I want to clean up some facsimile copies I have of old music prints.
Ideally I'd like to scan them into Acrobat, then apply some filters,
and edit them slightly with an eraser. Ideally everything should be
done in the PDF format, to keep small file sizes and multi-page options.
Does anyone know of appropriate Mac softwar for this purpose? Has
anyone got experience with this?
There are plug-ins for Acrobat that can do this (straighten a page,
erase unwanted things, recenter, etc.). The problem is that they are
rather expensive. All depends on how much use you get out of them. The
hard way is to scan to Acrobat, then save as a graphic format you can
edit, edit the pages that need editing, and then select them all and
make a new PDF. I prefer to scan to Acrobat, even if I want to extract
graphic files. It's the most convenient format for storing stuff.

I generally prefer to do it the other way 'round - scan to .TIF or .PCX,
clean up, then 'print' to .PDF. It removes a couple of steps, and is a
touch easier. Of course, doing that depends a lot on what graphics
software you have.
