Hi everybody,
I just released the new package of the ICEpdf thumbnail generation library containing the new version 4.0 of ICEpdf. You can download it here and find instructions on how to plug it in pdfsam here.
Enjoy.
Hi,
I just released the Mac OS X dmg archives version 2.1.0 and 2.1.0e. Here is a small guide to install and set java 6 as a default java version on your Mac.
Hi everybody,
I just released the new version of basic and enhanced pdfsam. In this version almost all the libraries have been update, 6 bugs have been fixed, the new docinfo plugin has been added to the enhanced version (this plugin can be used to set metadata of the document like author, title, etc..) and some feature request has been implemented (DnD support on *nix systems, save/restore of the GUI settings when closing/opening pdfsam and saving the environment will save informations about the selected plugin).
I also created a thumbnails generation library using ICEpdf. This library can be pluged and used as thumbnails generation engine instead of the default JPodRenderer generation library, check this HowTo if you want to try it.
The Mac OS dmg distribution will be ready soon.
Hi everybody,
In about 2 weeks I’ll release the new version of pdfsam, I updated the translation template here so, if you want to contribute and translate pdfsam in your language, you have about 2 weeks.
Thank you

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy
Andrea
