General Software Discussion / advanced pdf edit software
« on: July 27, 2009, 09:19 PM »
hello

I try to add text forms in a pdf, but in all the software I have tried, you have to drag the text rectangular to fix a space and make it text form

isn't there any software that will automaticaly create the appropriate rectangular when you click inside an area that is surrounded by lines?

also, isn't there any software that will enable you specify precisely the dimensions of the text form? (how many inches, in which exact position etc)

last, I would like to create a text form of specific width, height, lenght and duplicate it and paste it in various positions inside a pdf

do you know any pdf software that can do these?

thanks

General Software Discussion / extract text from pdf
« on: July 16, 2009, 11:14 AM »
hello

can you help me please extract the text from this pdf file http://stashbox.org/571279/mydocument.pdf
1) I would like each line to appear in one line (by line, I mean the text between "begining of line symbol"  and "end of line symbol")
for some reason all the pdf editor software I tried they cannot find correctly where the line should end, so they break the lines
2) I don't want the columns to appear (no pdf editor has the option to ignore the columns) nore the page numbers at the end of the pages, etc neither those arrows at the begining of each line
3) all the other special characters of this pdf can be typed in a rich text file
for some reason all the pdf editor software I tried cannot reproduce them accurately, for example index letters etc
also, the spanish characters cannot be recognized and reproduced well (á, é, í, etc)

I just want the text (but accurately), not the page appearance

can anyone help me please?


thanks

General Software Discussion / Text Form Fields in MS Office
« on: July 02, 2009, 09:33 AM »
hello

here http://office.micros.../HP051899431033.aspx
it says to use the Forms toolbar to insert fields in a form

I wonder, since all commands are supposedly included in menus, which menu does this function?

thanks

hello

in MS Word, in order to align decimal numbers according to their decimal point, we need to first set a decimal tab stop and then go to that point via TAB key and start typing, and the alignment will be on the fly as we write

however I need to do that type of alignment in an already typed list of decimal numbers

how can I do that?

also, in the line tab stop, how can I adjust the distance between the line and the text? and how can I remove that line? it is still there even if I choose to remove all tab stops

thanks

hello I have some questions about basic IT science

1) I know that the K before a metric unit means x1,000 (eg kcal means kilo calories, which is 1,000 calories), but why 1KB is 1,024 bytes and not 1,000 bytes?

2) since 1KB is 1,024 bytes, 1Kb in how many bits is equivalent to? 1,024 bits or 1,000 bits or something else?

3) a character (letter or digit) stored, is 1 bit or 1 byte?

4) I read "Some sources define a kilobit to mean 1,024 (that is, 210) bits", what the part "(that is, 210)" mean actually? I mean, how they come up with 210???

5) since data is stored in clusters (of magnetic media), why there are bad sectors? I mean, how does a whole sector go bad and not just a cluster?

6) why the common area of a track and TWO sectors is called cluster, but there is no definition for the common area of a track and ONE sector, which is smaller area and thus it is more accurate be used as a unit or area?

7) when do we choose to use bit and when byte (as metric units)? in which occasions?

8) what type of information can registers of CPU hold? what kind of functions can ALU of CPU perform?

thanks!

General Software Discussion / monitor ink usage
« on: May 12, 2009, 06:28 PM »
hello

recently my printing volume increased dramatically and I researched for an economic way to use my Canon IP4300 by refilling the cartidges

however, if the chip is not reset the printer stops to monitor ink usage and thus there is a risk of trying to print with empty cartidge which harms printer

there are auto reset chips or chip resetters, however I wouldn't waste more money on them (the cost would exceed the printer cost itself) and waste time to reset them

thus, I would like to somehow accurately and reliably monitor ink usage, by monitoring pages printed, ink coverage on each page, etc, so that to use a software method to alert when ink would run low

is there a solution like this?
if you have other solutions for cheap printing please inform me

thanks!

General Software Discussion / corrupted file after power disruption
« on: November 26, 2008, 06:26 AM »
hello

I was using a software (mirc) and this software reads a txt file (script.ini) to perform some actions, it does NOT write on this file anything

but when the power of the laptop stopped, and I had to reboot, this file was corrupted (it contained NULL characters when opened with notepad)

1. is there a way to restore it?

2. why this happened? I mean, since there was no write activity at this file at all, why just reading the file got the file corrupted? is it winxp or hard disk's fault?

3. how can I prevent such failures in the future?

thanks

General Software Discussion / image problem
« on: September 28, 2008, 05:22 AM »
hello

I scan at TIF 600dpi greyscale in my scanner

as you can see in this screenshot, the scanner somehow produces images with some marks around the characters, I don't know if glossy paper is responsible for this (the marks look like reflections) or the scanner or something else

this is the crop of a scanned page:
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8014/33734607td2.png


this is the same crop but with lowered brightness and contrast in photoshop that makes those marks much more visible:
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/2667/11316679dt4.png


the marks around the characters cause problems to the OCR program and this reports some characters as 'uncertain characters' or recognizes them erroneously

do you know what causes this and if there is a way to fix it

thanks
