FOSS alternatives to document scanner (self.opensource)

submitted 8 months ago by karet to c/[email protected]

I need help finding an alternative for a tool like Adobe scan to scan documents and make PDFs out of them. I've tried out OpenScan, while it is decent, the scanner doesn't recognize the page boundaries that well, and adding new pages requires quite a few clicks, which makes scanning long documents cumbersome. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Paperless is not a document scanner. Its purpose is to manage documents after they've been scanned. The only scanning-related thing it does is OCR.
