@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.

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

@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.
