Bug#614191: gscan2pdf Bug #538233

2011-05-26 Thread Frank Becker
Hi Jeffrey,

after some updates in Squeeze and after switching my desktop-environment
to xfce gscan2pdf works fine. You can close that bugreport.

Thanks again for your work and best wishes from Germany.

 Unfortunately there's no change. I tried several frontends (scanimage,
 scanimage-perl and libsane-perl).

Can you create a PDF by importing an image (or an old PDF)?

 What do you mean with different frontend?

Edit/Preferences gives you various options for the frontend - the
interface between the scanner and gscan2pdf.

 The logfile and the appropriate pdf-file is attached.

There are no errors in the log file (unlike the previous one). The PDF
is not completely blank - there is some noise at the bottom. Did you
scan a blank sheet of paper?

Regards

Jeff

Severity: normal

Hi Frank,

 first of all I want to thank you for your gscan2pdf. It did a good work for
 me for the time I used it under Debian Lenny. Recently I upgraded to Debian
 Squeeze. And the bug #538233 becomes reality to me. I beg you pardon that I
 not use the Debian Bugtracking System but I really don't know what to do
 with that.

Adding information to the bug is as simple as sending email to the
bugs address (in this case 538...@bugs.debian.org). However, looking
at your log file, I think you have a different problem. Therefore I am
opening a new bug to record the problem

 I cannot understand what has happened. I good software which worked great is
 now unusable for me. I'm user, not a programmer so I don't really understand
 your communication with Robert Kawecki. But it looks to me that it came to
 nothing.

Please describe the problem in detail:

1. What happens.
2. What would you expect to happen?

Regards

Jeff

Bug#614191: gscan2pdf Bug #538233

2011-02-20 Thread Frank Becker

Now I describe the bug:

gscan2pdf works as usual at first. I scan a document, the scanned images  
are shown and tesseract ocr does it job.


Saving the document as a pdf-file produces a file with only white pages.  
The number of pages is correct. With okular / xpdf only white pages are  
shown, Adobe Reader complains about a problem opening that file.


I tried to scan the document to some images (tiff) and import them to  
gscan2pdf with the same result as described above.



I tried to export the document as a postscript-file. But only the first  
page is exported and the ocr-informations are lost.


Please can you help me to solve that problem? A functional ocr-solution is  
really important for me.I know how to extract the text with tesseract but  
I don't know how to include the recognized text into the pdf-file. Are  
there any hints for that?



Best regards and many thanks for you work

Frank Becker

Please try scanning with a different frontend - are you then able to
save to PDF?

Also, please try the version of gscan2pdf in sid: the logging system
is improved. Please install it, start gscan2pdf with

$ gscan2pdf --log=logfile

reproduce the problem (one page is sufficient), and post the logfile.

There is hocr2pdf, but as the version of tesseract in squeeze does not
output hocr, you would have to switch to ocropus or cuneiform.
