Python function terminated unexpectedly (Error code 1)

[lenno007]

I get this message when I try to convert a .PDF document to an EPUB format: "Python function terminated unexpectedly (Error code 1)". I am using Windows XP, SP3 and calibre 0.7.35.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Calibre but that did not work.

I tried installing an updated Python (but don't know if I installed it to the right directory). That did not work either.

I tried removing the calibre folder in my profile then re-opening calibre. That did not work either.

Please Help.

You can get a more useful debug output by running calibre in debug mode by clicking the pull down arrow next to preferences.

This is the log that is created when I run calibre in debut mode.

That error means the PDf file could not be converted, there cn be many reasons for that. You will have to find your document in a non pdf format to convert.
