\section{Briefly}
This package is intended for production of documents based on scanned material in any format acceptable to \textsf{pdflatex} as a graphic inclusion---eg, {\tt pdf}, {\tt png}, {\tt jpg}, though {\tt pdf} works best with this package. For me, the format has been useful when trying to archive pre-\TeX\ documents without converting them to \LaTeX\ source documents but inputting the scanned pages one by one and adding indexing, hyperlinks, a table of contents (You'll have to do this using \verb|\addcontentsline{toc}...|, and if using \textsf{hyperref}, you may need to add \verb|\phantomsection| immediately before \verb|\addcontentsline|), footnotes, marginal notes and the like. What makes scanned documents bothersome is the irregularities introduced by the scanning process. Pages are sometimes skewed and often offset horizontally and/or vertically from one another, and extraneous marks will likely appear, so each page may need adjustments. The methods of this package are of two types. First, the package {\tt scanpages.sty} contains macros to make it more convenient to perform those adjustments and add adornments. Second, some kind of script is very useful for making the relevant part of the {\tt tex} source, if you are handling more than a few pages of scanned material. For this, there are two almost equivalent scripts included to automate this process as much as possible, one written in \textsf{python}, the other in \textsf{AppleScript.} (The letter may be installed in \TeX Shop's macro menu for completely self-contained usage.)
\section{The \LaTeX\ package}
-Starting with a scanned document, you need to measure four dimensions to specify by the region you wish to import, and decide on a magnification factor to apply. The region to import from the scan should ideally be a bit larger (10{\tt pt} is a good starting value) than the area typically containing all the data, and perhaps excluding original page numbers. (The part of the scanned page lying outside the region is cropped.) The four critical dimensions are:

\section{Differences between the scripts}
The AppleScript is meant to work within TeXShop after installation in the TeXShop Macros Menu---see instructions below. It works on the selected part of the file, and its output is placed in the same file, which can be part of a larger document. The \textsf{python} script is meant to run from the command line on a file containing just the pattern text, and produces output in the same file, which can then be copied than into your working {\tt.tex} document. Eg, if you copied the script into a directory on your {\tt PATH} and made it executable

+(A useful variant of this technique was suggested by my colleague Gill Williamson. Suppose your starting point is a hand-sketched graph or some other mathematical illustration. Scan the sketch and create a one-page document as described above on which you will make embellishments such as labels, then save this with no grid and import that document into your final larger document. This protects you from having to make many individual changes if you change the size of your picture so that the \verb|\put()| coordinates all have to be changed.)
