As you know, GScan2PDF is an app for scanning pages and exporting them to PDFs. The user can export scans one by one, in separate PDF files, or export scans all together, in one PDF.
The latest version available is Gscan2PDF 1.3.7, which has been recently released, coming with the below changes:
- Fixed check that pages have been saved
- Fixed scan->rotate->unpaper->OCR chaining (again). Closes:
- Filter out memory address from unpaper warning. Closes bug #205
- Ensure that process numbering is properly reinitialised when queue is empty.
- Fixed error importing PDF with more than 999 pages. However, this exposed the problem that each page is held as an open temporary file and that the system can run out of file handles somewhere after 1000.
