Quick overview
PDF Merger & Splitter is a free Windows tool from AnywaySoft Inc. that helps you combine PDF pages into one document or separate them into multiple files. The program presents a minimal, beginner-friendly interface designed to make common page-management tasks straightforward.
How to use the app
Merging documents
- Add the PDF files you want to combine to the workspace.
- Choose the merge operation.
- Reorder pages by dragging thumbnails until they’re in the desired sequence.
- Save everything as a single PDF.
Splitting a PDF
- Open the PDF you want to divide.
- Use the page thumbnails to select which pages should be in each output (check the boxes for pages you want to extract).
- Select the split action.
- Export the chosen pages into separate files.
Interface and workflow notes
The software displays a grid of page thumbnails so you can preview and manipulate pages visually. Drag-and-drop makes reordering simple, and the selection checkboxes let you pick pages for extraction. These design choices keep the workflow accessible for users who work with PDFs occasionally or frequently.
Known limitations
Some users have reported that processed files occasionally include blank pages. This appears to be a sporadic bug rather than the intended behavior. Hopefully a future update will address this and improve overall reliability.
Bottom line
If you need a no-cost, easy-to-learn utility for merging or splitting PDFs on a PC, PDF Merger & Splitter is worth trying. It generally performs its core functions well, aside from the intermittent blank-page issue. Give it a try to see whether it fits your routine.
