From time to time I see an app that just makes me want to purchase a Mac.

Some time back I wrote a post about a fantastic app called Papers that was the perfect app to organizer… err… papers! (Winner of the 2007 Apple Design Award for Best Scientific Computing solution!)

Papers - Scientific papers (PDF) organizer

I’ve been looking for something similar for Windows or Linux for quite a while, but nothing really reaches it’s high standard. Until I ran across a blog post mentioning a PDF organizer app called Yep. That’s right, Yep.

Yep - PDF organizer

There was hope after all, this had to be a Linux or Windows app since Papers was already top of the line for keeping tabs on PDFs. But yet again, I looked in apathy as I realized that it was yet another Mac app for PDFs.

Although Yep is not as scientifically directed as Papers, it looks like a great application (for Macs – grrrr!).

So, my search continues for something similar to these fantastic looking apps. Anyone know about a good piece of software to help organize my papers in a decent fashion? Suggestions are appreciated!

UPDATE: I’ve found a great piece of software to help me organize my papers, it’s called Mendeley. I highly recommend it!

And while we’re talking about PDFs, let me take this opportunity to write about a cool PDF converter I’ve recently discovered.

There are a bunch of PDF converters out there, some proprietary and others open source. However, I’d like to call your attention to this particular (FREE – as in beer!) PDF converter called CC PDF Converter, and it allows you to embed Creative Commons licenses in your newly created documents. How cool is that!?
