Hi -- I'm so angry I could spit, and I'm hoping OOo will be my knight in shining cordoroy.
As part of my genealogical research, I used to be able to scan multi-page documents and save them as PDF files in one step with the software that came with my printer. After my computer died this spring, I bought a new one with (cough) Vista and everything's now a mess and there's very little that I can get to work like it did before and, specifically, the software that came with my printer is useless. I tried scanning multi-part documents into OOo using: Insert > Picture > Scan > Request I select "document feeder" and it scans the first page, but then it's like it's waiting for something to go on to the other pages, and I can't figure out what it's waiting for. So I'm having to scan each page separately -- it would be nice if I could just have it scan all the pages at once -- is this possible? Also, the defaults for the scanning dialog all have to be changed for each scan, so an eleven page document requires a considerable bit of "messing around." How can I permanently change the defaults? I use the Windows software for scanning imagesd, so I don't need those as default settings in OOo. Specifically, the default paper size is, for some reason, legal size (8-1/2" x 14") and if I forget to change that, I have to re-scan the page. I checked OOo help, but that didn't go into any details. Google didn't help. Can anyone suggest a way to make this easier? Or is there a better solution that doesn't involve OOo (besides switching back to XP).
