Baby steps
Hi all,
I just want to show you I’m not as lazy as it might seem 
Ok I know a lot of stuff is missing but still.. baby steps.
Finally, new release!
Hello guys,
I finally found some time to release the new version of pdfsam. I want to apologise for the long delay but, as some of you may know, I worked hard on a couple of other projects (What A Cult and Sejda) in the past year and pdfsam was left a bit behind. Release 3 of pdfsam is not coming out any time soon so I decided to release version 2.2.2 with fixes to some of the most annoying bugs. Among the others:
- Windows msi installation package supporting silent installation
- New pdfsam-starter.exe and finally no more “javaw.exe not found” error message
- Confirmation sounds are now working on Java 7
- No more “invisible GUI” and crappy “delete gui-config.xml” workaround
- Upgraded thumbnails generation libraries and langpack
As usual the new version can be downloaded here.
Please report back if you find any issue.
Enjoy

New release 2.2.1
Hi everybody,
I released versions 2.2.1 basic and enhanced, available in the download section. In these release you’ll find some library upgrade (JPodRenderer, the thumbnails generation library, among the others) and some bug fixes (most inportant one bug affecting the bookmarks handling during the merge and split). You can find the complete list in the changelogs here.
The ICEpdf thumbnail generation has been upgraded as well to the latest version.
MacOS dmg will be available soon.

New pdfsam-starter
Hi everybody,
as some of you may already know by the forum, a couple of days ago McAfee antivirus reported an infection in the pdfsam-starter.exe. I’m sure it’s a false positive and I already reported it to McAfee attaching the sources of the pdfsam-starter hoping that they will fix this issue as soon as possible. In the meantime I released a patch containing a new pdfsam-starter.exe which fixes an issue on Windows 7 64bits (bug #3050730) and that McAfee likes more than the previous one. The patch can be found here, I also included the sources so anybody can check them or even compile the starter. I really hope to have a fast feedback from McAfee and I was also thinking about dropping the pdfsam-starter executable (that is the only Windows executable included in the package) in next releases, leaving there only the .bat script to avoid any further trouble with the wonderful world of Windows/Virus/AntiVirus.

Mac dmg archives for 2.2.0
Hi everybody,
finally I uploaded the new dmg archives for the 2.2.0 and 2.2.0e versions of pdfsam. You can find the link in the download section for the basic version and in the enhanced forums for the enhanced version.
Enjoy
New releases 2.2.0 and 2.2.0e available
Hi everybody,
I just released the new versions of pdfsam basic and enhanced. These releases are mainly focused on bug fixes and feature requests. Now the ImageViewer for the single pages preview has zoom in, zoom out and rotate capabilities, the alternate mix has a new option that lets you define the step for both the input documents, the split function has been modified to better handle input files with a big bookmarks tree and should be much faster now splitting these types of files. The user interface has been modified with accelerator keys, warning messages if the destination field is empty and the file chooser now remembers the previous path.
Enjoy.

Mac OS dmg archives
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.
Version 2.1.0 and 2.1.0e
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.
