For all your .PDF needs
Are you sick of paper documents? Are you constantly dealing with .PDF documents? Do you know what PDF stands for? (Hint: Portable Document Format). In this article I’m going to introduce you to two free pieces of software that I use regularly. One of them acts as a virtual printer and allows you to turn anything you can normally print into a .PDF document instead. The other tool allows you to merge and split PDF documents - handy for turning two or more separate .PDFs into one, or vice-versa. Read more...
Are you sick of paper documents? Are you constantly dealing with .PDF documents? Do you know what PDF stands for? (Hint: Portable Document Format). In this article I’m going to introduce you to two free pieces of software that I use regularly. One of them acts as a virtual printer and allows you to turn anything you can normally print into a .PDF document instead. The other tool allows you to merge and split PDF documents - handy for turning two or more separate .PDFs into one, or vice-versa.
The first tool is Bullzip PDF Printer. It is a Windows-only piece of software and can be downloaded from the Bullzip PDF Printer website here (4.5 MB). Note that during the installation process it requires two other components (approximately 9 MB and 2 MB) that it will download and install as well. The process should take less than a couple minutes. Now you’re ready to go!
Now what about when you have multiple .PDF documents that you want to merge? The other free tool that I use pretty regularly is PDF Sam Split and Merge. This open-source project was built using Java, so it’s available for both Windows and Mac users. You can download the PDFSam Basic (which has plenty of utility-- no need to get the enhanced version) from the PDFSam download page here (14 MB).
