fun error message that I received today.. citrix related (on Ubuntu 20.04, official citrix receiver install.. or workspace as it’s called now)
turns out the cert is valid, it’s just citrix looking in the wrong places. A simple symlink to the firefox cert store fixes this problem:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts
and another fix for a problem that I don’t really understand… :-/
Scanning to PDF is kinda useful when signing a contract without being there physically but the file sizes are usually huge.
In my case a 8 page multipage file coming from xsane is ~12MB – which is a little too large to email back.
Luckily someone called Alfred Klomp has written a nice script that compresses the images inside the PDF using ghostscript. it is called… shrinkpdf ;)
The syntax expects a parameter after the destination file name, if not given, it defaults to 72 dpi which I found a little too blurry so I changed that to 120 dpi. A 2-page scan would then be 200kB which is still mail-able so my 8-page file became 1,2MB which is good for emailing and still looks readable. For archiving purposes I actually would keep the larger version.
so now to integrate this into an xsane workflow.. how to go about that?
