Jason,
What do you mean by organising PDFs and how would you use Surfulater for that?

CommentCollector: my new "PDF notes tool"
12/18/2010
I have just downloaded the trial version (which is limited to 10 PDF files to be searched). In my first 10 PDF files (out of 1351 it identified) it found 2 files that had comments. Out of these 2 file...

As a research student, this sounds very interesting to me. I also have about a 1000 PDFs with annotations on some of them, and of course I have no idea now which are the ones that I have added comment...

Digital Research Tools (DiRT)

I have just come across this nice wiki that has annotated lists of digital research tools in various categories, though strangely there is no standalone category for outliners...

I use Protopage as my personal web portal which does have some information management widgets (such as to do lists, calendars, post-it notes, bookmarks etc.), and I was wondering what other solutions ...

Many thanks once more for all the suggestions. I spent a bit more time exploring Ultra Recall and it fits my needs very well. Very nice piece of software. I did notice that it is slower with importing...

Many thanks for the suggestions so far. In the end I checked out ConnectedText, Zoot, Ultra Recall, MyInfo, and myBase. So far I'm leaning towards Ultra Recall as it seemed to have the least steep lea...

I'd like to ask for some advice on software that could help me with the following problem. On my Windows XP PC I have a folder with 110 sub-folders, each entitled with the date (e.g. 2008_01_16) when ...

Hi,
I'm also a PhD student, with a similar interest in designing a work flow that is supported by appropriate software tools. Unfortunately I'm still far from a fully integrated and streamlined work ...
I don't know how it compares with Framework, but Whizfolders is an outliner that allows you to link to files on a computer and it is a kind of an outliner in the end. Its files are relatively easy to ...
Hi Ken,
I was in a similar dilemma recently, as my old Palm TX started to die on me. Eventually I decided to get myself a new Palm TX instead, so I can stick with DateBk6 and Natara Bonsai outliner, ...
