I've been looking for a good multi-document feed scanner. Do you have experience using the iX500 with Linux, or gscan2pdf?

My usecase would be scanning multi page documents with minimal effort, and saving to PDF somewhere.

I thought about Linux but while it should be possible to use the iX500 with Linux you would lose OCR. I did some tests and compared the OCR of the included ABBYY FineReader with Tesseract[1]. Tesseract was not good enough for my use case. So I still use the iX500 on Windows.
