Merge PDF files for free!!!

What: I don't know about you but I get annoyed with file clutter on my computer, in the cloud and any other place that I keep files. Sometimes this is due to having multiple PDF files that all pertain to the same topic. Have you ever dreamed of magically making all those individual PDF files into one file? What about doing it for free? PDF Merge provides a web tool that can complete this process for you in a snap.


1) Select the files that you want to merge into one single file. If you do not have enough blanks click the red plus sign to add more files.



2) Once you have all the files you want to merge into one file, click the Merge! button and let PDF Merge do the rest.

As I had previously mentioned, file clutter can be obnoxious. If you are looking for a way to organize your PDF files, PDF Merge can help. What about students? If students are doing a collaborative project and need to combine their PDF resources, PDF Merge can serve as a tool to combine all their files. 


PDF Split

What: Ever get a giant PDF packet only to find out you just want to keep one page out of the packet? PDF Split is a free web tool that will solve this problem for you. It is super simple. Select the file you want to split, choose the pages you want to split out and choose split. 


Step 1---Choose your file




Step 2--Specify your pages


Step 3---Split your page or pages out into a new file

If students find a resource for a project and need to extract a single page, they can use PDF Split to obtain the resource that they need. In addition, if the student needs to print out information from a PDF and only need one page, he/she can use PDF Split to save on printing out numerous unwanted pages. Teachers can use this resource to help separate files out of PDF files received from meetings. 

I have been using PDF Split to get pages out for my reading curriculum. I can download an entire unit's practice book pages into a single PDF file. However, there are times that I only want a couple pages to put into the SMART Notebook software. PDF Splits lets me extract only the pages I want.
