Developing and Building
If you want to hack on and build PDF Tricks yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:
- libgtk-3-dev
- libgranite-dev
- meson
- valac
- ghostscript
Run meson build to configure the build environment and run ninja test to build and run automated tests
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja test
To install, use ninja install, then execute with com.github.muriloventuroso.pdftricks
sudo ninja install
com.github.muriloventuroso.pdftricks
ImageMagick
In recent versions of ImageMagick has been added a security policy that blocks manipulations in PDF files. This affects PDFTricks operations. To correct this change the settings of your ImageMagick installation.
Find and edit the configuration file.
/etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml
To check the ImageMagick version:
convert --version
Find the line that contains the rule for PDF files:
<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />
And change to:
And ready!
