HDH is wonderful - thank you so much for crafting and sharing it!

HDH 1.1.7 works pretty fine on Linux ;) Everything works well except for merging the images into a single pdf, but this can be done a posteriori on the command line: #!/bin/bash pdfunite * ../../YOUR_PDF.pdf # or pdfunite *{01..10}.pdf ../../YOUR_PDF.pdf Thank you for your software!

Very useful, thanks for your work! A new feature that would be nice would be a way to automatically resize all the downloaded images to the same size, since color images were scanned at different resolutions than b/w.
