About

Every proposal, deck or report you send can win or lose a deal, and PDFTrackr tells you how it landed. Share it as a secure tracked link and see who opened it, which pages they read and where they stopped, with bots and email scanners filtered out so the numbers are real. The part worth paying for is Signals: who came back, who is genuinely engaged and who is worth a call now, plus a per-recipient verdict on whether a prospect read it and an alert the moment they open it or return. You also decide who can open a document at all: allow lists, block lists and a six-digit email verification code, alongside password, expiry, download control and watermarking. Free is complete: 500MB, full page-by-page analytics, 12-month history, virus scanning, no card. Pro ($9/month or $84/year) adds Signals, alerts, verdicts, CSV export, bulk links, folders and versioning, and every new account runs on Pro free for 14 days.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Can't think of a better tool for this simple purpose of merging. There's an equally useful looking splitter function that I haven't used for a long time.
  • PDFsam is okay to edit files as long as standards compliance is not a priority. The edit features work fine.
  • It's like any other PDF software on the market. You need to pay a premium for electronic signatures and editing of all things.
  • -Very intuitive interface -It's very quick and easy to split or merge PDFs -No ads on the free version, they don't push for premium
  • Free and open source. Merge PDF files together. Split PDF file or extract pages. Multi platform availability.

Cons

  • Worried it'll convert itself into a subscription based app.
  • It is impossible to print properly. As an example, duplex printing just does not work, and PDFsam manages to mess this somehow by taking control of the print driver even if the printer is hard-set to duplex printing. The only working solution I found is to use a different program to print the pdf after editing it with PDFsam.
  • Buying a license is an absolute nightmare. They claim the license is $19.99 lifetime and as soon as you pay it turns into a subscription of $100 a year, no refunds. They start to add additional services randomly, and charge you, No customer service, I had to get my bank to put a stop payment, I had selected a basic plan and they had tacked on additional plans without my approval.
  • There are honestly no cons for me, PDFSam does what it must. It would be great if the converter tool would also be free, but I understand they have to make money somehow with premium.
  • No editing or conversion feature - available in PDFsam enhanced which is paid.
