Why Split Book Scan PDFs?

Most flatbed and overhead scanners capture both pages of an open book in a single scan — resulting in a PDF where each "page" is actually two pages wide.

Splitting these scans into individual pages produces a correctly paginated PDF that reads naturally from page to page.

This is an essential step for anyone digitizing books, archiving documents, or preparing PDFs for e-readers and OCR software.
