GUI to produce PDFs or DjVus from scanned documents

Only five clicks are required to scan several pages and then save all or a selection as a PDF or DjVu file, including metadata if required.

gscan2pdf can control flatbed or sheet-fed (ADF) scanners with SANE via libimage-sane-perl, scanimage or scanadf, and can scan multiple pages at once. It presents a thumbnail view of scanned pages, and permits simple operations such as cropping, rotating and deleting pages.

OCR can be used to recognise text in the scans, and the output embedded in the PDF or DjVu.

PDF conversion is done by PDF::Builder.

The resulting document may be saved as a PDF, DjVu, multipage TIFF file, or single page image file.

I use it all the time. Works great with my Canon LIDE 220 scanner. Some time ago a had issues with loosing connection to the scanner. It turned out, it was a faulty cable :)

Totaler Dreck. Gefühlt jeder zweite Scan gibt einen Error aus. Außerdem fehlt mir das Feature, dass der Scan live als Bild ausgegeben wird. Ich bevorzuge zuverlässige und übersichtliche Software. Das hier kann ich nicht weiterempfehlen.

I've been using gscan2pdf for a few years with a ScanSnap iX-500 scanner. I've been super happy with the combination. No more file cabinets.

Some trouble after update from Linux Mint 19.3 to Mint 20. HP OfficeJet 4654 e.g. whithout ADF Option. Possible Reason: Linux Mint 20 offer only HPLIP-3.20.3 Support. Actuell ist HPLIP-3.20.6 and this version has no Linux Mint 20 Support. Installation not possible.

Works super with Brother DCP-J105. I was so relieved when it worked with my Printer/Scanner device. I can customize the DPI, the Range, Rotate - simple, clean GREAT!

I have tried Simple scanner and Xsane, both of which were not pactical (if even capable) for scanning multiple documents from an automatic document feeder. This program has an awesome GUI and I was up and running in 1 minute. Lots of options that are easy to find and use. GREAT !

I''ve used Gscan2pdf for a year and have been very pleased. I primarily use my Brother MFC-J870DW Printer/Scanner with the sheet feeder. I have been using Linux 18.2 up to 19.3 with the Brother drivers from their web site. I especially like the ability to scan both sides of multiple sheets with Gscan2pdf and create a document that has both sides in order!

Is exactly what I wanted (pdf, color, etc.) and works with my Canon Pixma MG3150 Wifi (whereas xsane would hang trying to 'receive data')
