About PDFsam Basic

PDFsam Basic is an open source desktop application for working with PDF files. The name stands for PDF Split and Merge. Everything runs on the user's own computer, so documents are never uploaded and no internet connection is needed.

What PDFsam Basic offers

  • Merge — combine PDF files, choosing pages and keeping bookmarks and interactive forms.
  • Split — divide a file at chosen page numbers, at a bookmark level or by file size.
  • Extract pages — keep only the pages needed and save them as a new PDF.
  • Rotate — turn every page or just selected ones.
  • Mix — merge two files taking pages alternately, handy after single-sided scanning.

Who it works with

Casual users. Two commercial editions, PDFsam Visual and PDFsam Enhanced, target professionals who need editing, signing, conversion and form tools.

Key facts

  • Platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Open source since: 2006
