I spent part of this evening at my wife's office helping her with
a similar problem: scan in a 26-page document and make it available
to her students.  The software solution of choice (Apple here) was
Adobe PDF genenerating software capable of taking input from a
scanner.  The scanner was slow, (75 sec. a page) so this took a
while but in the end I had a single pdf file of the entire document.

I would really like to find similar software available under Linux --
and it doesn't have to be free. I'm perfectly willing to pay for this
kind of utility.
