Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Scan the pages separately?

What would you recommend I do if I have 100 recipets and I want each to be its own PDF. I bought this scanner specifically for its auto-feeder, but it defeats the entire purpose if I have to scan each receipt one at a time

Use NAPS2 program it has a function of saving the pages in different PDF files.

This is excellent! Exactly what I needed!

The only problem I am having now is that my scanner is not scanning both sides, even when I have duplex scanning enabled:

However, if I enable 2 in 1, then it scans both sides, but then the scan comes out all as one page, which I don't want

You could split the file with pdftk burst command
