# Simplex Scanner PDF Merge
Post-processing skill: interleave two already-scanned PDFs (fronts + reversed backs) into one correctly ordered document. This skill does **not** drive the scanner — if the user wants to *start* scanning, hand off to `naps2-scan`.
When scanning double-sided documents with a single-sided (simplex) scanner, you end up with two files:
- **Odd pages** (front sides, often named "ungerade") — in correct order
- **Even pages** (back sides, often named "gerade") — in **reverse** order, because the user flips the stack to scan the backs, so the last even page is scanned first
## When to Use
- The user already has **two existing PDF files** in the working directory that look like front/back halves of a double-sided document.
- Filenames contain `ungerade`/`gerade`, `odd`/`even`, or `front`/`back`.
- The user explicitly asks to "merge these", "interleave these PDFs", "combine odd and even", or similar.
## When NOT to Use
- The user wants to **start a new scan** (phrases like "scan this", "let's scan", "scan another", "digitize") — use the `naps2-scan` skill instead. This skill will not produce scans.
- The user has only one PDF file — no merge needed.
- The user has more than two scan PDFs — this skill pairs exactly one odd file with one even file.
## Prerequisites
- **`uv` on PATH** — the skill's merge script un
