Questions people ask
My scanner only scans one side. How do I get a double-sided PDF?
Scan every front, turn the whole stack over and scan every back. Then add both scans here. Because flipping the stack puts the last sheet on top, the backs come out in reverse, and the tool reverses them for you by default.
