Dear all,

A colleague of mine asked me to ask if any of my ProZ colleagues know of a free or
relatively inexpensive program for merging PDFs. One of his customers regularly
sends four or five PDFs as reference material and merging them into one would save
him searching in each one separately. If anyone can help, that would be very much
appreciated.

All the best

Tansy

Free alternatives Jan 4, 2007

You can do it for free, check http://ktmatu.com/info/merge-pdf-files/, there is also a lot of shareware http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/free-pdf-merge.html. No particular experience but I guess a simple merge should be done properly by all programs.

Adobe Reader allows you to search Jan 4, 2007

... in the actual document
... in every PDF in a certain folder.

That is free!

pdf995 Jan 4, 2007

Dear Tansy,

I use PDF995 suite which is very simple and totaly free.
Please take a look at http://www.pdf995.com/
The truth is that "free versions display a sponsor page in your web browser each time you run the software"


I hope it will help.

Regards
Jan

relatively inexpensive, relatively not free ;) Jan 4, 2007

I've landed on NitroPDF, which as good as it gets in terms of cloning what I need in terms of Acrobat (not ~ reader, but its big bro). it's darn good for what I paid - I think it was 90 dollars.

That's right - so I don't quite get it - why use a separate tool when the free reader provides all the functionality this colleague needs...?
