This tool is used to merge separate front-side and back-side scans as pdf into a complete pdf file.
Small example:
Your front scan has the pages F1, F2, F3. Your back has the pages B1, B2, B3. This tool creates a PDF which looks like F1, B1, F2, B2, F3, B3.
You need to have pdftk installed. Furthermore pdftk must be registered in your $PATH system-variable.
You can test if pdftk is installed correctly when you open your terminal, type pdftk and press return.
You can see an example below:
Hint: This application checks if the files are existing and if the number of pages is matching. Due to the normal circumstances of separate front- and back-scans it's assumed that the number of pages differ by 0 or 1 (max). If there is a difference only the back-scans may have one page less than the front-scans.
Ensure that you have pdftk installed and you downloaded the correct pdfmerge for your system. The syntax to use this merge tool is the following:
$ pdfmerge [front] [back] [output]So if you call pdfmerge with the following command
pdfmerge front-scan.pdf back-scan.pdf result.pdfboth PDF-files front-scan and back-scan will be merged (as described above) into result.pdf. If you have already a file called result.pdf it will be overwritten by pdftk.
