PDFHammer – Edit, merge, reorder PDF files online

Posted on February 10, 2008 at 6:42 am

Looking for free software to edit pdf files and documents easily? If you want a desktop application for doing this, you can download Foxit or PDF-Xchange, two free programs that allow you to view and edit PDF documents. However, they are still applications that need to be installed onto your computer.

If you simply need to re-arrange pages, delete pages, or merge two PDF documents together into one, then it’s kind of overkill to have to install an entire application to do that!

One cool website you could check out for your PDF editing needs is PDFHammer. You can use this handy little website to edit your PDF files online for free! You don’t have to install any software on your computer and you can edit the PDF documents right inside your browser.

To get started, click the Start Now button and then click the Browse button to find the PDF file you want to work with. Click Upload to bring up the pages in the browser window. At any time, you can upload another PDF file and it will load the pages for that file into the browser window. You could then re-arrange the pages to combine the multiple PDF files any way you like.

All of the different PDF files show up as a list on the left hand side and are color coded so that you can easily see which pages are from which document. You can use the buttons at the top, Move To Beginning, Move To End, Move Forward, Move Backward, and Delete to re-order the pages.

Once you are finished with your document, click the Export Final PDF button and PDF will process the new file and generate a new PDF file that you can download.

Your newly generated file can now be viewed by any compatible PDF reader or any other PDF manipulating tool.

PDFHammer only allows you to reorder, delete or merge PDF documents together at this point. They are including a couple of more features soon, such as the ability to rotate pages and the ability to add watermarks and stamps to pages.

PDFHammer is a simple and free way to edit PDF documents online without having to install any software. Great for office use or for the casual PDF user. Enjoy!

Wow, just what I was looking for – are you reading my mind?

One of our clients wanted me to edit a PDF patient form and I was deciding how to go about it.

Lucky me – I found this post among so many other gems of information on your site.

Thanks!

I am facing an issue. No matter what file I browse to upload, it always uploads the first file and adding to project.
I want to merge few independent pages into one PDF file but not able to select 2nd file.

I heard that this one works pretty well: http://PDFfiller.com
Does anyone use it?

This tool is OK, but doesn’t have many features. I would recommend PDFEscape instead. You can edit a PDF file and fill out a PDF form, which is a lot more helpful.

Another good one is Touch PDF. It’s free and it lets you edit a PDF, split a PDF or merge PDF files.

Another good PDF editor is Nitro PDF, it has all the features of Adobe Acrobat Professional, but it’s a lot cheaper. I use it at the office and it’s great, but it’s not free.
