Thanks for the script. It does work on 14.04 as well.

I had a problem with a line

echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

which added the text to the last line in .bashrc file, where already was some other export command. Therefore, PATH was broken. It would be better to use printf:

printf "\n export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$s" "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" >> ~/.bashrc

After install and complain : Image format not supported jpg ?

On Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64 (Digital ocean droplet) I got Error: Cannot open the manifest file when I use Pdf2HtmlEX... any workaround ?

I used these commands to run my pdf2htmlEX and now its not even converting my pdfs to html format, it keeps on saying core dump (Segmentation fault) what went wrong? How can I revert back to my homebrew changes i.e. https://github.com/fmalina/transcript .
PS: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

I was able to run this script on Ubuntu 16.04 successfully without any errors (although there were a lot of warnings). After the installation I ran the following command :
pdf2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 test.pdf as given in the Quick Start Guide.

But I am getting the following error :
Preprocessing: 38/38 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Is there anything that has to be done after running the script?
