Every once in a while, i have to submit expense reports. Like some other new expense report systems, when submitting receipts, you have to print off a cover sheet containing a bar code. When you send in your receipts via fax (what is this, 1987?) you have to use that barcode sheet as a cover sheet. Luckily, you can also email it in. However, your scanned receipts and the barcode cover sheet have to be part of the same file with the barcode file coming first.
The problem i have with this is that essentially, i have to print out the barcode sheet and scan it in with all my receipts. Seems a waste to print something out so i can scan it back in. When i talked to one of the guys in the expense department, he said he'd put in a request for me to get a full copy of adobe acrobat pro so i could merge them together.
So, i did a little search and found pdfsam (PDF Split and Merge). This little utility is free and lets you split pdfs into multiple documents and reassemble them any way you want. Pretty cool stuff. Definitely cheaper than acrobat pro!
