Deletion of List of PDF software

Comment: I came across this article this evening and found it quite useful, so perhaps this is something of an  comment. However, while it certainly isn't a perfect article, it does provide more information than would a category or template in terms of descriptions of what software does and sub-categorisation by operating system

Comment: As useful as this information is, policy consensus is that mere lists of links do not belong in an encyclopedia.  There are few facts in the article, and the links do not serve as verifying sources
