...and in future, consult the Forums before adding PPA's, they are complicated. Cheers :)

THANKS - FIXED!  Will do.  Just trying to figure out things on my own instead of being so needy.  But you always come through, so THANKS!

You don't need a PPA, gscan2pdf is already available in 4.x

Uninstall the program, remove the PPA as per the Help Manual instructions.

Then:

Code: [Select]
apt policy gscan2pdf
should return something like:

Code: [Select]
gscan2pdf:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.1.0-1
  Version table:
     2.1.0-1 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages

if the version info is the same as above, then:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install gscan2pdf
and in future, consult the Forums before adding PPA's, they are complicated. Cheers :)

tried that - no luck here were the results:

I get this error (?) message every time I start gscan2pdf scanner program.  Any ideas how to fix it?



Is it just a matter of installing something called PDFTK?
