Hello,
we released the new version 4.2.7 of our free and open source tool PDFsam Basic. In this new version we updated the underlying PDF engine with few bug fixes. PDFsam should now be able to better merge and split even corrupted PDF files but please let us know if you come across a document that we cannot process.
As usual you can download it from the download page
Enjoy!

The new version 4.2.6 of PDFsam Basic is out. In this version we upgraded all the translations and the bundled Java version to the latest 11.0.12. You can download it from the download page.
Enjoy!

We released the new version 4.2.4 of PDFsam Basic. We upgraded Sejda SDK version and the bundled JRE to version 11.0.11. We also fixed an issue in the selection table where sorting by file name could lead to unexpected results.
You can download the latest version from the download page.

We just released the new version 4.2.3 of PDFsam Basic where we upgraded Sejda, the PDF engine, to its latest version. We fixed in Sejda a couple of issues related to the softmasks defined in ExtGState resources. They could lead to a missing softmask in the Split and Extract pages tasks, in very specific cases.
You can download the latest version from the download page.

Hi,
we released PDFsam Basic version 4.2.2. In this version, beside the usual PDF engine, translations nad bundled JDK updates, we implemented a couple of changes requested by our users:

1. Application wide shortcut to execute the current task: Just press CTRL + X and the task will run.
2. The numerical sorting policy of the selection table has been improved to consider trailing digits, this means that file 10.pdf will appear after file 2.pdf
3. Default file name sorting is now locale sensitive and should yield better results (Ex. the _ character coming before other alphanumeric characters)
4. Moving rows manually clears the currently selected sorting policy
5. You can now click on the column header to set a sorting policy and then add the files, the files will be added sorted
6. Linux portable bundle is now a tar.gz and retains files permissions

As usual you can get it from the download page.
Enjoy!

We just released the new PDFsam Basic 4.1.2. The main goal for this release was to provide a notarized .dmg package for MacOS so we did that (and it wasn’t really straightforward). We also upgraded Sejda and SAMBox, the underlying PDF engines, to their latest versions. We fixed few bugs in there and we improved the merge of AcroForms in some edge cases.
