  Hello,
  
  I can not display the Acrobat Toolbar, it does not appear when I do a right click on the Adobe Acrobat’s menu area.

  I solved it. I did not have "MFC71.dll" on my system. I downloaded the dll and now it works.

  The "free" ed is crippled. It costs $29.95 to buy the full version. Looks OK and seems to work OK though is well overpriced. If you wish to say Its 100% free, please let people know that the "free ed" has several restrictions, its not the same as the paid ed or provide us a standard non-crippled program that can be used properly.
  Alternative : WonderWebWare Screen Ruler and it's free, of both cost and restrictions

  Glen, you seem to have misunderstood how BoomerApp works. You can download and try the software, but you have to pay full price to get it to work. However after you pay you get a mail-in rebate for your money back.

  Exactly what I'd never want to see - REBATES! At least one state is looking to ban any kind of mail-in rebate and just today stats were released saying that 70% of rebates are never redeemed - either too complicated, the company just never accepts the forms, finding some reason to say it is not acceptable, etc etc etc. Recommendation was to NOT buy anything that offers a so-called -rebate- as an inducement to buy.
  
  Personally I've -NEVER- any rebate for any product I've bought. My friends read moreand I just decided we'd rather not deal with any company that makes sales based on rebates (that they have little intention to fulfill - or only do a percentage). We agree with the assessment - buy things on sale - NOT with any rebate.

  Daniel,
  
  It's certainly your right to your opinion and to choose what and when you buy, for what it's worth though I wanted to mention that our rebate forms are simple and for anyone who mails one in we have every intention to fulfill (and do so as fast as possible). We are not in the business of disqualifying people or holding onto rebate money and we don't add any extra 'hoops' to the process. Whether you choose to mail in the form or not we can't control, all we can assure you is that read moreif you do you will be paid quickly and efficiently.
  
  Sincerely,

  Daniel,
  
  Thanks for your comments. We've partnered with Rebate Delivery in creating this website, I've known Jason for years and would not have even considered doing this with any other company. As you can see we can't get these low prices with our normal discount coupons on BitsDuJour.com. We hope you like the deals, and I'd like to give my personal assurance that we will guarantee all valid rebate payments.

  I'm not saying that anyone is -intentionally- NOT fulfilling Rebates, but it is happening, and with great frequency (for any number of reasons). It is however, unfortunate that this begins now - with the FTC, several Attorney's General, legislatures, and consumer groups looking into rebate practices over all industries. And the very first day I clicked on the BDJ header that lead me here a nationwide recommendation came out to NOT buy anything that is offered with a Rebate. My personal negative experiences read morewith them aside - the overwhelming opinions are they are, at the very least, troublesome, and indeed some are criminal. You can avoid that by taking the recommendations from our trustworthy government agency and consumer groups to get the best price you can - without - any rebate.

  Thanks for your comments Daniel, I hope that this site can help change your opinion. I will give my personal assurance that if anyone has a problem with a valid rebate I'll get out my checkbook and refund the money myself. You're welcome to give me a call and discuss this further.
  
  Best regards.

  It's really too bad all this side discussion has become so heated...I paid full price for the Calipers several years ago, both at home and at work, and I'd do the same again even if I had to pay triple!
  
  Screen Calipers is one of the most useful software apps I've ever used--and a bargain even if you pay full price without a rebate. By not going for this deal, you're just cheating yourself out of one hell of a program. I use it with Acrobat, PageMaker, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Finale, read moreSibelius, and other programs...works like a charm.
  
  I've got a full review coming soon, but in the meantime see http://www.viadigita.com/software/
