How to scan documents
From Wildsong
I have a Brother scanner that has a document feed on it. It scans a multipage doc and puts the output into a PDF file on my server via FTP.
- Scan the odd pages, front to back.
- Scan the even pages, back to fron.
- Convert the PDF documents to PS documents
- Split the PS documents into separate files, one page per file
- Optionally perform any additional processing on the individual pages, such as image compression
- For WEB version
- Perform OCR on the individual page files so they can be searched separately
- Convert individual pages into PNG files for viewing
- Put all pages into a book viewer collection
- Merge the page files into one PS document
- Convert the merged document back into PDF document
- Perform OCR on the PDF doc
