PDFMergeNX Version 2.0 for eComStation (OS/2)
Download
PDFMergeNX is
an
application to manipulate PDF files in various ways. Currently it can be used
to
- Merge
PDF/PS[/TIF/FAX/JPEG/many other image formats] plus plain text files
- Split PDF/PS
files into single pages
- Print PDF/PS
files
- View
PDF/PS files (builtin
Mini-PDF/PS-Viewer)
- Compare
(text) content of 2 PDF/PS files (using
Araxis PMDiff)
- Extract PS
files from PDF files
- Flip pages
upside down
- Add
bookmarks (currently it cannot extract
already present
bookmarks)
- Add and
update PDF metadata such as title,
subject, author,
keywords
- Rearrange
pages
- Load/save (broken in Beta.4, fixed in post-beta.4
builds)
listfiles to add sets of PDF/PS files
at once
- Extract text
from PDF/PS files
- more
features to be added.
PDFMergeNX
already has
- various
options (page alignment, import bookmark headings etc.)
- national
language
support (English
default, German and (outdated) Dutch included)
- a
simple builtin
distiller (based on
GhostScript, cannot do bookmarks)
- support for
ePDF as distiller
(required if either bookmarks should be created, or the output should
be
encrypted, or a background watermark should be applied).
- scripting
support: The latest testbuild has builtin support for REXX plugin
scripts (2 at the moment). Using this you can add custom functionality,
automate several tasks, create macros. The complete PDFMergeNX
environment is available within the scripts. An example script is
included, however documentation is rudimentary. Please ask me if you
intend to create script,I will provide the necessary documentation upon
request.
- Note: Simple
errors in scripts will crash PDFMergeNX (no error handler yet!)
- Scripts must
be named script1.cmd and/or script2.cmd
PDFMergeNX provides a graphical user
interface (Screenshot) and acts as glue
between GhostScript,
XPDF
3.02 package (GCC edition) and ePDF
(these all must be
installed as a prerequisite).
Note:
Post-beta.4 builds of PDFMergeNX require XPDF 3.02 (GCC-Edition),
because it is the only XPDF package that comes with pdftoppm.exe, which
is used in post-beta.4 builds.
The latest drop from 2010-11-18 has the
most annoying errors of previous builds fixed and the usability of the
"Add many PDFs" was slightly enhanced.
PDFMergeNX is still under
development (although slow), feedback of all kinds is appreciated.
