Acrobat for cartoons
I just found a new use for Acrobat to search cartoons. I have hundreds of megabytes of cartoon strips like Dilbert, Calvin n Hobbes etc. They are images that have been made into big PDF files, based on the year the cartoons were published. Like Dilbert 1989 strips are all in one PDF, C&H 1988 are in another etc.
Now the problem is of intelligently searching the most appropriate cartoon whenever someone raises some question or something is discussed in a meeting?
Solution: When the cartoons are being read, add annotations (comments) using Acrobat for the cartoons. The comments could have keywords describing the situation the cartoon is based upon. Then whenever a particular scenario appears, just run a search for the keywords in these files. Simple :)

Find/Replace in multiple files
My colleauge Saurabh wanted a solution for this problem he wanted to solve, "... use Find/Replace in a batch of 20 files, in one go...". I told him about looking one solution up on Google and he got this solution. Pretty neat, isn't it?
We also looked up for a free XML diff solution. We got one on IBM AlphaWorks, but its not a great tool. I have installed two others, one from MSFT, but still haven't tried them.
