Hi all,Are you talking about images or text? If you just want to scan a page as an image, any of the SANE-based programs are fine - a good option is to set up the GIMP with SANE as a source, then save in Postscript format, which you can then convert to PDF with ps2pdf
Is there an app that can easily scan docs to a PDF file?
If you want to actually read the characters of a text and prodcue a PDF file as your end result, you probably don't want to go directly to PDF in any case, as there are bound to be some scanning errors you'll need to correct, or formatting you want to change. GOCR is the only tool I know of for scanning text.
For converting text files to PDF, you can use a2ps then ps2pdf, but if you want any formatting you're better off opening the file in OpenOffice or LyX, both of which can export PDF files. LyX gives nicer results, as it uses LaTeX as a backend, but if you want your PDF files to be viewable by Windows users, you need to change the default font to pslatex or ae.
