Accountants waste hours manually merging and rotating disorganized client-submitted image files because the firm refuses to purchase PDF editing software.

Existing free tools like Xodo can merge and rotate but lack automation, while full Acrobat is denied due to cost; no solution auto-processes batches of scanned images into a single, oriented document without manual intervention.
