Rebuild a PDF from Odd and Even Scans is best approached as a local PDF workflow. In PDFsam Basic, choose the relevant module before selecting source documents. Back up important PDFs and verify the completed result, rather than assuming an operation succeeded because the application closed its progress indicator.
Step-by-step instructions
- Save odd pages to one PDF and even pages to another.
- Verify whether either PDF needs reverse ordering.
- Load both into Mix with appropriate sequence options.
- Run and confirm the rebuilt document page count.
Example and expected result
For the task rebuild a pdf from odd and even scans, start with a duplicate of a small, nonconfidential PDF. Follow the steps using a separate destination path, then open the saved output in your usual PDF reader. Confirm the count and order of pages, the readability of the document, and that the original is still intact.
Important checks and limitations
If you need to change the words inside a PDF page, add OCR, or compress scanned image data, do not assume those features exist in PDFsam Basic. Compare the separate Visual and Enhanced editions before selecting a product.
