### "Great for Remote Workers and Environmentally conscious businesses"

June 9, 2020

5.0

We use PDF sam to cut down on printing to compile or correct documents, and it is very user friendly.

Pros

PDFsam is very easy to use and allows me, as a remote worker, to compile multiple PDFs at once, or reorder/remove pages that are incorrect, or flip pages that are upside down when I receive them. It is very easy to use and has a myriad of other helpful tools.

Cons

The only function that PDFsam could add to make it a perfect software is to allow documents to be password protected when saving them. I currently do most of the work in PDFsam then have to add password protection through another program when I need the file to be secure.

### "Everyone should have this! "

July 15, 2021

5.0

Wonderful, I will continue to use this software for the rest of my life. It is a crucial tool to have.

Pros

This product is free! This is unbeatable in a space filled with virus-ridden and expensive alternatives. It is also easy to merge and split pdfs. This is great for submitting packages of documents and increasing professionality.

Cons

Sometimes you have to re-order uploaded documents to merge them in the correct order, but this is a minor inconvenience.

### "Unire PDF senza problemi "

February 3, 2023

5.0

Pros

È molto comodo il fatto di poter semplicemente con un drag and drop unire uno o più file. Consente un risparmio di tempo se si desidera stampare una serie di documenti che vanno a formare un unico fascicolo da distribuire a più persone.

Cons

È davvero basic, almeno nella versione gratuita.

### "PDFsam Basic Review"

February 6, 2020

5.0

Overall i have had a good experience with PDFsam and would definitely recommend to a friend who needs help with organizing.

Pros

Makes it very easy to keep all my music PDFs organized so that I can remember what type of music is in each file and I therefore have to do less work. It saves a lot of time i would be wasting if i didn't have the program.

Cons

The only complaint i have would be the cost of the product, I think it should cost a little less.

### "Simple, effective!"

March 19, 2020

4.0

It was overall quite a positive experience. It brings together functions of multiple types of software into one interface.

Pros

This software is very good for working with PDFs. It has a very easy-to-use interface, and allows for many functions with multiple PDF files.

Cons

It performs many of the same functions that Preview does on MacOS, and to get many of the best functions of this software, the paid version is needed.
