Adobe Reader

Strength:
According to some users', this program is very easy to use. Through this tool, we could read PDF files, fill PDF forms, and check for information of PDF files; we could also print by this tool. The stability as well as compatibility is pretty good. Furthermore, there are 2 plug-ins added in this latest version: Acrobat Search and AutoIndx, which could search from hard disks, CD disk and LAN.

Benefits
PDF is increasingly more and more popular now--it could deal with multiple tasks and it supports hypertext markup Language. Thus we could comment PDF as a powerful document and no wonder more and more people like it. Sometimes we might meet some unidentified codes in Word documents while PDF could reduce such condition to some extent; while this format could not be recognized unless the particular tools.

As I mentioned above, there are several apps designed for reading PDF files, during which there are two outstanding tools for it--Adobe Reader and Foxit PDF Reader; they excel at different parts--Adobe Reader adds more features, and it has a bigger size. Foxit startups very fast, yet the features are not as many as Adobe.

A very nice feature you have available in Adobe Reader when adding comments is the ability to paste any information you copy to the clipboard as a Stamp comment. You can copy a body of text, an image, or take screen shot. The screen shot option is particularly helpful if you need to get some tech support from an IT department. On Windows just press the Shift key or maybe the Function key and the Prt Scr key on your keyboard when a dialog box opens to take a screen shot. If you want just the dialog box without the background, add the Alt key. Computers vary so the key combinations may be a little different on your system. On the Mac press Command + Option + 4, then press the Spacebar and click on a dialog box. The Mac doesn't copy the file to the clipboard so you need to use another step. The file is saved to your desktop after clicking on the dialog box. Open the file in Acrobat and click the Snapshot tool. Drag around the image and release the mouse button. The image is then copied to the clipboard.

If we want to print some pages from PDF files, this tool could help us and make the pages as a simple booklet, such as 2-up and saddle-stitched ones.
The new version provides us an adjustable setting of zoom, pan and loupe; thereupon we could adjust things more conveniently.

Defraggler

Defraggler Main Features:

Piriform Defraggler shows your disk layout in the traditional "large mosaic of colored squares" fashion, and the colors leap and bounce around as various sectors are read from or written to. This offers no improvement in functionality over Windows line graph style, but I find it more interesting to watch.
Most defragmentation tools only let you defrag the whole drive. Defraggler gives you the power to select individual files and folders to defrag. So you can get the job done in seconds, rather than waiting for the whole drive to complete. Of course if you want to defrag the whole drive Defraggler will let you do that too.
Defraggler was written in the same compact architecture as other award-winning freeware Piriform products ( CCleaner and Recuva). This results in a compact single EXE application, which can be copied to a thumbdrive and then used whenever you need it, without a complex installation process. The EXE itself is less than 1MB!
Defraggler supports all OSs released since Windows 2000, this includes Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista. 64-bit support has also just been added! Additionally Defraggler supports both NTFS and FAT32 file systems.
After analysis Defraggler lists all the fragmented files on the drive. Selecting one or many will highlight their location on the disk. Allowing you to visually see the location of files on the disk.
It differs from other defrag tools on the market, by enabling you to quickly and simply defrag the files you want to, without having to process the whole drive. Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool!

And remember like all Piriform products, Defraggler is completely free for both corporate and individual use.

This version will install on PCs running Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista. 64-bit OSs are now supported as well.

OpenOffice

A credible rival to MS Office, OpenOffice.org includes powerful applications for making text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, diagrams, and databases, as well as HTML and XML documents. Not only does it let you edit basic documents, such as letters and faxes, it also handles equations and complex and multipart documents with bibliographies, reference tables, and indexes.

The interface is similar to that of MS Office, and even advanced Office users will find almost everything they're used to: templates, collaborative features (versions, recording changes), macros, and even a programming language. OOo, as it's known, lets you open and save documents in formats as diverse as MS Office formats, PDF, HTML, and XML. It can also import files from those formats, as well as WordPerfect and others. However, it normally saves files in the open-standard Oasis OpenDocument XML format, for maximum compatibility with other applications.

The latest versions of OpenOffice have seen a spurt of growth in the extensions available for the program. These include templates for professional writers, an export tool for bidirectional functionality with Google Docs, blog publishing, and others. Blog publishing assistance especially strikes us as a natural area for word processing to grow toward.

We were pleased to find that stability has improved too. No doubt about it, the multilingual and crossplatform OpenOffice.org is a compelling option for anyone in search of an alternative office suite.
