Description ramboid 2007-07-29 00:40:23 UTC 
Writer fails to import all pages of a multipage scan (Lexmark X 4270).  It 
justs imports the first page.  Microsoft Word imports all pages properly, 
pating each page into its own page.
Comment 1 ramboid 2007-07-29 00:43:41 UTC 
I forgot to mention that multipage scanning failed in the latest version of 
OpenOffice (v2.2.1) for Windows XP.

Also Draw fails to correctly import or open a multipage TIF; just the first 
page is imported.

AFAIR OOo does not support multi page TIF files. This could be the root of your
problem. Please check the related issue.
Comment 3 ramboid 2007-07-29 09:57:55 UTC 
Hi Kami,
Why would the mishandling of TIFF files would cause Writer to scan multipages 
improperly?  I scan right into the Writer application just as I scan into MS 
Word.  Writer imports the first page only while MS Word imports all the pages.  

With Writer, I can only scan one page at a time, insert a page break and then 
scan the next page.  I tend to conclude that Writer fails to use the TWAIN 
driver properly while MS Word uses the multipage feature of the TWAIN driver 
properly.  I have yet to find reports of users that scan with other scanner 
brands.  I am wondering if Writer fails to follow the TWAIN specification or 
the driver for Lexmark fails to implement the TWAIN standard.

I just mentioned the finding with Draw because I was trying to see if Open 
Office would handle some kind of multipage TIFF file.  I was thinking that I 
could scan into a TIFF file and later import the file into Writer but this is 
also out of the question.
