For double-sided, I always ended up with 1 PDF with odd-pages and 1 with even. There used to be tools available (python-old) that could shuffle these together and merge them into a single PDF, which would allow for easy reading/ printing. Currently, I would have to manually convert these to single-pages and then merge them, again, manually. This is the downside of single-sided sheetfeeders. If you do the scans manually (eg. no sheetfeeders) you should be able to get them all in the correct order in a PDF. The PDF can then be printed double- sided and you get them the same way. (Just scan them "dummy-mode" and add white-pages when the back of the sheet is white) -- Joost
