sed: -i may not be used with stdin

[rtyx]

Hi there! Getting this issue

Checking environment... Checking 512609936777170.pdf... 512609936777170.pdf is a PDF file... Uncompressing 512609936777170.pdf... Replacing '23/12/2019' with '10/08/2020' in 512609936777170.pdf... sed: -i may not be used with stdin Re-Compressing 512609936777170.pdf... Duration (h:m:s): 00:00:00, done

Any input on how to solve it?
Thank you.

You need to escape the "/" in the search date string, e.g. do this: '23\/12\/2019' (but not '10/08/2020').On 14/09/2020 13:22, Rafael Toledano Illán wrote:

Thanks for your fast response. Unfortunately I get the same result. I tried with different strings (without any weird character, so to say) and I always get sed: -i may not be used with stdin, and then an "unmodified" PDF file.

PDF does some rather strange things to strings that look like dates. There is no documentation for this phenomenon, and the way that PDF internally mangles date strings up is so indeterminate that there is not even a dirty work-around available.
