Full summary

PDF toolkit provides a bunch of tools for PDF manipulation. With PDF toolkit, you can: Merge two or more PDF files Convert office documents (DOCX, ODT, and many more) to PDF Append or prepend an image to the PDF file Download PDF files opened in tabs even as embedded documents Please note: Don’t use this app for big files. It could be unreliable if you merge 1000 page long documents. The conversion process could take a long time. Please wait at least 20 seconds before giving up.

IE Tab exactly emulates Internet Explorer, and enables you to load your web pages with different versions of IE (IE7 - IE11)

FULLY SUPPORTED IN WINDOWS 11 AND AFTER INTERNET EXPLORER IS REMOVED IN FEBRUARY 2023.

Please note that IE Tab for Windows does require the use of a separate executable, ietabhelper.exe. You can read more about that in the FAQ below.
