Resolution not set in PDF files

It seem the problem is now fixed after upgrading from

simple-scan (1.0.0-0ubuntu1) to 1.0.2-0ubuntu1

only checked the pdf A4 setting

Friday, April 16 2010

no, i can still reproduce this problem even with 1.0.2-0ubuntu1

i'll attach a PDF showing the problem.

one way to work around the problem is to change evince settings to scale the page.

maybe the reporter changed this evince setting and assumed the problem was fixed when it was only a changed evince setting.

the workaround is in evince, print->page handling->page scaling=shrink to printable area.

i think it's not an evince bug, i think the same problem occurs also with Acrobat Reader but I don't have it handy now, I'll check this file that I attached tomorrow at work.

The scale setting in Evince is not an issue here.

I think this bug that I reported is similar to Bug #559543

To illustrate, I have 1 page scanned using version 1.0.0-0ubuntu1

     file size = 839.4 KB (859527 bytes)

same page scanned with version 1.0.2-0ubuntu1

     file size = 67.3 KB (68912 bytes)

Bug was the image resolution was not being set for PDFs generate with ImageMagick.

so you're saying the bug is already fixed? can you tell me with which version of simple-scan or imagemagick, that i test it? because with the latest versions as of 12 hours ago when I uploaded this sample PDF, i could still reproduce the problem.

i see on http://bobthegnome.blogspot.com/2010/03/simple-scan-10.html that it was fixed in simple-scan 1.0.3.
i'll test quickly when I get this package. i don't see it yet in the lucid-changes mailing list:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2010-April/thread.html

thanks for the quick fix!

It's too late to make it for Lucid final so it will have to be a stable release update done after release...

Accepted simple-scan into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This bug was fixed in the package simple-scan - 1.0.3-0ubuntu1

Copied lucid-proposed to maverick.

Not fixed, for me.
I scan and save in pdf format and the preview in Evince is magnified, if i save in jpg format the image showed in image viewer is reduced at 14%, but if i enlarge to 100% is much greater then the pdf image opened in Evince.
Printing autoadapt at page size.

Opened new bug 575695 evince 2.30.1 don't apear in applications menu, but is present in 'open with other application' window.

the new comment seems to be a different issue than the one the change should adress no?

This was a problem with me for the current lucid build - scanned A4 documents did not print correctly on A4 paper. I have installed simple-scan v1.0.3 from the i386 build of 1.0.3-0ubuntu1 and this works fine. Thanks!

I have exactly this same bug in the current version 2.31.4 for Lucid from this pp. Did it come back? Backing down to 1.03 until it's fixed.

lets discuss the problems in current versions 2.3*.* in Bug #570782
