@j1simon your instructions worked nicely thank you. Just to note that first I had to move the old /opt/master-pdf-editor-5 etc files out of the way.

@zwastik I have edited the PKGBUILD
This is all that should not be done but since the developers of this program do not do what they have to do, we (the users) have to do these dirty things in order to use their program.

First uninstall current masterpdfeditor-libs.
Download the new one with name PKGBUILD to a new folder and execute makepkg -sci in that folder.

From now on whoever has problems with this PKGBUILD should fix it himself or make a comment on the github page, not here.

This was supposed to be a temporary solution but it's been 5 months (maybe more) and it's still the same... In these cases I believe that the best solution is for users to move from companies of this type and look for other alternatives (which there are).

Thanks for taking care of this package :)

Thank you, it's always good to have statements directly from the devs.

My personal view is that the purpose of an AUR package is to ease installation of material provided by upstram. It should not break the system for sure but I applied the patch below and after that, all I had to do is " -S masterpdfeditor". That exactly matched my expectations. I'm happy that some folk look close and rant that it's not the way it shall me and perfect if the dev agrees and sets out to fix in in future releases. Thank you all!

On behalf of Code Industry as we already replied in numerous emails, we don't consider package with Qt binaries a permanent solution. This is a temporary fix.

At the moment we work hard on the next version. In order not to rush it, we've made -all package as a workaround until the next release, so we have enough time to provide certain level of quality.

Some of our answers in email could have been misleading, sorry for that.

Someone create a new package with the working version and mark this as out to date until the dev wants to work about QT packages (who will never be the case)

It's the best to do to get a nice OOB experience

Thank you @j1simon the build went smoothly and MasterPdfEditor works :-)

In any case, this is the PKGBUILD to create the package with libraries included: https://gist.github.com/simonbcn/57865e7790bd2734110c9ec6766f5828

Download it, with name PKGBUILD, to a new folder and execute makepkg -si in that folder.

@nursoda What this company deserves is that we don't use their program.
Instead of fixing what they have to fix and releasing a new version (this error was detected months ago and it was caused by a misuse of the Qt API), they release a version with the Qt libraries and with that they consider that it is fixed.
I will not be the one to renew the program's license after this behavior.
