pdf-to-scan 0.0.3

A small script to make your pdfs seem like scanned

PDFtoScan

PDFtoScan uses the idea implemented in baicunko's website to make your PDFs look like they were scanned in a CLI-based app.

Installation

$ pip install pdf-to-scan

Dependencies

The script requires ghostscript and imagemagick to run. These can be installed using,

For Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
$ sudo apt-get install ghostscript

For macOS

$ brew install imagemagick
$ brew install ghostscript

PDF support in ImageMagick might be disabled be default on your os/distro. To fix this, comment out this line in /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />
