Command Line - Quick Start

The following quick start tutorial assumes that your documents are stored in the subdirectory /home/myuser/Documents with a subdirectory /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS that contains all SDAPS project. Adapt the pathname to your home directory and documents folder on your Linux Operating System

Create a Questionnaire

  • Create the Questionnaire with SDAPS-Creator.
  • Save LaTeX questionnaire e.g. as file my_quest1.tex

Create SDAPS Project for Questionnaire

  • Project Name: my_project/
  • Linux Command: sdaps (Project Path) setup_tex (TeX File)
  • Example: sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project setup_tex my_quest1.tex

Print questionnaire

The setup command creates the PDF document questionnaire.pdf in the project directory e.g. /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project/questionnaire.pdf. Print this document multiple times for your survey and let fill out the questionnaire on paper for the survey.

Scan the filled paper and pencil questionnaires

Scan the filled paper and pencil questionnaires with a scanner. E.g. the scanner provides a multipage PDF document with all the scanned questionnaires filled_quests.pdf. (300 DPI, grey scale or black and white). Convert the PDF document into multipage TIFF file in monochrome black and white (not grey scale) e.g. filled_quests.tif.

Join single page TIFF files into one multipage TIFF

Sometimes the scanner provides multiple single page TIFF files. If you have Image Magick installed on your Linux Computer you can join multiple TIFF.

  • Command: convert page1.tif page2.tif -append multipage.tif

Add scanned documents to project

  • Project Name: my_project/
  • Linux Command: sdaps (Project Path) add (TIFF Files)
  • Example: sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project add multipage.tif

Recognize scanned Questionnaires

  • Project Name: my_project/
  • Linux Command: sdaps (Project Path) recognize
  • Example: sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project recognize

Check Recognition of Questionnaires in Frontend

  • Project Name: my_project/
  • Linux Command: sdaps (Project Path) gui
  • Example: sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project gui

Create PDF Report of Recognition

  • Project Name: my_project/
  • Linux Command: sdaps (Project Path) report
  • Example: sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project report

Export CSV Table of Recognition

  • Project Name: my_project/
  • Linux Command: sdaps (Project Path) csv export
  • Example: sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project csv export

SDAPS Menu

It exists an SDAPS menu to avoid command line execution from console. To use the SDAPSmenu.sh on your Linux system it is necessary that zenity and evince is installed by:

  • sudo apt-get install zenity
  • sudo apt-get install evince Evince is a pdf-viewer used in SDAPSmenu.sh and Zenity allows user interaction from a shell script. If zenity and evince are installed you can start SDAPSmenu.sh by:
