tomos, if you page down the PDFTK page to "Related Pages," you'll find two third-party GUIs for PDFTK. I don't know if they'll do what you want, but they're free so might be worth a look.-rjbull (March 02, 2010, 02:56 PM)
Tip: Not all the document information can be modified. Many fields are set at the time of creation or when last edited. For example, creation time, creator, producer, optimization, PDF version, etc.so that doesnt seem to be of help.
nuance has nice layout features and powerful editing features. But I wouldn't use it for my viewer.-superboyac (March 01, 2010, 12:38 PM)
superboyac, I take it that refers to the full Nuance package - you don't mean the free reader has any editing features?-rjbull (March 01, 2010, 04:21 PM)
Not sure if appropriate to re-open this thread, but has anyone tried this yet?
Nuance PDF ReaderIntroducing a free PDF reader that's small in size and big on features.
Get ready to rethink your choice of free PDF reader. Nuance PDF Reader enables you to do much more than just view PDF files. You can convert PDF files to Word®, Excel®, and RTF via a hosted web service. Use annotation tools to highlight, cross-out, and underline text for more effective collaboration. Even fill out and save PDF forms. Nuance PDF Reader takes up less disk space, is more secure than Adobe® Reader®, and works with virtually any PDF file. Best of all, it’s absolutely free, proving that you really can get a whole lot of something for nothing.-NigelH (February 20, 2010, 03:12 PM)
I have a password defined for my user and I have to, it's required by a remote control tool I use. I'm willing to add support for auto-login at boot myself if you do not want to do it.-snark_be (February 28, 2010, 04:32 PM)
Great step-by-step tutorial on setting up a pc to auto fill in password for use with BootSnooze at Windows Guides:-mouser (February 13, 2010, 08:44 AM)
I use Autohotkey. Can you translate the script from AutoIt?-jdd (March 01, 2010, 08:32 AM)
[...] to thank you for creating this useful piece of software [...]-shirty (February 27, 2010, 11:49 PM)
Zoner may be cheaper, but it's not the same level of product. I suspect it is upgraded more frequently too since it is now on v 12 and 11 was described on one site as being new in March 2009.-Dormouse (February 22, 2010, 09:08 AM)
It does, however, by default adds launched items to a launchhistory, which can be cleared from the options.-d4ni (February 26, 2010, 10:39 AM)
when i changed the archivetime to every 10 minutes, but now i get a new file every 10 minutes.
It's in the format Log_yyyy_MM_dd_dddd[number].anu
like Log_yyyy_MM_dd_dddd[1].anu and Log_yyyy_MM_dd_dddd[2].anu and Log_yyyy_MM_dd_dddd[3].anu
isn't it possible to just append to the file if it already exists in the format.-DeVamp (February 23, 2010, 10:03 AM)
This is actually a very elegant way to solve the issue. Anybody else have thoughts on this?-skwire (February 26, 2010, 02:44 AM)
What?! Is this a special privilege? What's the alternative? That it stops working after a year? Is someone going to come and make me uninstall it?-superboyac (February 26, 2010, 12:50 AM)
i think there is a key distinction one needs to make in terms of what is and is not a subscription based license. as long as the previous version still works after the period, then i think you are talking about an upgrade price not a subscription fee. it's only when the program stops working and you have to pay to continue using the software, that you have a subscription system.-mouser (February 25, 2010, 04:33 PM)
Beautiful.-mouser (February 24, 2010, 04:55 PM)
Thanks, mouser. The photos were made for a digital photography evening class, from about a week before Christmas to end end of January. It was bitterly cold, but the light was some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.-rjbull (February 25, 2010, 09:44 AM)
I have been looking for a long time for a program that will shrink/compress a pdf file and just came across this post. The program that SKA mentioned called PDFShrinK 4.5 http://www.apagoinc.com/prod_home.php?prod_id=36 is incredible. It has the capability to reduce most of the files I tested to a fraction of the original size with very little loss in resolution. Great find!!!-jdd (February 23, 2010, 08:05 PM)
and it works fine here with XPI'm under the impression that Softmaker 2010 is now out of beta. I haven't tried it, but I was impressed the few times I've used the 2008 version.-cyberdiva (February 22, 2010, 10:05 PM)
I've found that the fastest way to get anything done is to slow down - Screw the "Big Picture" it's fuzzy chaotic and detail-less. Well defined problems always have simple answers and frenetic motion just wastes energy. Stick to the nuts & bolts.
Looking at a project in it's entirety can/will quickly overwhelm you, so just pick part of it, an small part and boil it down to its most basic form ... Then do that. And the next bit, and the next...and pretty soon you'll find yourself at the other end if it - Done. Now step back for a "Big Picture" view of only that project. If anything is missing do that (only), if not move to next project.-Stoic Joker (February 21, 2010, 01:03 PM)
I'm thinking of maybe wiping off one of my computers, putting myself in a locked room and make sure the only thing on that computer is the project I wanna work on, and NOTHING else, not even pre-installed games like Solitaire and such lol-Stephen66515 (February 21, 2010, 01:12 PM)
[...] they didn't stop to think maybe they got the wrong site, they just assumed someone had "broken their Facebooks!!1!1" and then proceeded to make incredibly retarded comments about it. *That* is stupid. Yes, I stand by that. Did it not even cross these people's minds that it could be another site? They've been to other sites on the Internet besides Facebook, right? Or at the least they know other sites *exist*... so, they're idiots.-JavaJones (February 20, 2010, 04:19 PM)
that's a more advanced science. I learned that way myself (without being taught & pretty much without help) but I was curious and interested - it still took years for me to understand lots of stuff (it was probably helpful I only had dial-up - I was learning at a dial-up pace) and I'm still likely to make very stupid mistakes with programmes - I'd be good to dummy-test apps for App 
They call me a lucky dog. I often have a little work to do for my father, who sometimes say I a good helper. In fact, I like reading a lot, esp. newspapers and stories. It's also good to have nothing to do but listen to some light music with a glass of green tea.-bluesear (February 19, 2010, 02:19 AM)
http://www.backupcreations.com/forum/| New Features In Version 5 (Preview now available for Windows) Support for Google Docs You can now synchronize with Google Docs! The functionality is described here. Embedded SQL Database An embedded Firebird SQL Database Server is now being used for the reference databases. This adds only 2 MB to the download and it does not need any configuration. It is used for SmartTracking, for the Destination Cache and for storing the checksums for Partial File Updating. The SQL server communicates directly via its DLL file, so there is no TCP/IP or other interprocess communication that would be seen by Firewalls. Embedded Firebird runs as part of the Superflexible or ExtremeSync processes. Firebird is a great improvement over the old database structure, especially in terms of reliability and scalability. It can store an unlimited number of file entries and other data without becoming much slower. A separate database file is created for each job (like before). Old databases are automatically converted. Differential Versioning Backup You can now combine Partial File Updating with Versioning, Zipping and Encryption and use it with any backup storage location, including FTP and other Internet Protocols. Checkboxes to choose: - tab sheet Special: "Partial File Updating" (without Remote Service) - tab sheet Zipping: "Zip Each File Individually" The option "Filename Encoding" on the Versioning tab sheet is automatically active in this use case. The Zip file sizes can now be limited too so that large files can be split (only in conjunction with Partial File Updating). The transfer can be stopped any time and zip parts already uploaded won't be lost. Be sure to keep all zip files on the destination as they may all be needed to reassemble the file upon restore. Any older version can be restored by choosing the desired target date in the Restore Wizard, or by right-clicking the file in the Sync Preview and choosing the desired version. The option "Keep multiple files" is implied and does not need to be checked. It cannot be used to limit the number of older versions. All older versions must be kept on the backup. A method to limit the number of older files that need to be kept on the backup storage is currently being developed and suggestions on the best strategy are welcome. Block-level copying is applied to files which are at least 400,000 bytes in size. The granularity of the differential backup is determined dynamically for each file, based on its size. The smallest block size used will be 2048 bytes. Each partial backup includes an MD5 checksum for each file, so that restored files can be verified to be 100% correct. You can see this in the file MD5.TXT that the partial zips contain. |
