Looking forward to using this next time I'm told I have to print, sign, and scan a document. I already have software setup to slightly rotate the page and add some grain, but this will add extra verisimilitude.

    convert \
        -density 150 \
        -colorspace gray \
        +noise Gaussian \
        -rotate 0.5 \
        -depth 2 \
        "$1" \
        "$(echo "$1" | rev | cut -f 2- -d '.' | rev)-scanned.pdf"

I legit had to google the word "verisimilitude"

  • Me too. What a wordsmith, I am in awe! not being sarcastic, I really do appreciate it

  • Huh, it's not a common word in English, right? Spanish being my mother tongue, it's not weird for me.

    What would be a more anglo word with a similar meaning, if any?

Now we just need a similar package to smudge and blot the signature slightly, and add a little ink spatter, for the fountain pen look.
