My old printer/scanner can scan directly to PDF using the sheetfeeder. |
| 24 |
For double-sided, I always ended up with 1 PDF with odd-pages and 1 with even. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
There used to be tools available (python-old) that could shuffle these |
| 27 |
together and merge them into a single PDF, which would allow for easy reading/ |
| 28 |
printing. |

Currently, I would have to manually convert these to single-pages and then |
| 31 |
merge them, again, manually. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
This is the downside of single-sided sheetfeeders. |

If you do the scans manually (eg. no sheetfeeders) you should be able to get |
| 36 |
them all in the correct order in a PDF. The PDF can then be printed double- |
| 37 |
sided and you get them the same way. (Just scan them "dummy-mode" and add |
| 38 |
white-pages when the back of the sheet is white) |
