I've started building a library of unit tests. If you have any suggestions for improvements please feel free to contirbute ideas.

This release includes a single executable portable version that can be used without installing. This should work on linux distribitions that support .NET. If you are using it on linux please send some feedback and let me know how it worked out.

A fix was made to allow use of semicolon separated page lists like "1;3-4".

As always source code is included, so feel free to download and make your own improvement. Feedback and comments are welcome.

Finally, the output file name is now stored along with the merge list, to make it easier to repeat the same merge operation.... read more

PdfMerge improved for use with Acrobat 8 files by incorporating the latest PdfSharp Library (version 1.20). The PdfMerge GUI was improved to show bookmark levels more clearly. An issue with language resources in the installer was fixed.

A new GUI was added which allows PdfMerge to read and write command definitions in XML format. Unicode characters are now supported for bookmarks.

Both an installer for end users and full source code is available.

The source code was ported to VS2008.

PdfMerge just added to SourceForge!!
