pdf export fails

plantuml version 2025.0

trying to gernerate a pdf export from any plantuml diagram leads to an error message and no pdf generated.

This used to work flawlessly for me in the past. I have not been using plantuml for quite some time - last I used version before this one was 2023.0 Replacing this with the 2025.0 gives the error. Putting 2023.0 back in place makes it work again.

Please advise on how to successfully export pdf.
Example:

<!--StartFragment-->@startuml diagram name

Bob -> AliceBlue

@enduml

<!--EndFragment-->results in

<!--StartFragment-->

Error found in diagram diagram name

Hello P.,

Thanks for the report.

Could you re-test with a last plantuml beta version (1.2025.1beta3+)?

Perhaps see similar or linked issues:

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

Tanks again Th
using the snapshot (dated  Feb 18th) does not show this error.
So I'll have to wait for the new release, I guess.

... Just realized v1.2025.1 has been released - I'll give that a try too
commented Feb 19 by Pstclz (120 points)

Th.
