What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of incorrectly ordered double-sided document PDFs created by simplex scanning, where front pages and back pages are split across two files and the backs are in reverse order.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Odd/Even PDF Interleaving: Merges a front (odd pages) PDF with a back (even pages) PDF by reversing the even pages and interleaving them to restore the correct reading order.
  • Simplex Post-Processing: Designed specifically for the two-PDF output pattern of simplex scanning (fronts in order, backs in reverse order).
  • Cleanup Hint for Blank Trailing Pages: Supports checking the resulting page count and removing a trailing blank page when present.

Quick Start

Provide the two existing PDFs (the odd/front file and the even/back file) and tell the AI to merge them into one correctly ordered output PDF using this skill.
