# PDFtoScan

PDFtoScan uses the idea implemented in [baicunko's](https://github.com/baicunko/scanyourpdf) website to make your PDFs look like they were scanned in a CLI-based app.

## Installation

```console
$ pip install pdf-to-scan
```

## Usage

```console
Usage: pdf-to-scan [OPTIONS] FILE_NAME

Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
```

## Example

## Dependencies

The script requires `ghostscript` and `imagemagick` to run.
These can be installed using,

### For Ubuntu
```console
$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
$ sudo apt-get install ghostscript
```

### For macOS
```console
$ brew install imagemagick
$ brew install ghostscript
```

PDF support in ImageMagick might be disabled be default on your os/distro. To fix this, comment out this line in `/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml`
