It can save to .djvu and .pdf. I use it very often.

I have been using this program for several years. It has progressed into a reliable and very useful application for the things I need to do regarding scanning items. It has improved considerably from the early days. The only issue I have is the loss of being able to scan in Black and White only (Lineart). It would be nice to get that ability back.

I have not used it much yet but I am already extremely happy that at last I can now use the scanning feature of my Ricoh SP 112su in Ubuntu. Thank you so much for this software!! :-)

I have been using this software for decades and it has always done a great job. I'm not a big fan of Perl in general, but Jeffrey Ratcliffe definitely uses it well!

Very nice and useful. It works great on both Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. Tested with an Epson WF-7620 and a Canon i-SENSYS MF746Cx.
