This is the first publicly announced release of PDFMergeNX, the successor 
to PDFMerge/2.

PDFMergeNX is an application to manipulate PDF and PS files in various 
ways. Its capabilities go far beyond those of PDFMerge/2. PDFMergeNX is a 
simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents and PostScript 
files. Currently it can be used to

     * Merge PDF/PS[/TIF/FAX/JPEG] files
     * Split PDF/PS files into single pages
     * Print PDF/PS files
     * View  PDF/PS files (builtin Mini-PDF/PS-Viewer)
     * Compare (text) content of 2 PDF/PS files (using Araxis PMDiff)
     * Extract PS files from PDF files
     * Flip pages upside down
     * Add simple bookmarks
     * Add and update PDF metadata such as title, subject, author, keywords
     * Rearrange pages
     * Load/save listfiles to add sets of PDF/PS files at once
     * more features to be added.

PDFMergeNX already has

     * various options (page alignment, import bookmark headings etc.)
     * national language support (English default, German included)
     * a simple builtin distiller (based on GhostScript, cannot do bookmarks)
     * support for ePDF as distiller (required if bookmarks should be
created, the output should be encrypted, a background watermark should
be applied).

PDFMergeNX provides a graphical user interface and acts as glue between 
GhostScript, XPDF 3.01.pl1 and ePDF (these all must be installed as a 
prerequisite.

PDFMergeNX is still under heavy development, neither feature set, 
documentation nor  installation process is complete yet and therefore 
feedback of all kinds is appreciated.
