PDF Merge & PDF Splitter + App Reviews

It does what it says it does.

I took one star off simply because I would gladly pay $5.00 for the app to rid myself of the ads. It makes the app look and feel a little hoakey. However, as for functionality, this app is perfect. There are ways to merge through Preview, but it is cumbersome. This app makes it easier than any program (including the paid for Adobe PDF program itself) I have experienced. I will add the final star when the interface is a little more clean and bereft of ads (even if it means that I pay for an upgrade).

This app did exactly what it said it would and it was a lifesaver!! Highly recommend to anyone that needs to compile/combine pdf documents.

I opened the app. I dragged in my two files. Clicked Start and before I could even think about how long it might take…it was done! Amazing. I purchased the Corel product for $50 and couldnt get it to work properly. It kept altering my files. A headache. Cant believe this was so simple and EZ! Thank you!!!

...then more power to you.

very useful

Thank you so much, it’s just what I needed!

I dont usually write reviews, but this app deserves it. It does exactly what is says, and very quickly. It takes less than 10 seconds for me to combine upwards of 500 PDFs. If you need to combine many PDFs, and only that, do yourself a favor and download this app.

Honestly, the app does one simple thing. I feel like any app writer could do it. But the UI is terrible. I’m probably just being picky. But I needs to be redone. Then i’ll give it a 5 star.

Already good enough for such a free app

Does exactly what it advertises and peforms much better than alternatives. For the price: priceless.

I had been using Mac Finder to merge multiple PDF’s but it seemed like too many steps were involved so I looked and found this app. This works perfectly for what I need (combining Quickbook reconcilations and bank account PDF’s) and was super quick and easy! I highly recommend! It looks as though it was designed in 1997 but it works greats and it’s free so you can’t really complain!

So this is by far one of the ugliest applications I have ever encountered on Mac OSX. Design was clearly not on the developers mind. However, (and that’s a big however) it does work pretty well and it doesent put stuff on the merged pdf’s (like a watermark or something). Works just great for merging.

I’m always having problems merging pdf’s. There’s always some reason or another why one won’t merge. But you just literally drag and drop and move each PDF to where you want it and you’re done. You can even set what pages to include. I thought this would take at least 10 minutes (usually does) but it was done perfectly in less than a minute. And I never write reviews, that’s how impressed I am with this app! Thank you!

After the upgrade to Yosemite for some reason merging PDFs using Preview didn’t seem to work. I found this and it’s great.

I rarely write reviews but feel compelled to praise PDF Merger Free. I’ve been consistently frustrated with the Mac’s native ability to merge PDFs through Preview - it’s clunky, inconsistent, and non-intuitive. The opposite is true for PDF Merger Free: it’s simple, consistent, and very intuitive. I had a 700 page, multi-file project that would have taken a long, frustrating time to complete with Preview. This app completed it in moments with no headaches. Well done. My only suggection (not a criticism) is that the presentaion within the app feels dated and not terribly attractive. The UI is fine; but the appearance is average. Most importanty, as I said, it works as advertised. And the price is right! Thank you.

Works fine to combine PDF documents, and the drag-and-drop interface is nice to use though not so nice to look at. For times when the text of the PDF will need to be copied/pasted or extracted (job seekers - this means online HR / job application systems where you submit your resume) the text comes out corrupted, like this: Dear%Sir%or%Madam:%%I%see%that%you%are%growing,%and%that%can%some8mes%present%challenges%in%terms%of% ge<ng%so=ware%working,%in%the%8me%available,%to%meet%business%goals.% I can’t take off too many stars, since Preview (that comes with MacOS) has the same problem.

Evidently this app previously didn’t leave a watermark on scanned pages. This is no longer the case. There’s now a large wide yellow stripe/block across the center of every single page. I suppose this lets you test its function and see if you want to purchase the “real” version, but the absense of this information in the description shows me deceipt and for that it gets one star.

Seems like a solid if funky looking app. I’ll buy the paid version for sure if it’s this solid.

It couldn’t be easier than this to combine multiple pdf pages in one document. Drag and drop. Click save. Using Apple’s Preview application, it’s next to impoossible to combine pages, no matter what Apple Support says … Preview fails again and again to merge pdfs, but PDF Merger Free is SIMPLE and FAST! :) Thank you so much for developing this app!
