I use 'hp-scan' for that: # hp-scan --adf -m color It scans all the pages as ppm, then combines it into a single PDF. It has a bunch of different options, but this is what I start with. Downside is that the PDF is quite large. I solve that by reconverting the images to jpeg. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
