Can anyone tell me how to get scanadf working in Arch?

Hi,

i wanted to scan some pages with my printer but noticed there is no scanadf nor sane-frontends package available in the repos. I also searched for instructions how to get scanadf working in Arch... I found nothing.

So I'd be really happy if someone can help me!

sane-frontends was dropped to the AUR. You can build and use it, but there is no maintainer to update the package. If you want you could take over that task, though.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sane-frontends

scanimage in --batch mode should be able to use adf scanners as well, then you can create a pdf with img2pdf.

Not an Arch Discussion; moving to Newbie Corner.
