Windows – How to combine PDF documents from Windows Explorer on Windows 7

pdfwindows 7windows-explorer

In Windows Explorer I would like to select 2 or more PDFs, right click, and choose an option which will merge the selected PDFs.

The end result should be the creation of a PDF file which combines the PDFs I selected.

How can I do this? (Or something like this, where I don't have to leave Windows Explorer).

PDF Sam works great. Like most free and open source software... pay very close attention to the installation as it will try to bundle crap with it.

Are you referring to the "Open With" sub menu?

If so, the contents are controlled by LaunchServices and you may need to rebuild your Launch Services database or you could state that you can handle .pdf files with a UTI in your Info.plist.

To rebuild the Launch Services Database:
Using 10.4:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user /

Using 10.5/10.6 the location changed to CoreServices.framework:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user /

Adding the UTI information is something best asked at Stack Overflow however.

I don't understand the question. When you select files and press Enter, the files get opened. Is this not you are looking for?
