gscan2pdf v2.10.0 released

gscan2pdf - A GUI to produce a multipage PDF or DjVu from a scan.

http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/

Five clicks are required to scan several pages and then save all or a selection as a PDF or DjVu file, including metadata if required.

gscan2pdf can control regular or sheet-fed (ADF) scanners with SANE via libimage-sane-perl, scanimage or scanadf, and can scan multiple pages at once. It presents a thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple operations such as cropping, rotating and deleting pages.

OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output embedded in the PDF or DjVu.

PDF conversion is done by PDF::API2.

The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file, or single page image file.

Changelog for 2.10.0:
* Switch from PDF::API2 to PDF::Builder to improve TIFF handling and compression options. Closes Debian bugs 602486 (heavily distored scans) and 703768 (parts of the page translated to the right, black border)
* Switch from internal image viewer to Gtk3::ImageView (based on internal image viewer)
* Update to German translation (thanks to Eugen Artus)
* Update to Ukrainian translation (thanks to Yuri Chornoivan)
