FaxTool is a lightweight, portable freeware utility specifically designed for splitting and merging TIFF and PDF files. It serves as a handy companion tool for individuals and businesses that regularly handle digital fax documents, which are almost exclusively sent and received in these two file formats.
Because it is a single executable file, it requires no installation and can be run directly from a USB drive. Key Features of FaxTool
Drag-and-Drop Interface: You can drag multi-page TIFF or PDF files directly into the window to manipulate them.
File Splitting: Separates a multi-page document into individual, sequentially named single-page files.
File Joining (Merging): Combines multiple separate page images or files into a single, cohesive document named Combined.tif.
Zero Dependencies: The tool is built using AutoHotkey and embeds the necessary command-line engines (PDFTK.exe and i_view32.exe) directly inside the main application, meaning you don’t need to install external software. How to Use FaxTool
Launch the App: Download and open the FaxTool.exe file. (It extracts temporary helper files to your Windows Temp folder upon its first run).
To Split: Drag a multi-page TIFF or PDF into the designated area. The extracted pages will automatically appear in the same folder as the original file.
To Merge: Drag multiple separate image pages into the tool to stitch them together into one complete document. Common Alternatives to Consider
