Sadly the pdfmod development is abandoned. Seems there have been changes in the .Net runtime breaking it.

I guess the optimal option would be to build a Flatpak using an older version of Mono but I don't have time for it :-/

Comment 2 Marcel Metz 2019-12-16 08:38:26 UTC
For me the same issue was fixed by installing `gnome-sharp` on Fedora 31.

pdfmod: pdfmod-0.9.1-21.fc31
gnome-sharp: gnome-sharp-2.24.2-23.fc31

Start log before installation of `gnome-sharp`:

$ pdfmod

installing gnome-sharp did the trick.bug resolved.thank you!

Comment 4 Ismael Olea 2019-12-17 13:35:43 UTC
Would you test this release, please? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=39688381

I don't have a system modern enough to verify it. Please uninstall pdfmod and all dependencies and install again using something like:

sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8387/39688387/pdfmod-0.9.1-22.fc31.x86_64.rpm

If it works as expected I'll push an update.

Comment 5 Marcel Metz 2019-12-17 13:47:29 UTC
Yes, the new package release works for me.

First I removed `pdfmod` and `gnome-sharp` via

$ sudo dnf remove gnome-sharp pdfmod

Then I installed the the `pdfmod` package only with the given command:

$ sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8387/39688387/pdfmod-0.9.1-22.fc31.x86_64.rpm

Finally starting up `pdfmod` shows the applaction window:

$ pdfmod 
[1 Debug 14:44:11.876] Starting PdfMod 0.9.1
[1 Debug 14:44:11.892] Initializing i18n catalog from /usr/share/locale/
[1 Debug 14:44:11.939] Loaded custom AccelMap from /home/adrian/.config/pdfmod/gtk_accel_map
[1 Debug 14:44:11.949] Cache directory set to /home/adrian/.cache/pdfmod
