Comment on Show HN: Make PDFs look scanned (CLI or in the browser via WASM)parent

Comments

I never said that the act of making a digital doc look like it was scanned is fraud.

Yes you did. Verbatim.

You’re dropping the important clause: to pass a document off as being of a different origin and nature specifically to make have a desired legal effect.

I think a library like this could be used for art or literature. For example, to make a document look like an old artifact in lord of the rings or a Sherlock Holmes mystery.

The fraud isn’t in the conversion or appearance. It’s in the intent behind it and how it’s used.
