Scanprep can be used to prepare scanned documents for further processing with existing tools (like the great OCRmyPDF) or directly for archival. It allows splitting multiple documents that were scanned in a single batch into multiple files. In addition, it can also remove blank pages from the output (this is especially helpful if using a duplex scanner).
For document separation, separator pages need to be inserted between the different documents before scanning. These pages tell the program where to split. You can either use the included separator page (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/baltpeter/scanprep/master/separator-page.pdf) or create your own. The separator page simply needs to have a barcode that encodes the text SCANPREP_SEP (you can use any barcode type supported by zbar).

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install scanprep, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install scanprep
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
