OutOfMemory tutorial

Hi everybody,
I updated the Wiki adding a simple tutorial on how to modify the amount of memory that pdfsam can use to minimize OutOfMemory errors.
Here is the link.

Upcoming release

Hi everybody,
more than 2 months have passed since the last release but the next one is almost ready. With the next version all the enhanced users will have a new plugin to set document metadata (Title, Author..). For both basic and enhanced I spent some time implementing requests about the user interface like drag and drop support on Linux, save and load environments that saves and restores the selected plugin and finally, after many requests since the beginning of this project, the user interface will be restored every time you open/close pdfsam, this means the main window size, position, the 2 split panels and the selected plugin.
I want to really thank all those users who supported pdfsam (fortunately a lot) with money, ideas, suggestions, emails etc… you keep me working on it with enthusiasm.

If you have the error message: PdfReader not opened with owner password

Hi everybody,
I want to remind you that if you want to split/merge a document and pdfsam gives you the message “PdfReader not opened with owner password” it’s because you must provide the owner password to be able to manipulate the document. If Acrobat Reader doesn’t ask you for a password it’s because it opens the documents in “view” mode, but split and merge are “edit” mode and, as the error message states, you must provide a owner password.

Website hacked

Hi everybody,
Friday evening I found that around 6 PM all the web applications of the pdfsam web space had been hacked. Some malicious code was injected into index pages and few others. I restored backup copies and updated to the last version of Wordpress, MediaWiki and phpBB so, hopefully, everything should be clean now, I however strongly recommend the users to change their forum password.

Finally 2.0.0 and 2.0.0e

Hi everybody,
I just released the first stable versions of the branch 2. The new 2.0.0 and 2.0.0e are available to be downloaded. You’ll find some bug fixes, the context menu to add complex prefixes, the rotate plugin, thumbnails with a slightly improved quality, plugins showed in alphabetical order and the new console command ‘pagelabels’ to set page labels on a pdf document.

Hi everybody,
I just want to inform you that pdfsam has celebrated its millionth download!

New 1.2.0 and 1.6.0e released

Hi everybody,
the new basic and enhanced releases are out. In these versions you’ll find the new rotate plugin to rotate pages, bug #2827318 fixed and the new context menu for the prefix field to add complex prefixes.
Enjoy

New pdfsam Wiki

Hi everybody,
The new pdfsam Wiki is online here and you can find it in the main menu (upper right). You can login with the same username/password you have for the pdfsam forum and you can contribute to make it bigger and better. It’s basically designed to provide a serie of HowTo regarding many different topics on pdfsam. Bigpaga will be the administrator so refer to him if you have some question about it.
Enjoy

Back on pdfsam

Hi everybody,
I finally found an apartment in Amsterdam (now I’ve to find a job) and I can work again on pdfsam. A new version will be probably released soon.

Unavailable for a while

Hi everybody,
tomorrow I’ll move to Amsterdam. I’ll relocate there with my girlfriend and I probably won’t be able to take care of pdfsam for a while. You can post on the forums if you have some problem but answers will probably come with some late.

Wish me good luck
Andrea
