Public bug reported: pdfsandwich in Ubuntu is suffering from the following bug that has already been reported and fixed in Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802233 TLDR; There are spaces between almost every scanned character in the output pdf and so searching for any text is impossible. This makes pdfsandwich useless in its current version. Please kindly sync the updated version from Debian to Ubuntu or backport the respective patch to make pdfsandwich useful again.
