Category: New release

Time has come, finally!
For those of you willing to test a highly unstable PDFsam v3 BETA release, here is the zip bundle. Few things worth mentioning:

• Only the zip bundle is available, no MSI, DMG or other installers yet
• It’s the first public and testable version, don’t expect it to be stable and production ready
• Workspace related functionalities are not yet implemented
• Visual modules are not yet implemented
• Feedbacks, ideas, suggestions are welcome
• It requires Java 8

Hi,
I just released PDFsam 2.2.4 where PDF rotate is fixed and works again. Please let me know if there is any issue with it.

Hi,
I had few unpublished changes on PDFsam 2.x so I decided to publish a new release. This is probably going to be the last 2.x release since v3 is getting closer and closer.
Let me know if there is any issue with it.

Hi,
I just finished to build the progress indicator I’ll most probably use in PDFsam v3 to display task progress for pdf merge, split etc. It’s a JavaFX control and, since it can be reused, I created a separated repository for it so people can clone it and do whatever they want with it. Here on GitHub.

Hello guys,
I finally found some time to release the new version of PDFsam. I want to apologize for the long delay but, as some of you may know, I worked hard on another project (Sejda) in the past year and PDFsam was left a bit behind. Release 3 is not coming out any time soon so I decided to release version 2.2.2 with fixes to some of the most annoying bugs. Among the others:

• Windows msi installation package supporting silent installation
• New pdfsam-starter.exe and finally no more “javaw.exe not found” error message
• Confirmation sounds are now working on Java 7
• No more “invisible GUI” and crappy “delete gui-config.xml” workaround
• Upgraded thumbnails generation libraries and langpack

As usual the new version can be downloaded here.
Please report back if you find any issue.
Enjoy

Hi everybody,
sorry for the late update but I finally added the MacOS dmg version of pdfsam 2.2.1 (basic and enhanced).

Hi everybody,
I released versions 2.2.1 basic and enhanced, available in the download section. In these release you’ll find some library upgrade (JPodRenderer, the thumbnails generation library, among the others) and some bug fixes (most important one bug affecting the bookmarks handling during the pdf merge and pdf split).
The ICEpdf thumbnail generation has been upgraded as well to the latest version.
MacOS dmg will be available soon.

Hi everybody,
I just released the new versions of PDFsam basic and enhanced. These releases are mainly focused on bug fixes and feature requests. Now the ImageViewer for the single pages preview has zoom in, zoom out and rotate capabilities, the alternate mix has a new option that lets you define the step for both the input documents, the pdf split module has been modified to better handle input files with a big bookmarks tree and should be now much faster splitting pdf with these kind of bookmarks. The user interface has been modified with accelerator keys, warning messages if the destination field is empty and the file chooser now remembers the previous path.
Enjoy.
