Is there a cocoa infrastructure for image scanning?

What options do I have for image scanning frames in Mac OS X? I am not looking for an OCR library. Just something that the actual scan and import into PDF or a comparable format will do.

In Snow Leopard and later, the Image Kit contains classes for scanning and importing from cameras. There is also a low-level structure, ImageCaptureCore. Both platforms are described in the Image Capture Application Programming Guide in the Apple Documentation Archive.

At Leopard, you'll have to use Image Capture , a less documented, less modern, less reliable API. (This is different from the Image Capture app, which has always been great.) I hope you may need Snow Leopard.

I know this post is old, but it’s still very difficult to find good information about this topic on the Internet. Shortly speaking. I made a package (including multiple choice support). Check it out (open source) on Github: https://github.com/ckteebe/SPScannerCaptureWindow

Not the infrastructure itself, but the supplied Apple Image Capture.app , in /Applications in recent OS X releases, supports various popular scanners and scans them into various image file formats or PDF files.
