Awesome job, that application is so useful and full of features. I was wondering if it is possible to rotate all Landscape pages (A4) to portrait and choose to rotate or leave A3 size ?
Hello,
My company just upgraded to version 5 of PDFsam basic, and it has lost its most useful feature, the visual composer (I use it in french so I am not sure of the english wording, it was the module where you could have multiple pdfs in one tab each, and arrange whatever page you wanted from whatever pdf in the order that pleased you, and alos rotate them). Is it me who did not find it, or has it really been deleted? In the latter case, is it possible to download the previous version of PDFsam basic ?
All the Visual modules have been moved to PDFsam Visual since version 3 of PDFsam Basic so you were probably using version 2.x of PDFsam Basic. Version 2 download link can be found in the download page.
