Gscan2PDF is a GUI App to scan and export PDF files. It eases the process of producing a multipage PDF from a scan. It works on almost any Linux/BSD machine and can produce PDFs or DjVus from scanned documents. It is simple to use the app. Simply scan one or several pages in with File/Scan and create PDF of selected pages with File/Save.
GScan2PDF 1.3.6 is the latest version o the GScan2PDF app. Gscan2PDF 1.3.6 has been released with the ollowing changes:
- Use simplified tesseract call for tesseract >= 3.02.02.
- Add completion for author, title, subject & keyword metadata
- Store the list of pages to be saved on hitting the save button, not waiting to choose the filename.
- Fixed progress text when importing files with multiple pages
- Some scanners activate paper-width and paper-height only for the ADF, and thus send “invalid argument” when setting the paper size for the flatbed. Trap this by also testing whether these options are active when setting the paper size.
- When scanning “all” pages, but only a finite number are possible, report this in the progress bar.
- Update list of available paper sizes after every option reload, as different sources (e.g. flatbed, ADF) support different geometries
- Update list of rpm dependencies in .spec files
- Update to Danish translation
- Update to French translation
- Update to Hebrew translation
