Often I need to scan a document of several pages and send those pages to someone by email.
Rather than send them several image files, often it is better to convert those image files into one PDF.
First scan the images:
scanimage --format=tiff --resolution=300 > scanX.tif
Where 'X' is a number that you increment every time you scan a page.
Then, concatenate the various tiff images into one using tiffcp:
tiffcp scan*.tif scan-all.tif
Finally, use tiff2pdf to turn the tiff file into a pdf.
tiff2pdf scan-all.tif > scan.pdf
tiff2pdf comes with quite a few useful options. The -j switch turns the images into jpegs so saving space. The -z switch compresses the images.
