This software is very easy to use, it has a clean and intuitive interface with a powerful set of options to better organize my PDF files. The best feature is that I can manipulate large files very smoothly without any glitches or delays.

Some hideous Java thing that whilst ugly & clunky does seem to work for at least the basic functions that i tried it with. Works on MacOS 10.9 Go to Setting/Security & give the app permission in gatekeeper

This no longer works on 10.9. Starting it produces a dialog box stating it is damaged and cannot be opened and should be moved to the trash. I use it on 10.6.8 and came directly to 10.9 from there.

This worked where Preview did not. I had 10 pdf's to combine and Preview would not save them as a single PDF. Split and Merge did. On top of that the price is right. Great open source software.

Utterly fantastic! I love it when an app is this straightforward. Excellent work. Needed to merge two pdfs - found the app, installed and performed the merge in under 5 mins. What more could one ask?

I have used PDF SAM for a couple of years now and have found it to be very useful and stable, although the GUI could not be called intuitive. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's a good standard for splitting and merging PDF documents. And it is very fast.

It does not let you open PDF files. Can only open an XML file. The GUI is non-intuitive and does not behave like any other application. I know it is because it is a Java application... however, I have seen much better Java applications. The menus are useless and there is no help. Don't waste your time with this app.
