PDF Split and Merge (also: PDFsam) is a platform independent OpenSource software for editing PDF files. A working Java installation (JVM) is required to run and use the PDF program. In addition to the classic use as a pure desktop application, there is also a portable version of PDFsam for the USB stick.
