 * Will there be? It seems nothing wants to handle pdf-files in a good way, and 
   since NextGEN Gallery is utterly wonderful in handling images it would be a nice
   addition, even though pdf aren’t strictly images.

 * Not sure what you are trying to do specifically. Really don’t need plugins to
   use pdfs.

 * I want to manage a “library” that contains only pdf-files. Right now I’m using
   Filebase to manage the files, creating automatic files listings and stuff like
   that, but since Filebase seems to be heading for oblivion (still no WP3 upgrade),
   I’m looking for an alterantive.

 * Are you using WP-Filebase? Seems to work fine with 3.0.1

 * Yes, it is WP-Filebase. According to the developer (here on wordpress.org) it
   works only up to WP v2.9.2, and nine out of thirteen say it’s broken. And on 
   the developers own webbsite, there’s a lot of comments about the plugin not working
   properly.
 * Since I actually haven’t tried it with WP3, but as the odds are stacked right
   now I don’t dare.

 * Why don’t you test Lester “Gamerz” Chan’s “GaMerZ File Explorer”?

 * Seems as it hasn’t been updated for a while but it might be the solution for 
   you?
 * WP Explorer also looks pretty neat:
