@Natanox I forgot the name, but someone made a tool that converts a PDF document into a PDF document that looks like it was printed and then scanned, to get it accepted by German authorities.

@fell @Natanox there's two tools I know and I think both are called variations of "look scanned". One is at lookscanned.io 😊

@fell @Natanox Apart from the already mentioned lookscanned.io (https://github.com/rwv/lookscanned.io) what about using a simple bash script: https://gist.github.com/andyrbell/25c8632e15d17c83a54602f6acde2724

@Micha @fell @Natanox There is also a very cool web service for this purpose 😁

https://lookscanned.io/

Look Scanned

Look Scanned is a pure frontend site that makes your PDFs look scanned! No need for printers and scanners anymore - everything you need to do is just a few clicks.

@Micha @fell @Natanox Ah, now I see it was already mentioned in the other comments.

Don't know if it's a good idea to send private documents to some random website.

@nehrka @Micha @fell @Natanox Generally I would agree. In this case it is open source and runs offline. So you can turn off your internet and convert the document if you want to make sure it does not leave your computer.
