Free PDF Merge is a program that can merge PDF files together into one file. Instead of going through multiple PDFs or compressing them into one file, this creates one cohesive PDF file with all the documents together. You can even choose the order of files so that it merges how you want it to.

Basic Features

Free PDF Merge is a fairly basic program with one main feature. As the name suggests, this program is able to merge PDF files together into a single document. The original PDFs will remain in their folders, so you don't have to worry about them being erased or altered after merging them.

Using this program is very easy. Open it and select the PDFs that you wish to merge. Be sure to check the order of your list because it will be merged in this order. You can remove PDFs from the list or change their order to match your needs. Click the "Merge" button and it will immediately merge the files together.

Fast Processing

One of the advantages of Free PDF Merge is that it's incredibly fast. You should barely notice any lag even if you're merging many large PDFs together. Most merging projects only take a few seconds to one minute to complete. This is great because you won't have to spend forever waiting for the program to work. Just select the order and Free PDF Merge will do the rest in seconds.

Saving Issues

Most programs like this allow you to choose a specific destination for saving your files. They also tend to let you choose the merged document's name so that you can easily find it. While you are able to choose the output folder for the merged document, there are problems with naming the file.

You cannot change the file's name until after the merging is done. You will do this by finding the file in the folder and then changing the name like with any other document. This is a little annoying because it can be easy to lose the file unless you immediately rename it. The default names are usually just a random combination of letters and numbers.

While this problem is easy enough to get around, it's also annoying and requires you to do extra work.

Interface

The user interface has its pros and cons. It's very easy to use. There are only several functions to choose from and they are represented by large buttons. Not only are the buttons clearly labeled, but they are also color-coded so that you can tell what they do. The green button adds files while the red buttons remove either one or all files.

On the downside, there are misspellings and the wording is awkward. This isn't a massive issue, but it does have a jarring effect when you notice this. Many people have a hard time trusting small programs like this when there are spelling errors. The program works well, but it could have been looked over a little better.
