'''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&nbsp;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 from the [http://pdfsam.org project's page] 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&nbsp;Windows]], ''[[Apple Disk Image|.dmg]]'' for [[Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;XmacOS]], [[Deb (file format)|.deb package]] for [[Debian]] based GNU/[[Linux]] distributions, and ''ZIP&nbsp;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 36 ⟶ 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).

* Extract pages from multiple PDF files

* Mix PDF files where a number of PDF files are merged together, taking pages alternately from them

* Save and restore of the workspace

== Architecture ==

PDFsam Basic reliesis onwritten in [http://sejda[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[JavaFX]].org/ PDFsam Basic relies on Sejda SDK], an open source and task oriented Java library to edit PDF files and [https://github.com/torakiki/sambox SAMBox], a [[PDFBox]] [[Fork (software development)|fork]].

== Requirements ==

PDFsam Basic is written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[JavaFX]] and requires a working [[Java Virtual Machine]] [[Java version history#Java_SE_8|version 8 or above]] installed in the [[operating system]] in order to run.
