Tidy up after scanning

Orientate and Deskew

Sometimes scanned pages are either rotated incorrectly or slightly askew on the pages. Click the orientate and deskew button on the page controls menu to automatically fix this.

Save your PDF to retain the changes.

Interleave pages

Document scanners that don't have a double sided feature may mean your pages are out of order.

The interleave pages feature allows you to interleave the pages in the open PDF. That is the second half of the pages of the document are weaved into the first half, alternating pages from each half.

To use the interleave pages feature in pdfMachine, follow these steps:

1. Open your PDF in pdfMachine.
2. Select Tools from the menu.
3. Select Interleave pages from the list of available tools.

Save your PDF to retain the changes.

OCR

Text searches can't be done on scanned documents unless you use OCR to insert invisible, searchable text. See how here.
