Can anyone recommend free software which can scan and index an existing image PDF document so it can be searched?

Have you tried installing Adobe PDF iFilter?

I used to use IrfanView but moved to FastStone because I could do up to 4 side by side photo edit comparisons. Each comparison view can be scaled individually. This is very useful when doing photo editing which I use Photoshop Elements 9 with a range of plugins. FastStone has a color managed setting.

We each have our own preferences. Mine is XnView

Found this in a newsletter now down the bottom are the free products the pais for ones are VERY expensive but I don't know what half of them actually do or would be of any interest. The IP chaser looks ok to me and there are firewall apps too.

Download Free Network Management & Free Network Monitoring Software from SolarWinds

These look good - towards the bottom of the ref MiniTool Solution Ltd. provides free Windows file recovery software, free Mac data recovery software and partition magic server software.

MiniTool and EaseUS all the way !
Partition Wizard and Data Recovery are great programs.

Yep mate been using the PW for ages now great not just for partitons but disk checking and wiping to. Only not recommended for SSD's (wiping) - Parted Magic best apparently.

downloads if you haven't used it it is a bootable disk app so you need to set the BIOS etc etc :)
