ScanSim PDF: 將數位PDF轉換成模仿掃描的PDF

The purpose of this Docker app is to simulate the process of printing an electronic document and then scanning it back into a PDF. The method involves converting any document into image files, slightly rotating them, and then combining them into a PDF file. The resulting PDF cannot have its text selected and is intentionally presented with a slightly rough appearance.

這一個Docker APP的用途是將電子文件模擬成列印後再掃描成PDF的結果。做法是將任意文件轉換成圖片檔，然後稍微轉個角度，再將它組合成PDF檔案。轉換後的PDF不能選取文字，也刻意地呈現有點粗糙的感覺。
