A small guide to PDF resources out there...

We recently had a flurry of exchanges on our Cambridge Librarian discussion list about PDFs (Portable Document Format) and all the available software out there. While the emails were flying I hastily stuck the links in my Delicious under a common tag. I think I am so original that the tag was 'PDF'. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I thought I'd also gather up all the links for you here. You are not  bound to Adobe and Acrobat for all your PDF needs. Check these out, (with thanks of course to all the contributors to the discussion list!):
  • FillAnyPDF does what it says on the tin. Share forms and collect data. Alternative name: 'Fax be gone'..
  • PDF-XChange Viewer view, modify or perform simple edits to PDFs
  • Qigga manage your digital documents
  • CutePDF all sorts of solutions including CutePDF writer freeware
I'm betting there are a lot more out there...?
