The split function allows dividing a PDF file at given page numbers, bookmarks levels, or into files of a specified size. Users can also extract pages from PDF documents and rotate pages individually or across the entire file.\n\nThe mix feature is particularly useful for users with single-sided scanners, as it enables merging PDF files by taking pages alternatively from one and the other. PDFsam Basic's open-source nature ensures that users' PDF files remain private on their own computers, without the need to upload them to a third-party service.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/4030a77e-6182-43fd-8e37-4bf59490e532.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2077125/pdfsam-basic","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2077125/pdfsam-basic#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.4,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":56},"operatingSystem":"Apple, Windows"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"PDF Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1323/pdf/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"PDFsam Basic","position":3,"item":"/software/2077125/pdfsam-basic","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2077125/pdfsam-basic#breadcrumblist"}]}
