What software is available in 16.0 to scan multiple pages and combine them into a single pdf file?
A very open, non-revealing, question … your query can be interpreted in a couple (or more) different ways.
You posted this with the tag, “Install Boot Login” category, which is very perplexing.
I have a physical HP printer/scanner/copier with dedicated software that can do it. (obviously, this is required if documents are paper physical)
(the following is working with documents on a computer)
I’ve also used LibreOffice Writer and Draw to do it.
I’ve used Okular to do it.
I have an online account with Adobe that can do it (upload the documents and it’ll create the PDF).
I use simple-scan, for multi-page scanning via a Brother (flatbed) scanner. If you like KDE apps, there is also skanpage which handles multi-page scanning.
Simple-scan scans ok, but on my system it takes intolerably long to save the scans as pdf - about 50s, almost independent of number of pages. I’m missing xsane, which doesn’t seem to be available for 16.0. The best replacement I’ve found so far is gscan2pdf. Any other suggestions?
I build a repo only with software for printing, scanning, OCR…

manythanks it will be very useful when I’ll upgrade my 15.6 to 16 desktop pc with scanner, I don’t know how many brogress have done from years ago simple-scan and skanpage but the only that works as I like was xsane, it has many defects but always less than the other two
I own a Epson Scanner and use espsonscan2 for scanning, not xsane.
But this is my decision, any user should use, what he means to use.
Brother with skanpage or skanlite without error or problems.
Simple-scan is too basic, and it’s a GNOME application to boot

xsane from Sauerland’s repo works well. Thanks for building this repo.
