fix the code so this error is handled more gracefully, but if you want to be able to view pdf files without any restrictions, use the mupdf library (via Python-fitz bindings)
