xsane can produce a multipage pdf document by selecting 'multipage'. Then you select 'pdf' as the document 'type'. I've been doing this for years. Ah!

I don't know, but I have not noticed that feature in many years, and I use xsane a lot.
Want something really decent? Get VueScan (hamrick.com); not free (although there is a free trial version [#] [$]) but worth every penny (at least for me it was -- I bought the Pro version).

Can I try VueScan before I buy?
You can test VueScan with your scanner for as long as you’d like without buying it first. We’re sure you’ll find VueScan to be useful, so we also offer a 30-day conditional money-back guarantee after you buy VueScan.

[$] I understand that the free trial version puts a watermark on scans.
Yes, I heard of the tool from several people, but I don't see what feature I would need that I don't have. Maybe scan to djvu format directly. Now, if I were to purchase a scanner with automatic feed, and if xsane doesn't handle it, I would reconsider :-) (I don't ever scan to PDF directly, I don't like that format for scanned documents. I almost always scan to PNG, which I then convert to djvu. Sometimes I scan instead to jpg (indirectly, via gimp), which I then store). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
