Does anyone know of software can compile pages from PDFs into one documents, like for example if I wanted pages 2-5 of one PDF, then pages 4-10 of another PDF, and the page 5, 7, 20 of another PDF to be joined into one PDF.

I know can print them and scan them back to a PDF, but that would create a larger file and lose text search ability. I think I can also do it with a PDF printer, like BullZip PDF, and continuously append the file, but I'm not sure that would retain text search, and it would be difficult to manipulate the file to add additional pages as needed.

Adobe Standard can do that. I'm not sure about any freeware that might work.

PDFZilla will convert PDF files to Word doc and PDF Complete will convert Word doc to PDF. All freeware.

PDF edit995 is freeware used it for years. Probably need to down load pdf995 as well. can pay small fee to get rid of adverts.

Also lets you convert pdf to images and lots of other nifty ideas.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have PDF995, but not PDF995edit, I'm going to check out that and the other suggestions here.

I have Nitro PDF Creator. It works pretty good for the basic editing that I do on PDF files.

They have a free either 15 or 30 day trial period. I think the cost was around $120. It was worth it in my opinion.
