How to: step-by-step
- Select the two source PDFs as A and B.
- Choose the alternating mode, ratio or custom pattern offered.
- Check the order in each source, then run the mix.
- Download and inspect the first few pairs and the final pages.
Tips for better results
- Use a small sample to confirm the sequence before mixing long scans.
- Reorder a reverse-scanned back-side file first if necessary.
Common pitfalls
- The tool cannot infer which page is the matching back side.
- Unequal source lengths can produce an unexpected tail of pages.
Before you finish
Mixing combines page sequences; it does not perform automatic duplex-scan matching.
