Someone has to mention the excellent pdftkBuilder (http://angusj.com/pdftkb/), which does the same thing, and a lot more (watermarking and stamping, rotation of pages). It has always been freeware, and is absolutely portable, leaving no traces in the registry or %appdata%

For simple splitting and recombining, I use the main tab, and simply list the pages or page ranges from which files, and in what order. By adding the same file to Source twice, you can plut pieces from other file(s) in between, useful for adding pages into a finished document. It supports drag and drop, but not batch, same as today's offer. I would love it if SPM&S did more than the trusty pdftkBuilder, but alas I stick to the tried and true this time.
