Saving a PDF from Adobe Reader to SharePoint

Well after much searching blogs, Forums, Google, and everything else I could find, I finally found a third-party plug-in that will let a person save PDF's to a SharePoint site. The tool is called Swiftwriter from Omtool http://Omtool.com With a little configuration, you have to specify your Default SharePoint site, all you do is click "Save to SharePoint" and you can then select you doc lib that you want to save to. There is one issue though, the tool doesn't seem to like sub sites for some reason and you can only specify one default SharePoint site. But if you can live with that this will work for you.

P.S. the tool says that it's designed for SharePoint 2003 but I have tested it using SharePoint 2007 and only had the problem with the sub sites.
