Hi all, I'm trying to move my home filing system from paper to electronic form, and i'm having some difficulty getting multipage scans from the automatic document feeder going.
My scanner is an HP OfficeJet Pro L7300, which works fine with single page scans, or multi-page scans where i press the scan button for every page. However, what i want is to be able to put the document in the ADF, press scan, and have it scan it all into one multi-page PDF document for me. If i choose multiple pages in the XSane interface and select the save option, it scans each page into a separate PDF document, which is not workable for me. If i select the multipage project option, if i change the number of pages to scan to anything more than one it fails after the first page with an error message, and if i leave it on one page, i have to press scan separately for every page, even if i manually select the ADF. Is there a way to get this process to work - even with a little scripting? I would be happy to write a wrapper script around scanimage if i knew which pieces i needed to plug together. It seems that xscanimage only supports tiff and pnm format, and i wouldn't know where to start to combine them into a single PDF. Any suggestions? Thanks (and Happy New Year!), Paul
