Stuff like this exists because someone doesn't understand the technology. It's infuriating, and I have had to deal with similar situations.

I had a job where I needed to interact with a PDF doc that came out every month. The person doing it would print out all 50 pages, someone would sign the last page and she would scan the whole doc back in. So now instead of a useful PDF, we just had 50 pages of pictures.

This bullshit exists because of the archaic practice of wet ink signatures that lots of government and corporate entities still insist on, many places refuse to let you use digital signatures, but if there is no compulsion for wet ink signature then only some dinosaur idiots who don't know any better work like this

Ok I blame them rather than general tech illiteracy. Surely you would search "pdf appender" at some point in your life if that was your career.
