Hi, I plan to buy a document scanner with ADF and duplex function to scan all incoming/intermediate/outgoing papers, convert them into PDF and link those into my org-files. I was wondering if someone did something like this already? I use Linux and hence I am looking for a Linux friendly solution. On the web I found scanbuttond which enables to run a script if a scanner button is pressed and it seems scanning under Linux is rather scriptable. I want to make this finally as smooth, easy and painless as possible to make sure I do not pile up papers because I am to lazy to scan them on a day by day basis.
Ideally, I want to fill the ADF unit, press a button, receive a single PDF with all pages scanned duplex in a preset folder, and keep a path to that file in org-modes killring to place it as a link at the right place. OCR would be nice too to get a full searchable system. I guess I am not the first one who tries this and I would be glad if people share there experience and set-ups. Thanks and happy new Year Torsten CC. Any recommendation on a well working scanner under Linux. At the moment my favorite is the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500. Seems to work out of the box and comes with a good performance.
