news 28 Posted October 6, 2014 gscan2pdf - A GUI to produce a multipage PDF or DjVu from a scan. http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/ Only five clicks are required to scan several pages and then save all or a selection as a PDF or DjVu file, including metadata if required. gscan2pdf can control regular or sheet-fed (ADF) scanners with SANE via libsane-perl, scanimage or scanadf, and can scan multiple pages at once. It presents a thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple operations such as cropping, rotating and deleting pages. OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output embedded in the PDF or DjVu. PDF conversion is done by PDF::API2. The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file, or single page image file. * Fix support for tesseract 3.02, broken by commit ae76b3cf. * Changed 'save text' to extract plain text from hOCR output * + 'save hOCR', to save hOCR output, where available. * Fixed logic of automatic selection of blank or dark pages. * If an error occurs whilst opening a device, remove it from the device list and try the next, rather than giving up straight away. * Added text entry for date on save dialogs. Closes feature-requests #81 (option to manualy keyin date (or at least year) * Added device blacklist * Fixed add paper button. Closes bug #178 (unable to add geometries) * Increase maximum page number to 9999 Feature request 82 (Scanning documents that are 1000 pages or more) _______________________________________________ Share this post Link to post
