Neither Linux nor Microsoft recipients of PDF documents I have created with Libre Office (File > Export as PDF...) have experienced difficulties viewing the files. You can scan images an then insert them into your document (Insert > Picture > File) or you may scan the image directly to the document with (Insert > Picture > Scan). Then export the document as PDF. ----- Original Message ----- Tethys wrote: > On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 5:05 PM, JOYCE POLZIN <foxec208@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Is there an application other than gscan2pdf (which doesn't work) > > You don't need a standalone application.

I have friends who import them into office and write pdf from that. Haven't found anything I like for OCR, unfortunately, so things can be edited properly. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
