v26.827.1
Fixes a first run that could never get past the database step.
What was wrong
The app copies a handful of files out of itself into your application-support folder on first launch — among them the Docker configuration that describes the database. That copy was happening after the step that reads it, so a first run asked Docker to open a file nothing had written yet:
open …/Library/Application Support/pdf2audio/docker-compose.yml: no such file or directory
Anyone whose folder already had that file — which is to say, the machine it was built on — never saw it. A first install always did.
If you hit this
Install this version over the old one and open it. Nothing to clean up.
Thanks to @si3792, who found this and the download timeout in v26.827.0 within ten minutes of each other, both by pressing the Report button.
Turns PDFs and EPUBs into audiobooks you can read along with, on your own machine. Apple Silicon Macs only. Download pdf2audio-26.827.1-arm64.dmg below.
First time opening it: this build is not signed with an Apple certificate, so macOS refuses it once. Drag it to Applications, double-click, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway. If that button is not there, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pdf2audio.app in Terminal.
You also need Docker — Docker Desktop or OrbStack, installed and running.
First launch downloads about 2.4 GB and takes a while; later ones take seconds.
