View all those PDF documents found around the Internet and elsewhere. Acrobat Reader is a standalone program and browser plug-in that lets you view and print Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. PDF files are useful for distributing documents that will always look the same, regardless of the platform and operating system they are viewed on. This installation includes the ability to search PDF files.
This new version adds the ability to play back Apple QuickTime as well as Macromedia Flash, Real and Windows Media content that is embedded in an Adobe PDF file; read and organise eBooks; extract photos from Adobe Photoshop Album slide shows and electronic cards, and send them to online photo services for ordering prints, etc.; view document layers in Adobe PDF files created with layers preserved.

Location on CD: software/windows/browse/imdb_grab/ | |
This is a fun little tool that's ideal for you movie-obsessed Net-heads. Type in the titles of movies you're interested in, and IMdB-GRAB trundles off to retrieve their entries from the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com), presenting them in a table grid that can then be exported to an Excel spreadsheet. It's not lightning-fast, but it displays data from pretty much all the categories in the IMdB, including Plot and User Comments, along with the little thumbnail of each movie's promotional poster.

Never miss a site update again with WebMon, a monitoring utility that checks a list of your favourite Web sites for changes and alerts you with a little sound or pop-up. It'll import a list of your bookmarks from Netscape and IE, but you can schedule it to check an almost unlimited number of sites ñ you can even tell it to check just parts of a particular page (very handy).
