the most of your PC, and they’re all FREE


If you have a scanner, you can use this tiny program to scan in
documents and save them to yo ur PC in PDF format. It’s very
easy to use – just select the scanner and any options, click
Scan andthen click the ‘to PDF’ button. This upda te lets you
reorde r the PDF pagesby simply dragging and dropping
them in position. It also improves converting an image file
(JPEG, PNG, TIFF ) to PDF. There are instal ler and portable
versions available.

Despite its name, AwesomeWallpaper doesn’ t actually
contain or do wnload wallpaper for your PC. Instea d, it lets
you choose a type of backgroundto display – System
Information (which overlays your PC’s specs on top of your
current wallpaper), Image, Gallery (a slid eshow) and Video.
If you use more than one monitor, you can choose which one
to display your media on (with mixed results, we’ve found),
and custom ise the alignment, transparency and autoplay.
