    I found one of my early 2001 Xbox programmer's events binders, it's loaded with xbox goodies that might help people do homebrew, only problem is I need a program that can stitch together pdf files as the scanner I borrowed only does the odd pages, then even when you put the papers in the autofeeder.


    Can someone PM me if they have anything that can help?

    It would be around 400 pages.
    The problem is in scanning first pass is
    1,3,5,7,9,etc
    But
    Second pass is
    400,398,396

    So I have to interlsperse and reverse.

    ASSEMbler, I could scan the pages. But I think sending a big son of a bitch of documents to Denmark is such a long stretch. But I do have a scanner that work wonders with A4 pieces of paper.

    I checked through Acrobat and Distiller when I first saw this. Unfortunately, the best solution that I came up with was saving each scan out as an individual PDF and merging them all at once so that the order could be preserved. I didn't see any way of automatically reordering pages from two different files.

    to merge the docs is a 2 step process. Adobe has a merge feature. After that you open adobe in pages and drag the pages to the sections you want. a little tedious but 200 pages should be less than 1 hour.

    If you want to break it down adobe has a feature to get certain pages so the 2 docs could br broken into a few than merged at the end. making the dragging a few small projects.

    I'm trying to find a cheap duplex scanner, I am not spending an hour moving pages around, I'll probably screw it up, and I don't even have adobe anyway.
