General documents — document capture template

The simplest start: every scanned or imported file becomes one document with a batch reference. Pages are straightened and blank pages detected, text is recognised, and each document is exported as a searchable PDF with an XML data file. Use it for archiving, back-scanning and anything not yet covered by a specialised template.
