Re: [Trisquel-users] common problem with scanners

pdfjam worked!  Well, I'm not surprised that it works.  I am a little  
surprised that I got it to work.


I did a test run on a bunch of pdf files following the directions in Example  
6.  I ran into a hurdle; the newly letter-sized pages all output as a single  
pdf.


Then I remembered that you said to do it as a batch.  Example 1 shows how to  
do batches.  I added --batch right after the pdfjam instruction like  
this:


pdfjam --batch /home/muhammed/Desktop/testfolder/*.pdf --trim '0cm 7.62cm 0cm  
0cm' --clip true --outfile /home/muhammed/Desktop/output/

My scanner isn't listening to Simple Scan's preference settings. It's the  
same for the few other scanners that I have tried.


I'll try pdfjam.  I found some instructions for pdfjam's trim command  
(Example 6 on the page below).

ImageMagick can trim non-pdf images only right?  Like png, jpg, etc?

Thanks MB
