\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}. 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 so each page will potentially 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 governed 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 four critical dimensions are:
\begin{itemize}
\item
-The $x$ and $y$ coordinates {\tt llx, lly} of the lower left corner of the image region relative to the lower left corner of the page;
+The $x$ and $y$ coordinates {\tt llx, lly} of the lower left corner of the image region (the part you want to import) relative to the lower left corner of the scanned page;
\item the width {\tt w} of the image region;
\item the height {\tt h} of the image region.
\end{itemize}

which it interprets as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item
{\tt rot} is an angle of rotation (degrees) in the mathematically positive sense (counter-clockwise) about the center. You may find it easier to enter {\tt tanrot=0.175}, the tangent of the rotation, as this is more easily estimated from the picture.
-\item {\tt page=1} selects the first page of the file {\tt scan-0.pdf}. This option may be omitted if the file contains only one page.
+{\tt page=1} selects the first page of the file {\tt scan-0.pdf}. This option may be omitted is the file contains only one page.
\item {\tt dx} nudges the resulting picture to the right by {\tt 20bp}, and similarly for {\tt dy}. (Actually, {\tt dx} nudges the {\tt viewport} to the left by {\tt 20bp/scale}.) If no unit is provided, {\tt bp} is assumed.
\item Any material following the \verb|\scanpage| line and before \verb|\endpicture| can be used for index entries, table of contents entries, footnotes and the like.

-where {\tt x} and {\tt y} are the purely numeric coordinates with implied unit {\tt 1bp}, which matches that required for dimensions in \verb|\includegraphics|. For example, \verb|\put(10,20){Text and $x$}| makes an L-R box (no line breaks) from the content \verb|Text and $x$| with reference point at is left baseline and translates that reference point to {\tt (10,20)}, which is {\tt 10bp} to the right and {\tt 20bp} above the lower left corner of the picture. You may also use other \LaTeX\ constructs in place of an L-R box---a minipage, a parbox, a makebox or a graphic.
+where {\tt x} and {\tt y} are the purely numeric coordinates with implied unit {\tt 1bp}, which matches that required for dimensions in \verb|\includegraphics|.

The page it produces contains, in addition to the scan material and other embellishments, a superimposed grid with unit {\tt 1bp} and a black box marking the edge of outline of the destination box. After all adjustments are complete, the grid may be suppressed by adding the option {\tt nogrid} to the package option list.

\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
