Apps
I'm currently using Google Search Box (by the creator of Quicksilver), but I'm intrigued by LaunchBar.
I recently installed Notational Velocity. I love the concept, and I especially love the notion of using the search bar for both searching and creating docs. It's very similar to Collab:Link As You Think. However, Evernote seems to play the same role, and WriteRoom (or Aquamacs in full-screen mode, which is what I use) is better for distraction-free writing.

In the old days, Adobe provided a PDF printer driver, but that no longer is available as of 10.6 (Snow Leopard). CUPS-PDF is an open source alternative based on CUPS, but it's not clear how possible it is to customize. For example, I would like to have different options for paper size, but it's not clear / easy how to do that.
