This really is fab. I’ve tried using DevonThink and Eagle Filer to build up searchable databases of .pdfs.

Both good in their own ways, but just little too much effort - and everything gets locked up in their folder system (for eagle) or a locked down database (for Devon), and you end up with duplicates of things you download and then import.

Imagine my delight when I stumble across Yep from Ironic Software which, in their words is ‘iPhoto’ for pdfs. The beauty is, it just finds pdfs wherever they are on your hard drive, and then lets you tag them and file them. At the same time - it has all the lovely stuff of being able to take a pdf grab of a web page, or print a pdf to Yep. Lovely stuff.
