AlivePDF is an open-source ActionScript 3 (Flash, Flex, AIR) PDF generation library. It allows you to generate PDF‘s on the client-side.

You can use AlivePDF with Flash, Flex and Adobe AIR applications. Some sample codes can be found here.

There also few tutorials about using it with AIR and Flex here. 

I am, kinda, well-organised developer and try not to code similar things twice and keep my code snippets within folders to reach them whenever needed.

Today I saw Snippely, a code snippet manager built with Adobe AIR by the Mootools development team (yeah, complicated).

With a very simple interface Snippely organizes your code snippets and can highlight coding syntax for easier reading. Best of all it is open source, which Adobe AIR developers looking for a good Mootools sample may find handy to dive into the code.

Adobe AIR, as it is no longer beta, will be more popular for sure.

I had collected 10 Adobe AIR -Must See- Applications in a previous post which contained really cool applications.

Klok is another great Adobe AIR application which is built for personal time tracking. Projects, sub-projects (tasks) can be defined and can be attached to a customer. You can even make a "start & stop" to calculate the time of the task you worked on and Klok automatically adds it to the timetable.

Klok's UI works with the drag'n drop logic in general. You can send the items to the trash, manage the timetable and the projects hierarchy easily with dragging and dropping the items.

Klok is a very handy and easy to use application for freelancers & other individuals who want to keep track the time of tasks and projects they are working on.
