Mendelay Research Killer App:

I have gigs and gigs of PDF's that were very unorganized. Mendeley's app took them and pulled the metadata in the PDF to make it easily accessible. Mendeley also can search through all your PDF's for one word. You can also use it to view and edit them as well. If you use Zotero, Word or Open Office there are plugins as well. If you a researcher, writer or have a lot of data on hand check out Mendeley.
