Looking for a solution to managing your growing collection of e-zines and pdf tutorials. Give Yep a Try!
I've been using Yep for the last couple of weeks. Yep is a great tool for creatives who have allot of E-zines and pdf Tutorials. It automatically tags your imported files based on keywords in the pdf files them selves which is a great time saver. I can't imagine anything more time consuming then tagging files.
Give it a try. I've been using the demo version with no problems.* The demo version of Yep only allows 50 imports.

The book sells for under $20 bucks so it might be worth adding to your library.
