Is there any news on the scanning capability or ability to merge JPEGs into one PDF? I have just started using Mayan 0.13 and loving it so far but want to simplify the process of importing multipage scanned documents. Have to scan to JPEGs then merge into PDF then upload to Mayan, would be really good to upload straight to Mayan.
Thanks!
