See https://sdaps.org/install/ for installation support on Linux Operating Systems. You can use e.g. an older Windows computer and install LUbuntu on it and use that with an attached USB scanner for scanning and processing for Paper and Pencil questionnaires.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:benjamin-sipsolutions/sdaps or /sdaps-unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sdaps If you want to run the SDAPS Creator offline
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 the Questionnaire with SDAPS-Creator.
- Save LaTeX questionnaire e.g. as file
my_quest1.tex
- 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
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 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.
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
- Project Name:
my_project/ - Linux Command:
sdaps (Project Path) add (TIFF Files) - Example:
sdaps /home/myuser/Documents/SDAPS/my_project add multipage.tif
- Project Name:
