Haven't tried it but being TWAIN compliant is a big plus.

Should read "* Remove Password if you know what the password is" :-)

Stitches pdfs together ok.

OCR as good as other freebies, and some 'pay for' programs.

At the end of the page (Zo's URL) there is this - the most negative of
the 'testimonials')

SoftPedia - Editor's Pick

If your priority is to get the maximum number of features from a single
freeware package, then Advanced PDF Utilities Free will be a good
choice. However, its user interface is not as straightforward as in
either of the two applications reviewed above. Its merge, split and
reorder functions are available under the ‘input’ tab, and a new
filename has to be entered in the ‘output’ tab.

It works pretty well Ron, but it's a large download. Give it a try.
