Tools to quickly merge & split PDF files

How to Use

Installing to the SendTo Menu

1. Download & open the latest .zip from the releases page

2. Open a file explorer window and type Shell:SendTo in the address bar (this will open the folder C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo)

3. Copy the scripts into the SendTo folder

4. Rename the shortcuts to what you would like them to show as in the SentTo Menu. I like to prefix the shortcut names with an underscore so they appear at the top (For example _MergePDF)

Usage

Bingo. Try it out on some PDFs by right clicking and choosing Send To > MergePDF/SplitPDF

Usage Notes

When using these MergePDF, bear in mind that no matter how you select the PDFs, the PDF you right click will be FIRST PDF in the new merged PDF! In other words, you need to right click whichever PDF you would like to be ordered first.

Compiling from Source

The Windows binaries are complied using the auto-py-to-exe python library. Install this first with pip install auto-py-to-exe, then run auto-py-to-exe and point to one of the scripts. Make sure the 'One File' option is selected, then hit convert.
