Comments and Reviews
I've tried numerous others and was not satisfied with any. NAPS2 does what I want. Simple and straight-forward. I'll keep it.
The Linux version of NAPS2 isn't a Linux compilation. The Linux version is the portable version of NAPS2 for Windows. So, you need Wine to run it.
If you need the Linux version, WITHOUT Wine, it can be downloaded at https://www.naps2.com/download
Simple workhorse for normal scanning stuff
Works with Xerox WorkCentre 3025 on Mac 14.4.1 Sonoma despite Xerox's own and Apple's general scanner drivers not working.
After scanning the pages, it allows for great customization. Allows you to reorder, rotate; change brightness, sharpness, hue etc. of individual pages (page edit options accessed from the fullscreen icon).
Has a preview of the pages before you save it as a PDF.
Can also choose an existing PDF to start scanning onto, all the page customization options also work for pre-existing pages in that PDF.
Additionally, it is a FOSS, which is the icing on an already beautiful cake.
Its the only scanner application that works for me. better than the manufacturers software by far.
This tool is a must in every enterprise. With the latest update (7.3.0.0), you can share local scanners among computers in the same LAN (note that it's the best to use the portable version to do the said sharing.)
Very simple and streamlined, for some reason the latest release on the website and github is from 2019, however the developer(s) are updating with prelease/beta versions so it is indeed in active development.
I can see some potential improvements to be made and if it continues will be the best File scanner out there if it isn't already.
