Hello:
I would like to scan some documents and save them as pdf files (1 file/page is OK). I'd like to use xsane copy function for this. xsane has a direct save to pdf option but the resulted pdf files are very big.
It depends on the resolution - I usually scan with xsane, save as jpeg, reduce resoilution with imagemagick, then convert to pdf with ditto.
But for copy function a literal command can be given, and xsane forwards the scanned data to the command. I thought that I could use i gs command which compresses the scanned image and saves it as pdf file, but I don't know how to use gs.
I don't think you'll get gs to compress the image. Just a hunch. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
