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.
