I often have mutiple pages that I wish to convert into a multiple page pdf file. I don't have an auto-document feeder, just a flatbed scanner. It seems that emailing scanned pages in a pdf file has become the new "fax machine" The current workflow is... 1. scan each page with skanlite to jpeg ( skanlite doesn't support save as tiff, IIRC )] 2. convert each page file from jpg to tiff ( using imagemagick ) 3. join each page tiff file into a single multi-page tiff (tiffcp) 4. convert that into a pdf ( tiff2pdf ) ...which all requires a bit of knowledge about the commands required. An app that automates that in a way that a noivce could use would be more than great! Regards Tony > libksane for the scanning.
