I agree, gscan2pdf has a lot of great features, but it does a different thing. If I want to have the plain text of the scanned original afterwards, gscan2pdf cannot help me, as it only produces a PDF with the recognized text in a hidden layer behind the image. The sole purpose of this is to make the PDF indexable by desktop search helpers like Beagle.
