From the variety of document file formats on the market, the PDF is one of the most versatile and universally used. Apart from the output filesize that can be quite big sometimes and can stress your CPU and RAM, this format is highly customizable. It allows you to insert various images and drawings, regardless of their size, contains various text-editing methods and even allows you to set up customized display settings, including the zoom level and the page-display layout.

But when it comes to managing this kind of files, things can get a little tricky. Here's when Ultra PDF Tools comes into action. It's a small and versatile application that allows you to merge or split your PDFs and even extract or remove individual pages from the desired files.

ArchiveClipboard is a simple tool designed to sit quietly in the system tray and monitor one's Clipboard’s activity. If activated, it will notify the user of any change that is made to the Clipboard's content.
