gscan2pdf is especially nice because it integrates google's tesseract ocr programme (also available in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories). tesseract is free software and together with gscan2pdf for the first time allows for relatively well working text recognition from scanned pages. (the only other free OCR programme, gocr being essentially useless)
