It was me - I needed this one doing.

Nope - pdf or tiff. Those are the standards.

Never do this - never scan to a lossy format. Always scan to losses and
then convert as needed.

I was talking about a task of around ~3000 pages in scope - legal
documents. I just wanted to use the auto feeder on my scanner and walk
away whilst it happened (obviously I'd need to reload every so often).
Unfortunately the scanner isn't duplex, so I would then want to repeat
the task and autostich the resultant files together - one file would
have pages 1, 3, 5, 7 etc. and the other pages 2, 4, 6, 8 etc..
As it turns out, there's an Automator action for exactly that - worked fine.
Cheers,
Ian
