Package: gscan2pdf Version: 0.9.24-1 Severity: normal -rw-r--r-- 1 jeff jeff 840424 2008-06-13 09:12 july.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 jeff jeff 3758009 2008-06-13 08:57 july-vacation-request.pdf
These are both 1-page PDFs, using the same piece of paper, and the same scan settings. The first was scanned using xsane to PNM, and converted with the following command line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/timeoff$ pnmtops < july.pnm | ps2pdf14 - july.pdf The second was generated with gscan2pdf, using mostly default processing settings; I did turn off OCR, since I don't need it here. The PNM file generated from the scan was smaller than the resulting PDF file from gscan2pdf. And the manually converted scan doesn't have the benefit of processing with unpaper, so it has the paper borders, little spots, etc. Otherwise, the appearance of the two scans is not discernably different. I'm sure there are settings I could have chosen that would duplicate the results I got manually. Those setting should be the default. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gscan2pdf depends on: ii imagemagick 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2+b2 image manipulation programs ii libconfig-general-p 2.38-1 Generic Configuration Module ii libgtk2-ex-simple-l 0.50-1.1 A simple interface to Gtk2's compl ii libgtk2-imageview-p 0.04-1+b1 Perl bindings for the GtkImageView ii liblocale-gettext-p 1.05-4 Using libc functions for internati ii libpdf-api2-perl 0.69-2 create or modify PDF documents in ii librsvg2-common 2.22.2-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsane 1.0.19-10 API library for scanners ii libtiff-tools 3.8.2-8 TIFF manipulation and conversion t ii perlmagick 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2+b2 Perl interface to the libMagick gr ii sane-utils 1.0.19-10 API library for scanners -- utilit Versions of packages gscan2pdf recommends: ii djvulibre-bin 3.5.20-6 Utilities for the DjVu image forma ii gocr 0.41-1+b1 A command line OCR ii libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl 0.17-2 Perl Gtk2 widget for displaying Pl ii sane 1.0.14-6 scanner graphical frontends ii tesseract-ocr 2.03-1 Command line OCR tool ii unpaper 0.3-1 post-processing tool for scanned p ii xdg-utils 1.0.2-4 desktop integration utilities from -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
