We’re put together a handy little freebie called Quick PDF Tools, based on our royalty-free SDK, Quick PDF Library. In short, it allows you to perform some basic PDF-related functionality, right from Windows Explorer (in the context menu).
Features:
Edit PDF properties (Title, Author, Subject and Keywords)
Edit PDF layout and magnification
Modify PDF viewer preferences
Add/remove passwords for PDF
Merge selected PDF files
Convert (almost) any image to PDF
Remove all bookmarks from a PDF
And much more…
Check it out, it’s free — but sorry Mac users, Windows only. You can read the rest of the press release here.

For over 4 years a dedicated group of Quick PDF Library (formerly iSEDQuickPDF and QuickPDF) users have been supporting their fellow developers over at www.quickpdf.org, providing expert advice and help, and powering a fantastic user-to-user forum, which has helped literally thousands in need.
Since we announced our acquisition of Quick PDF Library a couple of months ago, many of you have contacted us wondering what sort of relationship we, as the new owners of the library, would have with the QuickPDF.org forum members.
Well, we have some good news.
Debenu and the QuickPDF.org founders are happy to announce that going forward, while development of the library will be handled by Debenu at www.quickpdflibrary.com, the www.quickpdf.org website will become the official user-to-user forum for Quick PDF Library.
This is exciting news for the future of Quick PDF Library because it ensures that the library’s users will continue to enjoy the benefits of a very strong user community.
Finally, a special thanks to Michel Korwin-Szymanowski and Ingo Schmöekel, as well as the other members of the QuickPDF.org forum who have worked extremely hard over the years to support their fellow users.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated by everyone.
