Without a doubt, PDFsam Basic will cover the vast majority of your needs when it comes to PDF documents. This open-source software allows users to split, mix, merge, and rotate PDF documents without any hassle whatsoever. PDFsam features make the software an excellent and free alternative to Adobe® Reader®. PDFsam not only addresses these limitations but does so in a convenient manner.Īdobe® Reader® allows users to access PDF documents for free but limits users from doing much else unless they cough up some cash. While PDF documents and Adobe® Reader® have proven to be godsends for many people, there are still a few limitations of Adobe® Reader® that are holding many users back from fully embracing PDF documents. Thanks to the growing popularity of PDF documents, compatibility is less of an issue because everyone can download Adobe® Acrobat Reader® DC and similar programs for free to access PDF documents. However, with the advent of PDF documents, fewer Internet users feel 'locked' into using Word. Accordingly, computer users often had no choice but to own Word to access any documents. In the past, most people opened and worked with documents in Microsoft® Word®.

Note: We list only the MSI installer version as the EXE version will ask if you would like to try the PDFsam Enhanced version which is, as the name suggests a more robust version of this software but you also need to buy it if you want to use it. The basic version is available for Microsoft® Windows®, Mac® OS X®, Linux, platform independent portable zip archive, as a command line interface and as a cloud service that you can use as a web application to perform PDF tasks in the cloud. It is a great alternative for those who need to perform basic PDF actions.
