Splitting scanned pages in half
When a book or an A3 sheet is scanned open, each page of the PDF holds two pages side by side. This cuts every page down the middle into a left and a right half.
The halves are kept in reading order: left, then right. Pages are copied without being re-saved, so nothing loses quality.
If a scan came out sideways, straighten it with Organise pages first so the cut runs down the middle.
Frequently asked questions
