baicunko / scanyourpdf Goto Github PK

Hi,

i love it. Thanks a lot.

But sometimes the quality is just too bad.
Please add the possibility to choose the quality in the gui. Higher DPI? Less blur?

Thanks a lot

Using your docker compose suggestion.

Should be false instead of true. And probably in a const. And it would be classy if you just put the two commands that are run in the README for people to see.

Cheers!

Although an A4 paper is white, by using a casual scanner (Office Lens) it will be a gray background. I know a good professional scanner can give a white background, but that is now when I upload a totally white background pdf it gives back a totally white one which is not real enough I guess

When using the software, sometimes a few of my docs get blank pages. This only happens with the Mac version. The website version works well.

I like your project (have found it on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23157408). It took me quite a bit time to dig throught the code to find the relevant lines in https://github.com/baicunko/scanyourpdf/blob/master/pdfwebsite/views.py

In order to basically use these two central lines (calling convert and gs), which form the algorithm, without all the django overhead, it would be nice to have a standalone version, either as python script (would be also simple to extend) or as shell script (would require to maintain several files, not so useful).

Compare probably with the CLI tools in https://gitlab.com/edouardklein/falsisign

Thank you for your project! This helps me a lot!
I did some improvement and re-write the logic in JavaScript and no backend is needed.

Love this tool, thanks for building it! I noticed that when I save a document as PDF and upload it, the text gets a weird background. Check out this original file and the processed version for example. Thanks for looking into this!
