Got mine at the end of the purchase process, when asked to fill up my name & decide whether I had bought Task Catcher or WinPatrol.  I didn't get it by mail (maybe later on).

Excel always has issues with these.  Whenever I start copying/pasting cells around in excel and I have the clipboard managers running, I get some kind of error about clipboard chains and what not coming up with every copy paste keystroke.  It's annoying as hell.  I've scoured the net and can't figure out a way to get excel to play nice with them.  I don't want to disable them because I use each for particular

Did you try Clipcache pro from Xrayz (not Linkstash actually, another of their products) ?  I use it since a few weeks ago, and it works fine with Excel 2007.

Hi,
I am about to finish the installment # 6 of "The Plant" by S. King.  I think I started the series about 10 years ago...

I second the "Clarify" suggestion, it is excellent, very intuitive to use yet powerful.

Version 1 was not interesting but I found V2 to be OK, in a very short trial I made.

Yes, after tax when using USD & Paypal, it says $11.90 with $1.90 as VAT.

As mentioned elsewhere here on DC, there is a simple yet powerful solution : clipcachepro (goto www.xrayz.co.uk).  All you have to do is copy text or picture and voilĂ , they are saved in the database.  Not quite drag and drop but close to.

Did you try UltraRecall, I think it supports most drag&drop actions.

Sorry to hear that.  If you're not disgusted with Paragon/Revo, you may try to download Paragon Emergency Recovery bootable media builder, build a bootable media and try to fix your machine with it.

Here's a little single purpose program in AutoIt that will:

Thanks a lot, will try it ASAP !

Fair enough - but in some editors (acrobat?) you can embed the fonts you need to avoid this problem.

The problem with bitmap versions is if you want good quality printable versions of multipage documents they will get very large.

The real issue is to be sure that the PDF will be the exact copy of the original Word document.  When there are many pages all with a lot of mathematical formulas, spotting manually an error due to a font or whatever other reason in a text structured PDF is virtually impossible.  Granted, the size of created files could be an issue, but it appears more manageable than random errors that would slip through.

BTW, I tried PDF Image Printer and it's exactly what I want.  Except for the price tag...

187

I use priPrinter Pro and the PDF is structured - not a bitmap.


Thanks for the info and for the link !

188
-yes. The first image in my first post was made exactly how you said:

Ok, thanks.  My question was also : where do you change the settings ?

Currently trying Partition Guru Free version (previously Drive Genius), seems a nice solution too.  Many tools are packed in this one, beyond simple file recovery....

190
2/ the output quality (tif to pdf) is quite poor (maybe a setting in an irfanview plugin ?)
...
yes, re-check your settings. The quality can be surprisingly good, if you set them to be.
...
Thanks.  You are referring to irfanview plugin settings ?

191
Regarding PDF Image Printer, I am trying to install it within sandboxie, but it fails so far.  I have to find another test machine...  Will Try PriPrinter too...

192
Thanks all, will look into it !

193
I googled "print to jpg" just out of curiousity, several things there.

If you could print directly to a jpg or tiff (with no loss of quality), may be you could write a script to send the graphic output to a pdf maker etc.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

194
Exactly, thanks !

I currently do the following : I use the Office Document Image Writer virtual printer to convert a .doc into a .tif, then irfanview to convert the .tif into a pdf, but there are 2 annoyances :

1/ 2 steps are required
2/ the output quality (tif to pdf) is quite poor (maybe a setting in an irfanview plugin ?)

Edited : the reason I want to use an image format rather than a text format is to avoid any possible error when converting the .doc file to the .pdf format, such as font missing and substituted by another one, etc. .  So far, all "regular" word to pdf software show a few errors here and there.  I really want a 100% perfect copy within the pdf, whatever font/text/image is used in the source document.

195
Let say I have a word document.  I want to create a PDF from this word document, that would look as a printout of the document, except I don't want it to be "structured", I want the pdf to be equivalent to the one created by a scanner (hardware + software) after I print the .doc to paper and scan the printed paper to a pdf.

In such cases, the pdf doesn't contain text but only images.

196
Hi,

I am looking for a virtual printer software such as doPDF, cutePDf, etc. except that the result of the output from this virtual printer would be a pdf identical to one generated by a scanned copy of the original document (no text inside, just a picture per page).
Do you know any software that does it, in one pass only ?

Thanks.

...

So does anyone know of any other desktop search programs than can index network shares that won't cost an arm and a leg? A modern interface that shows file previews & doesn't look like it was programmed for Windows For Workgroups would be a major plus.


Did you try lookout v 1.30 you can still find as a freeware (Apache License) here and there on the net.  Microsoft bought the technology and integrated it (supposedly) in Desktop Search, the main difference is that the original version works much better and is not bloated.  It's mainly built to index outlook messages but it also indexes regular files (including office format, up to 2003 at least).  I would give it a go.

probably it can burn a CD by now... But this messing with your boot, installing a boot manager and hocus pocus around the key, well, it put me off. But somehow it needs to install something at the book layer. Software seems well aware of other OSes from their website, but still...

Boot thingies and partition level changes break machines. I am not doing this BEFORE I have made a backup copy.

Oh wait, I'm installing this so I can do a backup copy.

Ah, well, let me install some other backup tool first then...

And years later I remind myself how I bought this software untested and never got around to using it, and feel cheated.

I wonder whether you are referring to BootItNG, (now BootIt Bare Metal) rather than Image for Windows ? BING is indeed a partition manager, which proposed to install itself on a new partition, which, in some cases, can cause problems.

Not much to say besides the song being pretty good and the video being a huge shoutout to old adventure games and consoles.

Wow, this brings back a lot of memories...

I read they have a 60 days refund policy.  So, after having read the small print, you may possibly try without a risk ?
