Good but problematic PDF merger

It may seem like a program for merging PDF files is not something a person will ever likely use. However, that is not necessarily the case. There can be a whole load of reasons why a person might need to merge their PDF files. For example, it is a good way of sending PDF files without having to go through the trouble of compiling them into folders and compressing them into ZIP files. You'll also be able to view your files in one continuous way without having to pause and open a new one. You can merge PDF files by going to your word processors, but Free PDFMerge by Free PDF Solutions offers an easier and more convenient process.

Problematic Interface

A lot can be said regarding the installation and interface of the Free PDFMerge. When it comes to into, it's incredibly fast and easy. There were no additional processes and downloads required to be able to get the program up and running. This is such a great thing since this program is all about convenience and efficiency. This program definitely delivers on both those points with flying colors.

The interface of this program is simple. Just by looking at it, you will be able to understand how it functions. All of the most important processes are presented in large buttons. It's also helpful that the language that the program is in very simple language that most people will understand. Unfortunately, it does look a bit cartoonish and unprofessional. This is a matter of preference, of course, but the way the colors interact with each other along with the largeness of the buttons make it look really juvenile.

Functional with Problems

In terms of what it set out to do, the Free PDFMerge does do a pretty good job. It merges PDF files with speed and efficiency. The output file doesn't have any noticeable problems with it. Therefore, if all you really require is to merge PDF files then it should do the job.

However, there are some problems with it that could affect the experience of the users. For example, whenever the conversion process is finished, the program provides no notification or any other indication that the process is completed. I am sure that users will also complain about the fact that they cannot set the name of the output file after conversion. The users will end up with randomly assigned names. This can be confusing once you accumulate a large number of files with practically the same name. There are also some typographical errors in the program which only needed a little it more proofreading to fix. These are all little things but if you absolutely can affect the user's experience.

Good Overall but Has Obvious Problems

There's no denying that this program is functional. However, it does have a lot of problems that could cause users to have a negative opinion towards it. It is still good if you really need a PDF merger, though, so go ahead and give it a try.
