Split and merge PDF files, free and open source·pdfsam.org

PDFsam is a family of desktop applications for working with PDF files, offered in three editions: PDFsam Basic (free and open source) for merging, splitting, extracting, rotating and mixing PDFs; PDFsam Visual, a paid tool with more than 25 tools for visually organizing, compressing, cropping and cleaning PDFs; and PDFsam Enhanced, a full PDF editor with OCR, fillable forms, digital signatures and file conversion. All editions run entirely on the user's own computer and never upload files to a server.
