I have a PDF that I'd like printed. However, the PDF is a scan, and when I went to the print shop they asked me for the equivalent of 20€, because the background is paper-coloured and they'd have to use toner to print *that* too.
Does anyone know of a way to fix that and get a white background for a PDF? Preferably in Linux, although if there's no way to do it here I do have a laptop with Windows on it.
@hazelnot Scan Tailor Advanced seems to be the most recently updated fork, but realistically even the original unmaintained one will be fine if it's packaged for your system. Even 6 years ago this thing felt like future tech :p
@joepie91 Yeah it didn't work though, it refused to let me import it. I think there was some kind of security thing built into the PDF.
On the other hand my dad just... did it. Manually. Page by page. Not sure how, I think he used some Adobe stuff cause he's on Windows. He bypassed the protection by "printing" it with the PDF printer and then just... went at it.
o.o
@joepie91 Scan Tailor was last updated in 2016 though, and I don't know what any of the forks are called :(
Update: I ended up installing ScanTailor Advanced cause Arch packages it, but it doesn't let me select the PDF I wanna work on, it's just greyed out and I can't move it to "Files In Project"
