Mendeley is a free to use, cross-platform PDF organizer with some extra features that make document management and research easier:
- Reference manager (generate citations and bibliographies in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice / LibreOffice)
- PDF viewer (can also add annotations, etc.)
- Import and organize PDFs
- Collaborate / share documents
- Backup and cloud sync
The application is basically a library manager for your PDF files that lets you organize and even store your documents in the cloud (without encryption) and can be used from Linux, Windows, Mac, mobile devices or the web. With a free account, you get 500MB of personal storage and another 500MB of shared space and you can also create both public and private groups to easily share documents with friends or colleagues.
Tabbed interface, supports annotations

GNOME Documents is a new application (part of GNOME 3.2) that works with both Unity and GNOME Shell which allows you to manage both online (Google Docs) and local documents.
For now, the application can only be used for searching and opening any document on your system or Google Docs so it's basically just a way to access all your documents in one place.
From some mockups posted on gnome.org, it looks like GNOME Documents might (?) get some nice features in the future, like uploading files to Google Docs, a cool preview feature, share or print documents and more. I'm also hoping for more integrated services, like Dropbox (and Ubuntu One) or Box.net and so on.
