    Does anyone know of a good free PDF Merger and Splitter?

    How do I uninstall a game that I installed on a external hard drive? When I try to do it from the control panel nothing happens.

    Very old advice. Reinstall same place then control add/remove, only works if bad or missing uninstal file.

    Oh if you did not install on this external from your computer this should work. Good luck.

    The 1st I don't know what it evens mean sorry, pdf not my thing.

    Goes back to the first sentence, this will take less than 5 minutes and the advantage over just deleting is if it works less orphan files including on your main drive. Just removeing the main file does nothing for Registry settings and more. I admit it may not work.

    I'm not sure if this is what you want to do.... but if you just want to split a file (to reduce its size to send it to someone or something) then you can use WinRAR to do that.

    I mean if I have a PDF file X pages long, and I would like to split the file at say page 20, so I have two files. File #1 pages 1-20, and file #2 pages 21-X

    And if you want something a little more powerful, CutePDF Pro would be a good option. It costs $50, still a lot less than Acrobat Standard.
