How to make multiple page scans with Gscan2pdf?
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and just installed the software. It works beautifully if it is a one-page document. However, in a multiple page document, it does not stop to allow for change of pages: it scans page 01 and goes on nonstop scanning page 01 again and again. Tks
Wow, THIS is exactly why Linux will never be adopted into the mainstream computing world.
