gscan2pdf is a GUI to ease the process of producing PDFs or DjVus from
scanned documents. You scan one or several pages in with File/Scan, and
create a PDF of selected pages with File/Save PDF. At maturity, the GUI
will have similar features to that of the Windows Imaging program, but
with the express objective of writing a PDF, including metadata.
Scanning is handled with SANE via scanimage. PDF conversion is done by
libtiff. Perl is used for portability and ease of programming, with
gtk2-perl for the GUI. This should therefore work more or less out of
the box on any system with gtk2-perl, scanimage, and libtiff.
