Hello All,

I am new to XSane and I have an upcoming project that I need to scan 
multiple pages into a single file.  I have setup a print filter 
that converts PostScript to PDF.  If I print a multiple page 
document it will create a multiple page PDF.  When I use XSane to 
scan multiple pages using the "Save" mode to a PostScript file in a 
serial file sequence and perform several scans.  Multiple files are 
created.  When I attempt to print them combined using the "lpr" 
command it creates the PDF output but with only a single page.  Is 
there a way to create a multiple page PostScript output file?  Or 
even a multiple page document of any file type?  Or alternative 
method to combine the files and print in a single job?

Perhaps you may even be able to suggest an easier, better way to 
perform the task or an additional package for XSane, etc.  I am 
open to any sugestions.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
