PDFsam Basic

The application provides tools for manipulating PDF documents on the desktop. Users can split a PDF at specific page numbers, bookmark levels, or file‑size thresholds, and can also merge multiple PDFs while preserving page order, bookmarks, and interactive forms. Additional operations include extracting selected pages, rotating pages individually or in bulk, and mixing pages from two PDFs in an alternating sequence.

Designed for casual users, the software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and keeps all processing local, so files never leave the computer. It is released under an open‑source license and has been maintained since 2006, offering a stable core feature set without requiring an internet connection or external services.

The program’s interface presents these functions in a straightforward manner, allowing users to select source files, define the pages or ranges to act on, and output the resulting PDF. It is suitable for anyone needing basic PDF editing such as reordering, extracting, or combining pages without advanced editing or conversion capabilities.
