Cool Tools for Web Development
Darlene Fichter's Internet Librarian presentation on tools for web development listed a variety of handy and useful utilities. I've already told you about ieSpell.
Also included were a couple of interesting PDF tools.
FastPDF is web-based service that lets you convert Microsoft Word documents to PDF. Converting a document less than 12 pages in length is free, but the PDF version will include a watermark advertising FastPDF.
PDF Explorer is a PDF file management software and image extraction tool. It allows you to easily gather and add all your pdf files to a database file that displays an overview of filename, title, subject and author. You can then search through all the files, view them, batch rename them and more.
Darlene discussed many more utilities such as:
Mouseover Generator
FavIcon
Bookmarklet - List all Links
Colour Picker and Tester
Just to name a few. Her full presentation is available at http://library.usask.ca/%7Efichter/talks03/il/13
The presentations from Internet Librarian are available on the Infotoday web site.
