I was always under the impression that GOTD offerings were available for 24 hours, or until the next day's offering was initialised.
I came to download PDF Combine at 08:40 GMT this morning and found it to have expired. The offer was notified to me yesterday at 10:48 GMT (about typical as my emails arrive between 10:48 and 11:05 based on the last 2 months).
Does this mean that our GOTD offers are available for less than 22 hours now?

This product is just a GUI front end to a 3rd parties pdf manipulation toolkit called pdftk-server that is hosted at:
https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/
From that page "It is also used by OEMs and ISVs to give their products the ability to manipulate PDFs. A commercial license is required to distribute PDFtk with your commercial product."
But I see no mention of the PDFtk.exe being licesned for redistribution or even credited as to be providing all the underlying processing!
The commandline driven pdftk.exe that is in the data subfolder of the installation folder has far more facilities than this GUI offers:
"PDFtk Server can:
Merge PDF Documents or Collate PDF Page Scans
Split PDF Pages into a New Document
Rotate PDF Documents or Pages
Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required)
Encrypt Output as Desired
Fill PDF Forms with X/FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms
Generate FDF Data Stencils from PDF Forms
Apply a Background Watermark or a Foreground Stamp
Report PDF Metrics, Bookmarks and Metadata
Add/Update PDF Bookmarks or Metadata
Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document
Unpack PDF Attachments
Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages
Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams
Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible)"
At https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ They also offer their own GUI in Free form that provides a bit more functionality than this: "PDFtk Free is our friendly graphical tool for quickly merging and splitting PDF documents and pages." or a paid for Pro version for only $3.99 that adds more: "Use PDFtk Pro to quickly split, merge, rotate, watermark, stamp and secure PDF pages and documents."
In summary the Free PDFtk GUI is better than todays giveaway and even PDFtk Pro is better than all their PDF products combined and cheaper than any single one of them and almost certainly more legal too!

PDF Direct is freeware software that acts like a printer except rather than printing, it produces a pdf file of what you wanted to print. It was extremely handy before MSFT started adding this ability, but it works with ANYTHING you want to print. It also has the ability to combined pdf files.
I just don't understand why you would add PDF Combine (ie, any software that does 1 thing that can be found in more flexible software)... the more apps you add, the less stable your computer.

This software does not to merge files as it says.
I can only make it concatenate files.

Just downloaded and installed on W10 machine. Had to have two goes at entering the registration key, but after that, all worked perfectly and very intuitively, with some very large files perfectly combined.
Recommended.
Thank you!

An easier prog to do this is available for free called PDF Binder,I've been using it for years!
Save | Cancel
Grandpappy,
uBlock Origin blocks PDF Binder from downloading because of "Badware risks". Not sure exactly what that means, but enough for me to stay away from the current download of it.

Since on their homepage there are 2 different files/ download pages, 1 for Mac and 1 for Win, how is this 1 file for both? Or is this Mac only?

C N,
It lists PDF Combine for PC; PDF Combine for MAC. Why does it matter to you if it does it in one file or 2?

Installed with Windows 10. Tested by combining 7 files that were joined correctlly. Instructions were brief "HOW TO COMBINE PDFS - Click Add button to add your PDF files to the file list, and then click the Combine Now button to start the task.
Drag & Drop: - You can simply drag and drop PDF files to the file list directly and click the Combine Now button.
How to Set Output Path: - Click the left bottom Output Path link to change the output folder. Default output path is "C:\Ouput\" folder." and may be hard to find. I would suggest Developer include directions as a read file with the download.

Is the portable version included today or it is a paid for only program?

I checked out a couple of reviews of this online and they said good things about it so I downloaded it. No trouble downloading, installing or entering the registration key.
I've not investigated beyond the basic combine function, but that worked without a problem as it says on the tin.
Definitely a keeper, a useful tool to have. Thank you GOTD and thank you developers.

Steve, I voted yes because your comment was straightforward and sensible. 3 negative comments had to be from folks who dislike the program. Please, anyone, if you don't like a GOTD offering, don't dis a poster, enter your own post.

Steve, I was able to 'combine' two separate PDF files. It does what it claims.

Installer's default installation location is "c:\PDFCombine", just so if anyone wants to install it to program files directory.
I dropped 2 files onto it and clicked combine,,after that my system hung, well, it happens sometimes, but for a few moments, this time the system was barely responsive for a few minutes, then I managed to open Process Lasso and terminate that process, the system gained responsiveness immediately, phew, no, I don't want to use it anymore.

Evgeny, System is Win 10 64.
Could it be because i put too big pdf files, one is 64, another is 158 mb, or its Windows 10 incompatibility, or it just a poor Mac to Windows port, cause it seems to be a Mac program, I have no idea, but you may not have the same problem i had.
Save | Cancel
Evgeny, do you have a single core CPU? If so then any badly behaved single thread could bring the whole system to its knees easily... if you have dual or more cores then your describing a particularly nasty bug!

Well,
The home page says it is for the mac.
The documentation is non existent, no tutorials, no screen shots, no detail.
Is there a reason for this? Acrobat allows you to add pages, remove pages, reorder pages
merge files, separate documents into files.
It would seem, though hard to tell, is for folks who don't have full Acrobat or one of the free or low cost alternatives.

This would be a keeper. But it don´t install, my antivirus blocks setup.exe. See http://wikisend.com/download/760300/antivirus-alert.jpg (and see a href="http://www.avira.com/en/support-threats-summary-product?tid=8670&threat=PUA%252FInstallCore.Gen7&track=1" title="details">description). Pitty...

henrich, on that page you link to is a further linked page:
http://www.avira.com/en/potentially-unwanted-applications
that defines behaviours that get programs flagged as PUA's but reading through the definition the only offending behaviour I can see that is undeniable is the default behaviour at the end of an installation to add favorites and the end user has to deselect the options to avoid the bookmarks being added to browsers. That is covered by the offending behaviour:
"Changing browser settings / behavior
Does the installation flow of the software change any user settings, default settings (for example, default search engine, default homepage, default browser, bookmarks) or profiles without the user’s explicit consent?"
Installation flow does not require the users explicit consent to add bookmarks, it requires the users explicit disagreement to avoid them! Wouldn't it be funny if all these so called false positives are just because the GAOTD Setup.exe wrapper defaults to adding bookmarks!
Save | Cancel
TK, thanks for your suggestion and explanation.
But it would be better to avoid PUAs in setup files.
And I am not sure if it is only GAOTD setup wrapper as other installations runned withut problems...

Phil Kennedy,
Before I download and install this program, I would appreciate if you could specify which Windows OS are you using. I just might skip this offer. Thanks in advance.
