In my tests, I merged various eBooks to form a single book.

The program is available as a portable version. PDFsam Basic does not require Java to be installed, it comes with the required files needed to run the application. It just serves as an ad for the paid versions, and you can ignore it or disable the Premium section from the settings. There is a whole section of Premium features that you obviously can't use in the free version. You can also extract the pages by using the page ranges selection tool (like extracting a Chapter). This option is handy if you just want to extract one or two pages, to use for reference or quick access. RotateĮver had a PDF which had pages or pictures in landscape mode? This set of options in PDFsam can be used to rotate individual pages, all pages, odd or even pages of a PDF, by 90 or 180 degrees clockwise, or 90 degrees anti-clockwise.

There are two more ways to Split PDFs: by bookmarks and by size (in KB and MB). There are a few different ways to split a PDF including: after each page, odd or even pages, split after specific page numbers, or after every 'n' pages (for e.g. If you have a large PDF that you wish to break down into smaller documents, you can do that with PDFsam.

So it will use a page from the first PDF followed by one from the 2nd PDF, and so on to mix and merge the document. The Mix and merge section of the sidebar uses pages in alternating order from two or more PDFs to create a single PDF. You can customize the destination folder where the PDF should be saved, and also set the name of the new file using the 'Destination' section.
