Merge two PDFs scanned from a double sided print, front.pdf and reverse.pdf. The reverse.pdf side is scanned in the reverse order to the front. Extract images from multiple PDFs. The Poppler toolset provides pdfimages. mkdir -p images/front mkdir -p images/reverse pdfimages -p -all front.pdf images/front/ pdfimages -p -all reverse.pdf images/reverse/...
