I have been trying to install the program on my MacBook Pro running High Sierra (10.13.6), but the installer says I need 10.15 or higher. I tried a few older versions, but they so far have the same limit. So I was wanting to know what is the most recent version that supports macOS 10.13? Thanks in advance.

I fully understand your position. I've stayed with XP due to being used to the workflow (I have it looking and working like Win2K). I tried to make Win7 look/work like Win2K, but wasn't able to sadly (got close, but the explorer boxes wouldn't behave). I hate change just for the sake of change, and I feel MS did just that (Win8 getting rid of Start button for a well known, and hated, example). I just don't like the idea that the steering wheel in my car appearing in different locations, or swapping...

Great solution idea! Not the most elegant - but it works! I did the 50% JPGs (doing 470 files 15 at a time didn't sound fund, but doing 100 at a time seem more manageable). I ended up using a different merging program called PDF Merge Tool (also on SourceForge). PDFSam was acting super buggy. If I de-maximized the screen and moved it to my other monitor, when I re-maximized it it would lock up. When I didn't do that and just tried the program when I clicked the merge button it immediately went up...

Oh, that is disappointing to hear. So basically with the WinXP version a person is stuck with making PDFs that are under 300MB? I guess that explains why when I tried to import a 700MB pdf a few days ago it crashed. I thought it was an issue with the PDF itself. I really hope you would reconsider, and at least fix this 300MB limitation - as I'm sure you will agree that is quite low. Regardless, thank you for your time and help thus far - and also the very rapid responses!

This time I tried a test with the images being 25% smaller. So sizes were 2180x1702 at 600K. Completed the task, getting all 470 images (274MB total). The Private Bytes got to 1,309,164K and the Working Set got to 1,140,584K. But sadly at this size the images are very poor :(

If you want, I can create a new ticket to address the "many instances" issue.

Another I noticed is that when you quit the program (even with no crash) it doesn't get removed from the Task Manager - it stays loaded. And if I start the program again it creates a new instances. So if I keep closing and opening the program it results in more and more instances being loaded in the Task Manager.

I decided to do a test with the images being 50% smaller. So sizes were 4360x3404 at 2.2MB. Got to 126 images (253MB total) this time, and the memory interesting climbed to 1,358,132K for the Private Bytes and 1,160,028K for the working set.
