gscan2pdf es un utilitario que nos ayuda a escanear una o más imágenes y poder exportarlas a formato PDF.
En realidad gscan2pdf vendría a ser un interfase gráfico que usa SANE para escanear las páginas y se vale de PDF::API2 para crear los PDF.
El programa está en los repositorios de Ubuntu pero en una versión anterior con lo que nos perderíamos los cambios que trae esta última versión:
* Deal with version information from PDF::API2
* Suppressed “End of file reached” message.
