A proper document management software is not included in the Windows operating system. It does offer a basic location for all documents in the My Documents folder or the more advanced Windows 7 Libraries but they offer, in the end, nothing more than a listing of documents that are linked to in those folders.
Document management on the other hand should provide additional features such as advanced search options and filters, categorizations, conversions, distribution options and more.
Benubird PDF is a document management software that unlike its name would suggest supports not only pdf documents but also other document formats such as text, Microsoft Word, Excel and image formats.
New documents can be easily added to the software program by either handpicking them or selecting folders that should be imported. Filters aid the user in importing documents from folders, it is for instance possible to only import specific file types from that folders in the program.
Each document and file that is loaded into the program is automatically added to the library which contains filters to view all or only specific file types such as spreadsheets, presentations or videos.
Collections can be created as well which provide another option to sort documents. It is for example possible to create collections that contain financial or work related documents.
The properties of each document can be edited to contain a title, author, subject and tags, some of which are automatically imported if meta tags exist.
A search is offered that makes use of the meta data of the documents. Another interesting option of the document management software is the ability to watch folders. New documents of those folders will be automatically added in the document management software.
Benubird PDF is a interesting document management software for the Windows operating system. The program is freely available for download at the developer’s website. It is compatible with most 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.

It doesn’t support .djvu file format which is a pity. What alternative options do we have?
What a pitty. This software can not search _inside_ the PDF files. It is only possible to search within the tags.
