[EXPIRED] PDFZilla free for 20 days - Ends 14 March 2012
scancode:
It's much more likely that it stores the registration in the HKLM hive of the registry, where, for most locations, Admin access is required to be able to write.

Likely - yes, true - no :-) When I activated it I had the installation folder open in TC and noticed in the corner of my eye that a file was updated there at that very moment. Seeing as most other apps handle registration without needing admin rights, I wonder if it's worth the additional support work this must bring in.

So i'm guessing backing up SOUND.DLL (which is NOT a DLL file) should back up your registration too.

Make an image of your Windows partition once a week - takes twenty minutes. I've used Windows for close to twenty years and have never reinstalled from scratch, but images have saved my butt half a dozen times.

I install and trial a LOT of programs. If I'm going to do an OS reinstall I'm going to want to shed all of that useless junk lurking around my hard drive & registry. I don't want to carry half-uninstalled program DLLs around wtih me till I upgrade to Windows 8.

Shareware?
PDFZilla uses pdftk.exe, pdf2swf.exe, and pdf2htm.exe.
I say avoid.

My sentiments exactly, except the Windows 8 part.

I'm keeping an open mind. What Windows 8 will be in its final form isn't going to emerge until we're into the beta process. That's MS's typical standard operating procedure, but I agree. At this point in time, there's no reason to upgrade. I'm confident that will most likely change.
