Ever since the scan app launched for Chromebooks back in February, it’s been fairly bare bones. You can scan a single page and store it for later either locally or in your Google Drive via the Files app. From there, you can share it with a recipient. A new Chromium repository commit discovered by Dinsan at Chrome Story shows that Google now has plans to allow for multi-page scanning.
The update, if and when it rolls out will allow you to scan multiple pages consecutively via a flatbed scanner and stitch them together into a single PDF. Those familiar with Google Drive for Android will notice that this is a prominent feature of the app’s ODT scanning tool. This makes much more sense than single-page scanning as most people utilizing such a tool will want to store a multi-page document more often than a single page one, especially in enterprise and education where such a task is more common.
