While the simplicity behind this extension is excellent, or rather would be if it worked.
When I first downloaded the extension I had to unzip it because you don't just download the component and module, you download a zip file containing zip files. Fine, no problem. Except when you try to extract the folder you get an error saying the file it is trying to extract already exists. Delete the newly created, blank file and click try again. Repeat this process for another file, and then you have your com and mod zip files! Whew! This could be some compatibility thing between whatever software the developer used to archive the files and Windows Vista on my end, but I have never had this problem before.
Next problem: goodbye SEO links, but in all fairness I knew about this before installation.
I then tried to access the component through the backend, only to be told I needed to create a "rubberdoc" folder in the Joomla root directory with open permissions. Hmm, ok, I guess, but that's certainly a strange way to go about it.
I finally upload some documents, and set a menu link to display all documents in my created category. Well, the link works fine, and the page layout is there, but the documents uploaded do not show up on the page. I then enabled the module that shows most recent documents, and the module showed my document just fine.
At this point I gave up on the extension and will be looking elsewhere.
