Hey everyone,

I just wanted to bring up this program because it does what I've been yearning for for months now. The program is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfscissors/.

It's free and lightweight and it allows you to 'chop' scanned, landscape photocopied double pages (as you often get for academic purposes) into single pages. And it arranges them in the correct order too! I can read any ugly, ancient photocopied pdf on my Onyx Boox M92 with ease now

I have had one difficulty with it however. Once I've 'scissored' my file into a lovely, legible pdf with single pages, running any sort of OCR on the pdf causes it to double up ALL the pages and go completely out of order! This happens in both Adobe Acrobat Pro and ABBYY Finereader Express.

Does anyone know why that might be?
