Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 2.12.6-1
Severity: wishlist
When scanning documents, I basically end up with black-white images,
either because the scanner already provides line-drawing input, or
because of the threshold filter.
In this case, it would be fantastic if the white background could be
replaced with transparency. It renders the same as PDF, but the
benefit is that it's easy to later add a watermark to the PDF, which
is not possible if the background is non-transparent. Or well, then
you just can't see the watermark.
Thanks,
martin
