Fix the confusing page order of scanned saddle-stitched booklets instantly and securely.
Saddle-stitched booklets are printed with the first and last pages on the same sheet. When you disassemble and scan these sheets, the resulting PDF has a mixed-up order (e.g., page 1 followed by page 20). This tool analyzes that layout and re-orders them into a perfect 1, 2, 3, 4 sequence.
Yes, it's 100% secure. Like all Max-PDF tools, the restoration process happens locally in your browser. Your scanned files are never uploaded to a server, making it the perfect solution for digitizing personal journals or confidential business manuals without privacy risks.
Remove the staples and scan the flat sheets using a duplex (double-sided) ADF scanner into a single PDF. Upload that PDF here, and our engine will handle the complex page-mapping math for you, delivering a ready-to-read chronological document.
Standard booklets are inherently multiples of 4. Even if some pages are blank, as long as you scan all sides of the sheets, the tool will work perfectly. You can easily remove any unnecessary blank pages from the final output using any PDF editor.
No. Our tool uses a lossless restructuring method . We move the original page objects to their new positions without re-compressing images or changing the resolution. Your high-quality scans will remain exactly as sharp as they were in the source file.
It's essential for digital archiving of brochures, thin workbooks, and magazines. Instead of spending 30 minutes manually dragging and dropping pages in Acrobat, you can restore a 40-page booklet scan in just a few seconds.
