convert is part of the Image Magic package. ps2pdf is, if I recall correctly, part of the Ghostscript package. I don't recall where scanimage comes from, but you probably already have it.
If you have multiple pages you want to end up in one PDF file, scan them as page1.pnm, page2.pnm, page3.pnm, etc. until you have them all, then use 'convert -density 300 page*.pnm page.ps' to build the intermediate PostScript file out of them.
Ok, so the answer is to start looking into Kommander and roll my own. Thanks for the script.
Writer or Kooka or xSane cant do multi page scan - well the last time I checked. And Kooka saves/prints horribly to PDF.
Thanks
**************** Hi, Take a look to see if the file "cups-pdf" is available on SuSE's mirrors. If not you may want to compile it yourself. It's very handy, in that it lets you create a Virtual pdf printer you can just select from any printer dialog and print the document directly to a good pdf file. Acroread can read the file most excellent as do the other pdf readers. When setting it up, you want to choose Postscript as the brand & model of printer. Makes printing to pdf very handy & easy from your programs. have fun, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
