using Xsane to convert multipage document to single pdf file

[revheck]

Folks,

I'm using mandrake linux and an hp scanner.

I want to scan a 10-page document and save it as a single pdf file. This
seems like an obvious and common task for any scanning software.

But Xsane wants to save each page as a separate file, and
doesn't offer pdf as a file format. I have to save as 10 separate postscript
files and then use various filters to merge and convert to pdf.

Is there a way to do this directly from xsane?

Thanks,

revheck.

Not directly from sane, but once you have all the pages as postscript
files, do "cat output00[01-10].ps>>output.ps" to concatenate them into one
postscript file, then "ps2pdf output.ps" to convert it into a pdf
document.
