'''PDFsam Basic''' or '''PDF Split and Merge''' is a [[Free and open-source software|free and open-source]] [[cross-platform]] desktop application to split, merge, extract pages, rotate and mix [[Portable Document Format|PDF documents]]. PDFsam uses a [[freemium]] model and encourages buying the full version with popups.

== The distributionDistribution system ==

'''PDFsam Basic''' is a desktop application freely accessible both as [[source code|source]] and [[Compiler|compiled]] code. It is available as ''a [[Windows Installer|MSI]] package'' for [[32-bit]] and [[64-bit computing|64-bit]] [[Microsoft Windows|MS Windows]], ''[[Apple Disk Image|.dmg]]'' for [[macOS]], [[Deb (file format)|.deb package]] for [[Debian]] based [[Linux]] distributions, and ''ZIP bundle'' for the [[power users]]' convenience.

== Functionalities ==

* Merge PDF files selecting entire documents or subsections of them. It provides a number of settings to let the user decide what to do in case the original PDF files contain [[AcroForms|Acro Forms]] (Acrobat forms) or an outline (bookmarks[[bookmark]]s) and it can generate a [[table of contents]], normalize [[page size|pages size]] and [[page margin]]s and add blank pages.

*Split PDF files in a number of ways:

** After every page, even pages or odd pages

Line 32:

** By [[bookmark]] level

** By size, where the generated files will roughly have the specified size

* Rotate PDF files where multiple files can be rotated, either every page or a selected set of pages (i.e. Mb).
