Package: gscan2pdf
Version: 0.9.26-1
Severity: normal

Here's what I did:

1) Scan a document at 300DPI with gscan2pdf

2) Save it as a PDF, automatic compression.

3) Close gscan2pdf.

4) Open gscan2pdf

5) Scan a page at 300DPI

6) Import the PDF saved in step 2

7) Edit a page with Tools -> Gimp (added text; did not change size)

8) Save this new document as PDF, automatic compression.

Result: the newly-scanned page is fine.  All the original pages appear
*huge* -- something is getting messed up with their resolution.

I note that gscan2pdf does not have a place to define what the
resolution of imported file is; kinda annoying when importing PNGs and
the like which may not define it.  It appears that gscan2pdf thinks
that these PDFs are for a much larger piece of paper than they really
are, when it imports them.
