Hi Ulrich, RH7.3 KDE Xsane
Thanks for your advice. I think that your alternative suggestion may suit my application. I can save the scanned images as pnm, bmp, etc format and keep them in the same directory. What I need is a tool to stack all images together to form a file with each image on separate page and then print them as pdf file. I came from Windows, PageKeeper or OmniPager or PaperPort will do the job and then print all images to a pdf file forming a book. They also have simple graphic edition tools. Goggle search brought me to following site; http://www.trilon.com/xv/xv.html Now I have xv-3.10a-13.i386.rpm and xv-3.10a.tar.gz downloaded. But from its document I am not quite sure whether xv is a freeware under GNU licence or a proprietory application. I shall be much appreciated if you can pass me some additional information whether XV has more and less same feature as those Windows application as mentioned before Thanks in advance.
