I offer the following either for potential interest, and/or because in I will have some follow-on questions in my next posts: XSANE ******** Scanning-multipage-documents-in-xsane.html http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/02/scanning-multipage-documents-in-xsane.html gscan2pdf *********** Referencing SANE, PDF, TIFF export http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/ Debian package http://packages.debian.org/sid/gscan2pdf Ubuntu GUI menu screenshot http://www.ubuntugeek.com/scan-to-pdf-using-gscan2pdf-in-ubuntu.html Simple Scan (for Ubuntu) ************** http://bobthegnome.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-simple-scan.html OCR ***** Tesseract OCR http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9676 gscan2pdf … produces a PDF with the recognized text in a hidden layer behind the image… to make the PDF indexable by desktop search helpers like Beagle. There's also the xsane2tess script, a wrapper for tesseract-ocr that can be used with xsane's scan to text feature. See: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/xsane2tess (in French, but try Google translation). http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/138511
