krisbee2000 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I had to scan in some articles into my computer and make them pdf files. Every time I scan in Kooka, and print through the cups/kprinter dialog to a .pdf file, the resulting file has garbled lines of gray in it (when looking in ghostview, xpdf shows them as white blank lines). If print to a .ps file, there is no problem, but when I print from the .ps file to the .pdf file, the same thing happens. If I scan in xsane, save as a .ps file, open the .ps file in kghostview, print with cups/kprinter to a .pdf file, there are no garbled artifacts at all. This of course is good that I can accomplish my goals, and I am starting to like xsane better anyway, but I would like to fix this error. Any ideas what the heck is going on? Thank you in advance, Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 No problems here with kooka, although I use it mainly as an OCR application (and I have to admit that OCR under Linux sucks badly...). Have you tried using OOo2 Draw? The scanner module is quite decent, and OOo2 can output complex documents directly to pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Works for me. I scan in Kooka, click the printer icon in Kooka, from the dropdown menu I select print tp pdf file and a few seconds later I get a pdf file with my scan. Try the convert to pfd from normal file (for example in kwrite). What happens then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
