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.
PDFsam Basic 4.2.2 released
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:
- Application wide shortcut to execute the current task: Just press
CTRL + Xand the task will run. - The numerical sorting policy of the selection table has been improved to consider trailing digits, this means that
file 10.pdfwill appear afterfile 2.pdf - Default file name sorting is now locale sensitive and should yield better results (Ex. the
_character coming before other alphanumeric characters) - Moving rows manually clears the currently selected sorting policy
- You can now click on the column header to set a sorting policy and then add the files, the files will be added sorted
- Linux portable bundle is now a tar.gz and retains files permissions
As usual you can get it from the download page.

What is a PDF virtual printer?
A virtual PDF printer allows you to create PDF files from any other format. It is possible to convert a file into PDF simply by opening it with the relative program (wordprocessor, spreadsheet, text editor ..) and printing it as you would normally print it, except that instead of selecting a hardware printer you select the virtual PDF printer. This effectively creates a PDF version of the file that we printed via the virtual PDF printer. With this procedure, you can convert virtually any type of file to PDF format.
