Installation and Usage
Using Icecream PDF Split and Merge software is easy. To start, head over to the official website and download the application. Even though it is a premium application, you can download the basic version for free. At any given point in time, the free version of the software is limited to splitting forty pages and three documents while merging. Once downloaded, install the application like any other Windows software.
As you can see, the user interface face is pretty minimal and modern. To split a PDF document, select the option “Split.”
The above action will open the split window. Here click on the “Add File” button and add the file you want to split. You can only split one file at a time, i.e. you cannot split multiple PDF documents simultaneously.
Once the file has been added, you can configure how the Icecream app will split your PDF document. For instance, since I want to split my document into groups, I’ve selected the option By groups of pages.” Enter the number of pages you want the files split into. You can also select the destination folder for the split files under the “Save to” section.
Moreover, you can also preview the document by click on the link “Preview” appearing in the upper right corner.
Once you are done with the settings, click on the “Split” button to split the PDF document. Once the process has been completed, the application shows you the confirmation window.
If you open the destination directory, you can access all your split documents. Since every document is an individual PDF document, you can open them using any PDF reader.
Just like splitting, you can easily merge several PDF documents. To do that, select the “Merge” option in the main window. Then click on the “Add Files” button and add the all the PDF documents you want to merge.
As you can see, I’ve added all the documents that I split earlier using the Icecream app. To change the file sequence, simply select the file and click on the respective arrow button on the right-hand side. If you want to add more files, click on the “Plus” icon. Once you are done with the changes, click on the “Merge” button to merge all the selected files.
Once the process has been completed, the software will show you a confirmation window letting you know.
That’s all there is to do, and it is that simple to use the Icecream PDF Split and Merge software to split and merge PDF documents.
