Download This!

Foxit Reader has some of the more expensive features of Adobe - create PDFs with fillable forms, collaborative framework, the ability to annotate, mark-up, strike text, and add comments - without any of the hassle or expense of purchasing an Adobe Suite.

The website has a search bar, but I find it much easier (and quicker for some reason), to scroll down and zip through each page.  When I find an organizer that I like, I click on the picture and save it to my computer.  New stuff is added periodically.  Here's one that's just been added:
