I hope we will be ready with the visual modules soon but I think it will still require some time.Pros: Whilst the overall experience was rotten, this software allowed me to edit/combine the important PDF I needed at the time.

So I don’t think PDFsam Basic v3 is worse and has less features, it surely lacks the 2 visual modules for which you can use the web interface or wait for the new application once is ready, but I think it brings a lot of new PDF related and usability features. The sejda-console we provide now has tons of PDF tasks that the previous pdfsam-console didn’t have and all the visual features are available as a free web service through. There are also usability improvements to open results with the default reader, duplicate rows and others all around the application, all of them are implementations that were requested by the users and we added. Split by bookmarks provides an optional regex matching and split by size is now more accurate. It is true we removed the visual modules in v3 but it’s also true we added features… you can now discard AcroForms or bookmarks while merging, you can create a new bookmark tree with one entry for each merged file, you can merge AcroForm fields renaming them or add blank pages while merging.

That said we invested the past 2-3 years working on the new UI, the new PDF engine, the new command line tool () and the new web interface () to reach the point where we can offer A LOT of free features through the open source PDFsam Basic, sejda-console and the web interface. All the undergoing changes are done with the purpose of creating a sustainable business model for PDFsam so that we can provide a quality product and support, thing that we can’t do if we remain in the “spare time project” area. Hi, yes, we removed the visual modules and, I said that few times already, we are working on a new PDFsam version that will include the old visual modules plus many more (split, rotate, etc) and will probably require a small fee to buy it.
