These information are usually generated automatically in the pdf editor that was used to create or modify the pdf document.

These pdf editors usually contain the means to modify the pdf metadata but there are cases where other means of editing might be more comfortable or appropriate. One scenario might be the need to edit the pdf metadata using a computer without the appropriate pdf editor, another speed.

Quick PDF Tools (via Life Rocks)is a free computer software that adds entries to the context menu of Windows Explorer. Those entries allow the user to modify pdf documents on the fly. They can be used to edit certain pdf metadata entries in a window right on the Windows desktop. It is possible to edit the title, author, keywords and subject metadata entries.

That is not all however as the software can also be used to add or remove open passwords, edit the initial view, merge selected pdf documents, convert selected images into pdf document format or to remove the bookmarks of the selected pdf documents.

Quick PDF Tools is a pdf editing software program compatible with both the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating system. The download of the program installer has a size of less than 1 Megabyte.

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.
