PDFsam Basic or PDF Split and Merge is a free and open source cross-platform desktop application to split, merge, extract pages, rotate and mix PDF documents.

PDFsam Basic is a desktop application freely accessible from the project's page both as source and compiled code. It is available as MSI package for 32-bit and 64-bit MS Windows, .dmg for Mac OS X, .deb package for Debian based GNU/Linux distributions and ZIP bundle for the power users' convenience.

Merge PDF files selecting entire documents or subsections of them. It provides a number of settings to let the user decide what to do in case the original PDF files contain Acro Forms or an outline (bookmarks) and it can generate a table of contents, normalize pages size and add blank pages.
Split PDF files in a number of ways:
- After every page, even pages or odd pages
- After a given set of page numbers
- Every n pages
- By bookmark level
- By size, where the generated files will roughly have the specified size
Rotate PDF files where multiple files can be rotated, either every page or a selected set of pages
Extract pages from multiple PDF files
Mix PDF files where a number of PDF files are merged, taking pages alternately from them
Save and restore of the workspace

PDFsam Basic relies on Sejda SDK, an open source and task oriented Java library to edit PDF files and SAMBox, a PDFBox fork.

PDFsam Basic is written in Java and JavaFX and requires a working Java Virtual Machine version 8 or above installed in the operating system in order to run.
