WARNING: THIS PROJECT IS OBSOLETE NOW, check the recent version at https://sourceforge.net/projects/naps2/ This software makes scanning of documents (including from ADF and Duplex) as simple as possible. Requires .NET Framework 2.0

Scanner Copier scans multiple pages in Windows and prints them as a single document. This can be used in conjunction with PDFCreator in order to make PDF files from scanned documents similar to other ‘scan to PDF’ software.
