It never ceases to amaze us what creative ways people find to use our library. Unfortunately a lot of these are commercial ones we are not allowed to share with you. So I thought I would have a look around and see if I could find some examples using the Open Source version. Here is a selection…

Pdf Scissors is a cool program for cropping Pdf files so you can read them more easily in Pdf readers like a Kindle.  http://www.pdfscissors.com/

PdfJumbler is a simple tool for shuffling Pdf files around.  You can rearrange, merge and delete pages. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfjumbler/

Pdf Annot is pretty nifty.  You can use it to add audio and text annotations to Pdf files.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfannot/

DICOMUX was made by some students in german.  Its used to read DICOM files (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine file, learn something new everyday!).  http://dicomux.org/Home.html
