If you want to learn about PDF Split only, scroll half page down. In this article, we will discuss about PDF Merger first, and then PDF Splitter.

PDF Merger is a tool that helps to combine multiple PDF files together, e.g. you have 4 Separate PDF Files and you want to make it one, this is the best solution. PDF Merger tool will combine all 4 separate PDF files together, and will make it one.

I realize the importance of PDF merger when I had to send 6 documents of 2 persons (3 documents for each) to a service provider, and found the option to upload just 2 documents. I used one of the PDF Merger tool to combine all the documents of each person in one file. Now I had 2 files, and it was easy to send.

How PDF Splitter is useful?

I have a PDF file with many pages, and I want to remove one page from that file for any reason. In this case, I would use PDF Splitter to remove one page from the file, and will use PDF Merger to combine rest (if required). That’s it, and now the unwanted page is removed. It could also be useful when you want to send a certain page to someone from any PDF file.
