Desktop Free PDF Mergers

In the market, there are many software developers who developed programs for us to merge PDF files. However, most of them are not free. After searching for the Internet for a long time, I finally found 2 tools which are totally free.

1. PDFBinder

This is a simple tool that lets you merge any number of PDF documents into one, without having to resort to slow, user-unfriendly, expensive software. Just click Add file button to import PDF files, then click Bind! button to start merging. Select an output folder to save the merged file. A visual progress bar on the bottom will show you how much is done. After merging, the resulting PDF will be automatically opened.

System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista/Win7

I tested PDFBinder on my computer (Windows 7), This smart program does work without any problems. And the installation is very fast.

2. PDFill PDF Tools

This free tool has nice, clean user interface. It covers most functions, including merge PDF, split PDF, rotate or crop PDF pages, add watermark, convert JPEG images to PDF, add PDF information, and more. This program is not stand-alone, because it required Adobe Reader and GhostScript installed. And please note, PDFill PDF Tools comes bundled with PDFill PDF Editor, which is not free.

System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista/Win7

I tried PDFill PDF Tools on my computer (Windows 7). The installation is very, very slow. One think I don't like is that it is automatically bundled with PDF Editor.
