#274078 — asciidoctor-pdf

I am running Debian 11 and trying to run asciidoctor and
asciidoctor-pdf with no luck so far.

I run it with this bash script:

asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-pdf -b pdf \
  -a pdf-theme=binder \
  -a pdf-themesdir=./data/themes \
  -a document_name=”Raku Guide” \
  -o rakuguide-binder.pdf rakuguide-binder.adoc

and get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
9: from /usr/bin/asciidoctor-pdf:21:in `<main>'
8: from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/asciidoctor/cli/options.rb:193:in `parse!'

`block (2 levels) in parse!'
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/asciidoctor/cli/options.rb:87:in `encode':
"\\xE2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)

I have asked for help from the asciidoctor community but no response so far.

Anyone here running asciidoctor have any suggestions?

Thanks.

-Tom

This looks a bit as if the thing were receiving a character encoding it
doesn't expect.

FWIW, hex E2 would be "â" in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1, more precisely). I
don't know which kind of input asciidoctor needs (beyond ASCII, that
is).

What you can do is

 - find out whether it's specific characters in your input
  which trigger the problem

 - experiment with iconv (e.g. iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 < from > to)

Perhaps there's an option to asciidoctor to tell it what your file's
enccding is supposed to be.

Perhaps, also, your file is UTF-8 and asciidoctor guesses so,but there
are some "bad" sequences strewn in.

Tomas, you’re right. I’ll check their docs some more. They do mention
encoding, but I thought my defaults would take care  of it.

Thank you very much.

Please, no more responses until I get time to work on this. I’ll report
back in a few days.

Cheers!

In your case, I suggest making sure the pdf conforms to the pdf spec.
Try running qpdf on the pdf file:

    qpdf --check <pdf file>

And one more comment. According to <https://asciidoctor.org/>:

<SNIP>

If you’re using a non-English Windows environment, you may bump into
an Encoding::UndefinedConversionError when invoking Asciidoctor. To
solve this issue, we recommend overriding the default external and
internal character encodings to utf-8. You can do so by setting the
RUBYOPT environment variable as follows:

    RUBYOPT="-E utf-8:utf-8"

Once you make this change, all your Unicode headaches should be behind you.

If you’re using an IDE like Eclipse, make sure you set the encoding to
UTF-8 there as well. Asciidoctor is optimized to work with UTF-8 as
the default encoding.
</SNIP>
