PDF Merge

PDF Merge is a software application designed specifically for helping you merge multiple PDFs into a single PDF file.

Simple looks

You are welcomed by a plain and clean GUI that empowers you to perform most of the operations with minimal effort. Everything is kept as basic as possible, so there’s support for only a few parameters that you can tinker with.
Files can be uploaded in the working environment using the built-in browse button, so you cannot rely on the drag-and-drop support.

How it works

PDF Merge gives you the possibility to build up a list with the PDFs that you want to combine and select all items or only the desired ones.
Basically, it proves to be nothing more than a piece of cake to work with this tool, as you only need to press on the “Merge PDF” button in order to trigger the merging process. What’s more, you need to specify the filename and pick the saving directory for the output item.

Performance

Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to set up the dedicated parameters, even less experienced users can learn to master the entire process in no time. Tests have shown that PDF Merge carries out a task quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

Where it falls short

On the downside, there’s no support for advanced parameters that could help you view extra details about each PDF file (e.g. size, file path, number of pages), work with password-protected PDFs, set up permissions for printing and editing, and select the pages from each PDF.

Bottom line

All in all, PDF Merge proves to be a simplistic application that comes bundled with limited features in order to help you merge multiple PDFs.
