My new program for merging nonduplex pdf adf scans

My new program for merging nonduplex pdf adf scans

Dear NG,

I don't know where to share this.. so I thought I share it here.. I
thought it might be useful to others. I just wrote a console program
called "mscan"

Short Description:
mscan is console program that uses pdftk (so you must have pdftk when
you run mscan) to merge the frontside and backside scans from a non-
duplex ADF scanner. Most of this work can done directly by pdftk, but
the sequencing of many pages when catenating pdf is sometimes tedious.
mscan is open source

Long Description:
I just bought an multifunction HP printer with ADF scanning feature.
Because of low budget I went for one that doesn't have a duplexer. I
soon realized that I have a problem when scanning pages and trying to
merge them with pdftk (as many of other people, I noticed). The first
batch of my scans will be the fronts sides of the sheets I feed in
adf, the other batch would be the backside. Merging them required me
to write a very small easy program that uses pdftk to parse the
parameters needed to pdftk to have the right merge of the backside and
frontside scans in the correct order. The user need just type mscan in
the console, and mscan will ask the user what order the pages are and
other parameters needed in pdftk to merge the scan.

Url to download mscan (executable with c++ source code):
http://drop.io/keeuud5

If there are questions that I might help with I will try to answer
them (though I'm sure you can figure the program out, its very easy..
in fact it was faster for me writing the program than writing this
post. -_- ) email me at jcapco AT yahoo DOT com

Thanks and enjoy ^^

Sincerely,
Jose Capco

thanks. tried on linux with wine 0.9.22 (not working) I'll try with latest 
wine, otherwise, are you able to compile a linux binary version? I'am not 
so much able to compiling programs from sourcecode

Oh.. Im sorry it didnt work for you in wine :(  .. I don't have a
stable linux right now (only experimental ones and they are all still
very unstable to work with).

But since you already have linux.. go into the code,

comment the

using <conio.h>
into
//using<conio.h>
and comment
getch()
into
//getch()

then compile it with gcc using

gcc mergescan.cpp -lstdc++

and hopefully you get a working binary in linux then.
