Help with text recognition please 2 pages per sheet

Here is the problem.

I have 25 jpegs of a book that were scanned that way for a particular reason.  Each image is of an open book (2 pages per sheet).

I was able to drag and drop them all into acrobat and convert them to PDF.  So far so good.  But, now I want to do text recognition. 

How to get this right?  I don't want it to read all the way across the sheet or it will be mixing up two pages.

Can I either:

A) have it recognize left first and then right?

B) somehow split each sheet into two separate sheets each containing one page

Thanks for the help
