Direct Document Scanner
for Odoo 17 Community Edition
Brings physical scanner hardware directly into Odoo forms over a local WebSocket bridge. Supports flatbed scanning, ADF bulk-feed, interactive cropping, multi-page PDF assembly, and full attachment management — all inside a standard Odoo field widget.

⚡ Key Features
100% Local Processing
Zero cloud dependency. All image processing runs in the browser and on the local workstation — no data ever leaves your network.
Interactive Crop & Rotating Editor
8 resize handles, draggable crop box, rule-of-thirds grid, and live pixel readout — rendered directly inside the Odoo form. Rotate pages 90° left/right!
ADF Bulk-Feed Scanning
Scan entire document stacks in one click. All pages are processed, thumbnailed, and queued for PDF assembly automatically.
Multi-Page PDF Assembly
Reorder pages, re-crop individual pages, set custom filename, and generate a PDF — all stored as ir.attachment in Odoo.
USB + Wi-Fi + Ethernet
Network scanners discovered automatically via eSCL/AirScan. No manual IP configuration needed.
