[Coco] List of copied manuals ready to be scanned

[Bob Devries]

Fedor, if you save each page as a separate PDF file numbered in the correct 
order Acrobat will allow you to merge them into one document. I use Version 
6, and when I select Create PDF->From Multiple Files, it allows me to 
chooses the files, and arrange them in correct order.
