Bug Description
Impact: PDF files generated in locales that do not use '.' as the decimal point are invalid
Resolution: Code change in upstream project (patch in package branch and comments below)
To reproduce:
1. Run simple-scan in a locale that doesn't use '.' as a decimal point, e.g.
$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 simple-scan test
2. Scan one page
3. Save as PDF
4. Try and open PDF in evince
Expected result: PDF is shown with same data as shown in simple-scan
Observed result: PDF is blank and errors shown in evince terminal output
Patch has been tested in English and German locales and the PDF output is correct in these cases. Bug is well defined, no regression problems expected.
