Issue:
Filemanager can't open common PDF Files. The open button is greyed and "broken" is displayed:
An "Interpreter crashed Signal 4" error might also be shown.
Problem:
APPE uses CPU SSE4.2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions version 4.2)
You can check it by using Terminal and entering:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags
This is what you would expect to see:
Here's a problematic setup (CPU too old)
Solution:
- Downgrade to a previous version of the Adobe PDF Print Engine (V13.0 or older)
-
Use the Terminal to type the following (this will create an empty text file):
touch /opt/caldera/lib/shared/MonzaSetup/open-all-with-appe4
- And then restart CalderaRIP.
Notes
With V13.1 and newer, the issue is also related to PDFL. The only solution is to get a newer PC with a processor supporting sse4.2
See: http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-030123.htm
Command-line to check on Linux :
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep sse4_2
Command-line to check on Mac :
sysctl hw.optional.sse4_2
