PDF Glue

There are multiple file formats which can contain the same amount and type of content. However, only some managed to build a reputation over the years, mostly because of stability and security reasons. For instance, PDF Glue is a practical program with the help of which you can stitch multiple PDF files together.

One major advantage here is that you can use the application as soon as download is done, because there’s no setup involved to take any of your time or effort. What’s more, it can be used on other computers directly from a thumb drive, and the health status is not affected, because registry entries remain intact.

The visual interface is pretty simple, yet intuitive. Most of the space is where files you add get enlisted, with details like filename, size of the file, as well as number of pages. Note, however, that adding files needs to be done through the browse dialog, because there’s no possibility to drop them over the list.

Once you add files from different locations, you might want to take the time to also arrange items on the list. However, you need to use the built-in controls to send items up or down. It would have been useful to be able to simply drag them from one place to the other.

The stitching process doesn’t take a lot of time, even if you add an abundance of files. All pages of selected documents are bundled inside the resulting file, with no control over page layout other than arranging documents in a particular order.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that PDF Glue is a practical application, with with a rather poor set of features. It helps you build a large file out of multiple PDF documents, but without the possibility to thoroughly control how pages get created, or any security measures.
