Either way, there have been lots of good improvements on the PDF front lately -- soPDF, PaperCrop, pi and PDFRead are now available and are good in certain aspects. We should also give thanks to alex_d (for PDFRasterFarian) and cacapee (for pdflrf) as they have served as inspiration for these tools, although they are are no longer legally available.
That's awesome news in any timeframe. I haven't checked out the newer tools yet, but am delighted with the simplicity of PDFRead, so that's what I've been using. I guess I'll have to take another look now that some time has passed and more work has been done.

I don't think I'll ever stop being impressed with the amazing community achievements of software developers whose collective work produces such useful applications made available freely. I think I echo the sentiments of many when I say "Thanks, thanks and more thanks!"
