Uploading PDFs to Tropy

Hi,

Is it possible to upload PDFs to Tropy? I have the latest version but it won’t let me upload PDFs (every time I try it crashes).

Thanks!

Hi,

yes Tropy supports PDFs and should definitely not crash. To help us debug the issue, could you post your log file here? You can find the tropy.log file by opening Tropy and selecting Help > Show Log Files. Import a PDF that lets Tropy crash and then post the log file here (without restarting Tropy in the meanwhile).

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for looking into this! Here is the log that came up after it crashed:

Update: I was able to import the PDF! I didn’t realize that it was open on my computer when I was trying to import it but once I closed the PDF it imported just fine.

Thanks for the update — good to hear that you already figured it out yourself.
