Thanks, this is really useful. (and shame on me for not RTFM'ing a bit more first) That document mentions to make sure the orientation/skew is straight, but does not give any hints on how to actually do this in an automated fashion. Any tips?
You can use imagemagick's "convert" utility to deskew images. For example:
convert <skewed_image> -deskew 40 <deskewed_image>
It works pretty well for text-only images. Embedded images within the text tend to mess it up, though.
