was this ever resolved? I'm evaluating scanning programs for linux and xsane comes highly recommended, but a typical color scan of a test document I'm using generated a huge 17440k pdf vs. a 824k from simple-scan and visually I am not seeing any difference. The grayscale scan was 5596k and seems to suffer from some kind of aliasing issue around letters that are on a diagonal, which doesn't happen with simple-scan and results in a much smaller (b&w though) 280k document, albeit with its own issues since it is b&w vs gray. All scans were done at 300dpi.
I've been trying to figure out why xsane generates such massive pdfs and ended up here, is the bug still relevant? Seems very old. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75384 Title: xsane PDF file sizes could be optimized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/75384/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
