Bug Description
Binary package hint: eog
There seems to be a lack of a good tool in GNOME for bunching scanned pages together into a PDF.
I thought that I could do it with EOG, then use pdftk to concatenate the pages in to a single PDF.
But the resulting PDFs are huge, many times the size of the original JPEG.
It seems that printing a JPEG to a PDF file in EOG causes the image compression to be lost.
Can EOG be fixed, or is there some other tools that's better in GNOME?
I ended up using OpenOffice but that's a too-big stick for the job really.
