    So far, PDF Arranger is the first completely free PDF document toolkit that allows me to merge various PDF documents and/or images and rearrange the pages in the resulting document. Just what I am looking for right now. Great. :)

    Older PDF Sam was great as a visual and fast tool to build 1 pdf from several by selection of the pages ; the free feature disapeared. Here PDF Arranger does exactly the same and is still as fast and free in 2021

    It is not free of charge (no subscription model, just a one-off license fee of around 75 €), but it has a multitude of functions, nothing is missing. It is a great tool for manipulating PDF files to your heart's content.
