Hello,
I don't know about Macs but on a PC you don't need a plugin for simple
scanning. I use
I use a free program called NAPS2 which has proven to be very reliable over
the years. I scan the document into a known folder and retrieve it from
there and can then do what I want with it.
The code is simply the following:
SET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE("_4D_OPTION_HIDE_CONSOLE";"true")
cDTPath:=System folder(Desktop)
cDTPath:=cDTPath+Char(92)+"4DScan"+Char(92)
cDTPath:=PATH_Fix (cDTPath)
If (Test path name(cDTPath)#Is a folder)
CREATE FOLDER(cDTPath)
Else
DOCUMENT LIST(cDTPath;acOldDocs)
For ($old;1;Size of array(acOldDocs))
DELETE DOCUMENT(cDTPath+acOldDocs{$old})
End for
End if
cDTPath:=cDTPath+Char(92)+"ScannedPI"+Generate UUID+".pdf"
cDTPath:=PATH_Fix (cDTPath)
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nAPS2\\naps2.console
-o"+cDTPath)
All you need to do in setting up NAPS2 is to create a profile which tells
it which scanner to use.
