Eh, you just owe me for the five minutes it took me to refine my
Google search to 'remove "PDF Maker" toolbar os-x'.

By the way, that search incorporated my two favorite little-known
Google tricks (this thread is OT, so I can talk about whatever I want!
:-P):

1. Adding a hyphen between terms (as in "os-x") searches for the terms
both together and separate (i.e. both "osx" and "os x" are found).
Since there is little regularity across the Internet in whether to
spell "OSX" with a space, I find this trick invaluable when looking
for info about the Mac operating system and other sometimes-compound
words.

2. Reordering words. I originally had "remove" at the end of the
search string since I added it late in the tweaking, but the order of
the search terms defines what bits of the page are displayed below the
page title (usually only the first three words or so get shown in that
preview). By keeping the most important terms at the beginning, I can
"pre-screen" my results for applicability by looking at the context in
which these words are used.

We now return to your regularly-scheduled programming... :)
