PDF Split and Merge Basic Edition

Whenever you need to modify the pages of a PDF file, it is best to choose an application that supports more than a single operation, and such a solution is called PDF Split and Merge Basic Edition (also known as PDFsam Basic Edition).

All the functions supported by the utility are clearly displayed within its main window so you can easily find the operation you want to perform with a single glance.

Regardless of the action you want to start with, you can either manually browse to the documents' location or drag and drop them onto the designated area.

You can start with splitting a chosen PDF file according to the criteria that best suit your needs: split after every page, after certain page numbers or by every 'n' pages. PDF Split and Merge Basic Edition also allows you to split your document by size or by bookmarks, as long as they match a specific regular expression.

When it comes to merging multiple documents, you can specify if you are interested in retaining the original bookmarks, generating the table of contents or flattening interactive forms.

A special function is called Alternate Mix, and it offers you the possibility to merge two or more PDFs, combining pages alternatively in natural or reverse order.

Page rotation is also supported by this app, and you get to choose if it should affect all pages, or only the odd or even ones. You can select the rotation angle from the dedicated drop-down menu.

If you want to extract a few pages from your PDF, you only need to enter the page numbers and define a filename pattern for the generated documents.

Overall, PDF Split and Merge Basic Edition can meet the needs of both experts and novices, as it requires little to no PC skills. If you are interested in more advanced functions, you can try PDFsam Enhanced, otherwise you can stick to splitting and merging PDF files, rotating pages and extracting them without too much effort.
