I've started working on a pdf deskewer (linux only, it might work in cygwin). It is dependent on pagetools (http://pagetools.sourceforge.net/) to find the skew of the page and netpbm (http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/) to read and write pbm files. I wrote my own pbm rotate program because both imagemagick and netpbm rotate tools did strange things to the output. I tested it with the schubert symphony uploaded earlier today (http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.9,_D. ... rt,_Franz)). Many pages are badly skewed. Here are the first ten pages of the resulting pdf: http://horndude77.googlepages.com/Schub ... 9_part.pdf. Let me know what you think.
P.S. Is the url tag broken or am I doing something wrong?
