this is the code I'm trying to run in ubuntu 22

from spire.pdf.common import *
from spire.pdf import *

# Create a PdfDocument object
doc = PdfDocument()

# Initialize a variable to store the extracted text
all_text = ""

# Load a PDF document
doc.LoadFromFile(r"file_name")

# Loop through each page in the PDF using index
for page_number in range(doc.Pages.Count):
# Get the page using the index
page = doc.Pages[page_number]

# Create a PdfTextExtractor object for the current page
textExtractor = PdfTextExtractor(page)

# Create a PdfTextExtractOptions object
extractOptions = PdfTextExtractOptions()

# Set IsExtractAllText to True
extractOptions.IsExtractAllText = True

# Extract text from the page keeping white spaces
text = textExtractor.ExtractText(extractOptions)

# Append the extracted text to all_text
all_text += text + "\n" # Add a newline to separate pages

# Optionally print the text from each file
print(all_text)

this is the error encountered on using spire-pdf version 10.8.1: ffi_prep_cif_var failed
