I use 'hp-scan' for that: |
| 22 |
# hp-scan --adf -m color |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
It scans all the pages as ppm, then combines it into a single PDF. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It has a bunch of different options, but this is what I start with. |
| 27 |
|

Downside is that the PDF is quite large. I solve that by reconverting the images to jpeg. |
