There are numerous programs I have on hand for the creation of PDF (Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format) files. Today I am installing and testing out the free (opensource) PDFCreator from http://www.pdfforge.org/. So it looks like a great tool for creating PDF files, and it’s free.
It can be installed in both a standard way and as a Network Installation. Fantastic. So it even supports operation over a network providing PDF creation capabilities to all ones networked computers and users.
If you want to create PDF files check it out today.
Already using a commercial PDF creation program—like Acrobat Professional or PDF Factory or CutePDF Professional?
I also recommend checking out this tool if you are currently using a pirated/warez version of a commercial PDF creation program. With PDFCreator avaialble there is really no excuse for using a pirated/warez copy of some other pdf application.
If you run Sage Act! 6 and wish to update it to 6.0.3 here is the link to the download. You can update it through the built in tool, but if you want to run the file locally it’s a real mission finding this update file. I am running Act! v6 on Linux I had to install it a few times to get it all working as I wanted. This meant running the built in update three or four times. Whatever server the updater connects to seems to have a really slow connection to New Zealand where I am.
To download the update go here: http://download.act.com/ACT!603Update.exe

Today I was looking for a way to view the amount of space each folder/directory was taking up on a clients rather full computer. There are many licensed applications that do this. I wanted a free one.
The following application did the job perfectly and I highly recommend it:
TreeSize Free V1.78
Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize Free tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize Free can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize Free is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report. TreeSize Free is freeware for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.
It can be downloaded from here. The publishers website is here.
