What Skanpage is
Skanpage is a free Linux application for scanning multi-page documents, as well as single-page documents and images. It works with flatbed and automatic document feeder (ADF) scanners, and provides configurable settings for the scanning device. Before saving, you can reorder, rotate, or delete scanned pages. The application saves multi-page scans as PDF documents and can also save image files. OCR is included. KDE lists Skanpage under the GPL-2.0+ license and provides links to its source code and bug reporting page. Linux installation is listed through AppStream application stores or a distribution package manager, with a Flathub link also available. For help, KDE lists a community discussion forum. KDE's software privacy policy says its software generally does not transmit information from a user's device unless the user takes an explicit action. KDE e.V., a registered non-profit, represents the KDE Community in legal and financial matters.
