Hi,

I plan to buy a document scanner with ADF and duplex function to scan all
incoming/intermediate/outgoing papers, convert them into PDF and link those
into my org-files.
I was wondering if someone did something like this already? I use Linux and
hence I am looking for a Linux friendly solution.
On the web I found scanbuttond which enables to run a script if a scanner
button is pressed and it seems scanning under Linux is rather scriptable.
I want to make this finally as smooth, easy and painless as possible to
make sure I do not pile up papers because I am to lazy to scan them on a
day by day basis.

Ideally, I want to fill the ADF unit, press a button, receive a single PDF
with all pages scanned duplex in a preset folder, and keep a path to that
file in org-modes killring to place it as a link at the right place. OCR
would be nice too to get a full searchable system.

I guess I am not the first one who tries this and I would be glad if people
share there experience and set-ups.

Thanks and happy new Year

Torsten

CC. Any recommendation on a well working scanner under Linux. At the moment
my favorite is the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500. Seems to work out of the box and
comes with a good performance.
