I need help finding an alternative for a tool like Adobe scan to scan documents and make PDFs out of them. I've tried out OpenScan, while it is decent, the scanner doesn't recognize the page boundaries that well, and adding new pages requires quite a few clicks, which makes scanning long documents cumbersome. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Simple-scan does scanning to PDF out of the box. Scan in ten pages and you have them saved all in one PDF file. It can rotate pages as well. Installable as package for Ubuntu, Debian and Arch and probably more.
