It was ImageMagick and the convert tool I ended up using for the last file. But firstly I have to scan the manual two times since it is double sided (there is no duplexer and it there were it would have been extremely slow I presume). The scanner programs generates file name numbering that I cannot control when scanning multiple pages. So the trickiness is to splice everything together at the end. Then secondly the scanner jammed at certain times interrupting the number sequence. I ended up doing it manually. Maybe there is a way to do it more automatically. I will find out next time I scan a document. > > There are a bunch of tools for manipulating PDFs; some free, some not. > Here are a couple. > http://www.pdfsam.org/download-pdfsam-basic/ > https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ > http://pdfchain.sourceforge.net/ > https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/PdfMod > >
