Hacking ExtendedPDF to work with Evolution?

llama said

I'm successfully using gscan2pdf to scan in my documents on a Brother MFC8860-DN scanner (after installing Brother's deb). I like gscan2pdf a LOT. It's no PaperPort, but it does make scanning quite easy to do. I have deleted pages, but haven't had need to add/merge any yet.

Sorry to jack my own thread, but it's a related topic...

I've heard of gscan2pdf, but haven't used it yet. My Ubuntu 9.10 came with XSane Image scanner pre-installed, but I can't test the software because it doesn't find a scanner plugged in. I haven't hooked up a scanner to Linux yet, but I've got an old HP scanner laying around that would be perfect for testing that. Any experience with XSane? What's the difference between XSane and gscan2pdf?

Funny you should mention Paperport, as that is one of my favorite Windows programs; but as long as I have a scanner with PDF capability, I can easily duplicate the Paperport directory & filing structure and be good to go!
