Rebuilding a double-sided scan
Scanners that only do one side leave you with two files: the fronts (1, 3, 5…) and the backs, often in reverse (6, 4, 2). Add the fronts first, then the backs.
The backs are reversed automatically and the pages are interleaved, so every page lands in order. Pages are copied without being re-saved, so nothing loses quality.
If a back page was blank, remove it afterwards with Delete pages.
Frequently asked questions
Which file do I add first?
The fronts. The second file is treated as the backs and reversed before mixing.
How do I combine front and back scans into one PDF?
Add the fronts file, then the backs file, and turn on Reverse order for the backs, or open the Double-sided scan preset, which does it for you.
What's the difference from Merge PDF?
Merge puts whole files one after another. Alternate & mix takes one page from each file in turn.
Can I mix more than two files?
Yes. Pages are taken from each file in the order shown.
