Bug ID: 508559
Summary: Exporting pages to an existing filename modifies the
pages in the existing PDF
Classification: Applications
Product: Skanpage
Version First 25.04.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When exporting scanned pages to a PDF, if the filename exists, then it appears
that Skanpage modifies the existing PDF, rather than overwrite it completely
and make a new one. It seems that if I scan one page and then export it to an
existing PDF, then the first page of the existing PDF is modified with the page
scanned by Skanpage and the rest of the pages are left intact.
What Skanpage should be doing is completely overwrite the existing PDF, and
probably also inform the user that the program will overwrite the file, rather
than modify it
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put a PDF with multiple pages somewhere. This PDF is to be overwritten by
Skanpage
2. Scan a page with skanpage
3. Export the document to the same filename as the existing PDF
OBSERVED RESULT
The existing PDF will have its first page overwritten by the scanned document.
The dimensions of the scanned document will be scaled to match the original
PDF's dimensions
EXPECTED RESULT
A completely new PDF with the scanned document replaces the old file, and pages
from the old file should not show up in the new PDF.
