MacOS Troubleshooting
Adobe PDF Library .NET
Sometimes macOS has issues with Adobe PDF Library .NET. We blame the ghost of Steve Jobs. But fear not – you do not have to run to the Apple Store for a fix.
When using Visual Studio for Mac for development, if you experience the System.ApplicationException: Failed to initialize locale__, do the following:
- Go to the Visual Studio menu
- Select Preferences
- Scroll to the bottom of the Preferences dialog, under the Other section
- Select Terminal
- Uncheck Enable integrated terminal
- Press OK and try running the application again.
If the problem persists, roll your eyes, curse Steve Jobs one more time, and do the following:
- Go to the Project menu
- Select Properties
- Under the Run section, select Configurations
- Select your active Configuration
- Click the Add button and add the following variables and values:
LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8
LANG en_US.UTF-8
- Press OK and try running the application again
And if it still doesn’t work, contact us at evalsupport@datalogics.com. Scott has the Ouija board and will contact Steve directly.
