Split Or Merge PDF Files

Why would someone want to split or merge PDF files. That’s a question that has to be addressed at the beginning. Merging PDF files makes sense when a user wants to combine pdf documents into a larger one. This has benefits like an better overview of the pdf documents on the local computer. Instead of having ten pdf files in a folder a user could merge them to have only one that would contain all the files.
It might also be useful for collectors who collect online comic books or other books in PDF format.

Splitting makes sense as well. Maybe only part of a pdf document is of relevance. Instead of keeping the complete pdf file a user could split the document and keep the important parts and delete the rest.

The Open-Source tool PDF SPlit and Merge has already been mentioned before in the split and merge pdf files article at Ghacks. Adolix Split Merge PDF is another free software that can be used to split and merge PDF files.

The software program uses a tabbed interface that provides access to a split and a merge tab. One PDF file can be added to the split tab which contains options to split the pdf file into files of x pages each or by selecting page ranges.

The merge tab looks pretty much alike with the difference that multiple pdf files can be added to it which are then merged in order.

Adolix Split and Merge can split and merge password protected pdf files. It is compatible to most Microsoft Windows operating systems and was tested on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
