One of the worst user interfaces. Breaks windows protocol by using its own "no value added" skins... and if you don't use 96dpi but have any form of scaled desktop, then the mouse does NOT respond to where the buttons should be! Truly poor programming. If the quality of the skin indicates the quality of what is BEHIND, then I wonder!

I revert back to PDFTools, which is free, and without bugs.

Tested it three times by trying to combine 2 separate PDF documents. Each time it opened the output folder and each time it had not combined my files, or even made a new file. I tested it twice with password protected PDFs, and once without password protection.

Thumbs down. Pity, it had decent potential. I also feel that $29 is way too much for such a basic program that doesn't even function

My PC: Windows XP (32 bit) Service pack 3

Very poor app with an ugly interface even if pretty useful especially for those like me working with PDfs on a daily basis...

...but.... 30$ for doing just one thing?? Come on... simply crazy!

....isn't it true that these freeware apps do the same thing and much more for FREE??

Personally I prefer a tool (why not FREE & PORTABLE??) capable of doing the opposite operation, namely to split a multi-page PDF file to several PDF pieces in order to transfer or save some private info pages, rather than copy&paste the content:

And how about attach any file (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio document or Microsoft Publisher document) to your existing PDF document for FREE?

Or just generate PDFs from a group of images files (for instance scanned lecture notes)??

And what if you could protect your new PDF files as only professional gurus usually do, kissing online thieves goodbye for FREE??

But if you are looking for a more comprehensive and professional PDF utility solution, then look no further....

Yes, it's true...with Giovanni wandering around, even the PDF utilities "field" looks like pretty much SATURATED nowadays, meaning there's no need to pay anything anymore (and GAOTD like this are useless if they don't have additional features to offer...): get the drift, dudes? LOL!

After combining the file by default goes to C:\output folder... but folder is empty after 2 successful try.
Where is the output .pdf file?

The price point on this software is (to be blunt) set ridiculously high for what amounts to nothing more than a single "feature".

There are many free and/or open source alternative programs out there that not only offer the ability to merge, but also burst, rotate, re-order, etc. . This program isn't worth the price of a used gum wrapper.

In the meantime. . .folks. . .here's a site with a great list of various Free pdf related applications that will allow you to merge files and much more.

(note: not all apps are full-featured with free licenses. read the info on each)


PDFforge also now has the free PDF Architect to compliment their great free PDF Creator Application (virtual PDF printer).

http://www.pdfforge.org/

For more advance users, xpdf over at Foolabs is worth checking out.

http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html

and finally for those that aren't afraid of getting a few virtual paper cuts tackling command line programs and doing batch file creation. . .there is also the swiss army knife of pdf manipulation - PDFTK.
