And it's open source and completely free.

Features

ScreenshotPDFTK Builder is a pdf manipulation utility for Windows with a great array of features including:

  • Collate - allows you to rearrange (reorder, delete, & duplicate) pages in a single document and/or merge pages from multiple PDF documents.
  • Split - allows you to separate each page of a PDF document into its own file.
  • Background or Stamp - 'Background' enables you to add a background to each page in a document or just the first page. The 'background' (eg a company logo, or a 'draft' watermark) must be another PDF document (the first page of that document if it has more than one page). 'Stamp' is very similar to 'background' except that the 'stamp' is placed on top of the source document.
  • Rotate - 'Rotate' enables you to rotate a range of pages in a document.
  • Password Protection: The new document can be password protected (encrypted) by providing 'owner' and 'user' passwords. The 'owner' password does not stop users from reading the document, but it does restrict the actions that users can perform on that document - printing, copying, decrypting etc. Specifying a 'user' password will stop anyone without either 'user' or 'owner' passwords from opening and reading the document.

for the update. Could you tell me what you did to "improve the look of the interface" ?

I hacked it to enable xp themes so it looks better on xp and aero

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I thought we/you/someone had already done that for an older release but maybe it got lost in the updates. Thanks for your awareness!

Unfortunately, I cant do it as I dont know anything about programming, but we could certainly add a note to the page.

This might be a good project to port to Lazarus - it handles most Delphi code fairly well, and it's Open Source, as opposed to Delphi.

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
