    I need to merge two PDF documents.

    There are a million programs that will do that out there

    I am nervous about downloading those programs

    I need one that is safe.

    I am sure someone else can use the information in this thread.

    I downloaded a free trial of Adobe X Pro. Very powerful program.

    JW, what you have iw a one time shot at doing a pdf conversion. Once your free trial expires you have a program crapping up your hard drive that won't work. OK for a one time shot then delete but not good if you ever have to do it again.

    I had the same concern before installing the program.

    I did set a System Restore point before loading the program.

    I am going to reset my computer to before the program was installed.

    You could also use Revo Uninstaller.

    System restore points affects Windows registry, system files, and programs, but it does not remove installed software. Revo, as mentioned, is a good utility though.
