Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
Based on the information provided, I have not been able to replicate the issue you mentioned during testing. Please confirm whether the installation of Spire.Pdf through PIP (pip install Spire.Pdf) was successful. Additionally, kindly check your Python directory's Lib folder to ensure the presence of the 'spire' and 'pdf' folders as depicted in the screenshot.

Yes the pip installation was successful and the directory is as described.
This happens on windows as well as linux.
the __init__.py in the spire folder always shows 0 kb as the file size though even after reinstallation.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the information.
After conducting an investigation, I have found that the cause of the program error is the filename of your Python file, "spire.py." I have logged the issue into our bug tracking system with the ticket number SPIREPDF-6403. Our development team will investigate and fix it. Once it is resolved, I will inform you in time. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Additionally, during my testing, I discovered that changing the Python file name to something else, such as "Test.py" resolved the issue. Therefore, I recommend that you first modify the Python file name and then test it again.

yes it works if I rename the file.
In fact if spire is even included as a part of the filename it gives this error, like spireExtract.py

This issue persists for me using Spire.PDF 12.6.2 on Python 3.11.6 running on Fedora Linux.
I installed Spire.PDF successfully using the command

pip install spire-pdf

.
However when I run a Python script containing code such as

from spire.pdf import *

I get an error message

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spire'

.
I have tried downloading and installing the .whl file directly and also installing an earlier version of Spire.PDF - the outcome is the same each time.
I can't find any file named spire.py - was that a project file created by the original poster rather than part of the package/module installation?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Could you please confirm if the GLIBC version in your Fedora Linux system is 2.34 or higher? If your system does not support glibc 2.34 or above, we recommend deploying via a container.

Thanks for the swift response! However the mistake was mine: I am using PyCharm, which uses packages installed in a virtual environment, rather than system-wide installed ones. My test script works fine with spire.PDF whn run from the command line.

Please close this issue, or preferably delete it - unless it may be of use to others, though Spire is incidental to the root cause.
