Idea #12917: built in merging and splitting of pdf files

Written by nelson.blaha the 8 Sep 08 at 01:16. Related project: Evince Document Viewer. Status: New
Rationale
I don't imagine that it would be bloat to include "split" and "merge" options in the right-click menu for pdf files. PDF isn't going away anytime soon, and this would be an edge for Ubuntu. Someone has already done most of the work, all that's left is for it to be implemented into the default distro:

Sounds like something you would use a PDF editor for, not a PDF viewer.

I just use PDFSam, since it is Java it works fine. It is Java and FOSS, should be added to the repos.

vexorian,
You can make a request to include PDFSam in the repository.
