  Its a hacked together shell script. I wanted to learn shell scripting, but I should’ve probably programmed it in python.

  But it basically does this:

  1. scan pages as png via scanimage in gray scale
  2. convert the image into a high contrast b/w one with image magick
  3. sort pages if I have to combine two scans (front and back side)
  4. create a single pdf of all the document pages via image magick
  5. move pdf to the paperless folder

  I won’t share it because it’s really ugly and some of the functionality can be done with paperless native, like combining the pages of two scans. Which would’ve been easier.

    Thanks! And that’s ok, I’m more interested in the steps than the code itself. Do you apply any optimizations with image magik in step 2?
