@gunnarhj, My own builds for sane-airscan exist for Ubuntu starting from the version 16.04, so I think that technically "backporting" is a trivial task.
Regarding PDF, I purposely trade it off in a favor of lower memory footprint. PDF decompression requires allocation of а full-size buffer for the decompressed image (~1/2Gb for Color A4 at 1200 DPI!), which I'm trying to avoid. I will reconsider my opinion regarding PDF support, if there are really some devices in existence that cannot scan without it. But so far I'm not convinced that such devices exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891682 Title: [MIR] sane-airscan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-airscan/+bug/1891682/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
