A free PDF printer to convert any documents to PDF

This post is going to introduce one free PDF convertor which is really helpful for many of us.

Although doPDF works like a print driver, it installs normally like any Windows program. During the installation process, you have the option to set doPDF as your default printer, which can be handy for business PCs that are mostly used to generate electronic documents such as invoices and purchase orders. You can also set up the program with a wide range of languages, too -- all of them or as many as you need.

doPDF is a tool that can convert any printable document to a PDF, whether it's a text file, image or other. It doesn't have any advanced features, so it has been designed for a simple conversion process.

In "Properties", you can select page size as predefined (e.g. A4, Letter) or custom (by manually setting its height and width), set the unit type (millimeters, inches, points), configure graphic details (resolution and scale) and set orientation (portrait, landscape).
Then you can set the output name and destination, select "Small file" or "High quality images" and optionally enable doPDF to always use the current output folder, open PDF in reader or embed fonts.

9 reasons to use this free PDF converter

1. It’s simple and fast - you select WHAT document to convert and WHERE to save it and doPDF makes the PDF way before you finish saying supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
2. Saves you money - doPDF is a PDF converter free for both commercial/business and personal use. Won't cost you a dime to make PDF files (but we'll love you even more if you upgrade to novaPDF).
3. 32-bit and 64-bit support - same setup can be used to install doPDF on both 32 and 64-bit Windows operating systems (and any 32-bit multiple when the time will come).
4. Universal - you can convert to PDF any type of printable document (i.e. DOC, XLS, PPT, PUB, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PUBX, HTML, TXT,...).
5. No GhostScript or .NET - doesn’t require 3rd party programs to make PDF files such as GhostScript or runtime environments like the .NET Framework. This makes the setup file to be incredibly small compared to other free PDF creator programs.
6. Searchable PDFs - you can search for text within the created PDF file (and search engines will also index the text from the PDF).
7. Multi-language - doPDF is the ONLY free pdf maker whose interface is currently available in 33 different languages and has a website translated in 30 languages (and growing, thanks to our translators).
8. Barely uses any computer resources - compared to other free PDF creator software, doPDF barely uses any memory or CPU resources when doing the actual conversion to PDF.
9. Do your part in saving the planet - instead of consuming paper to print your document, why not create a PDF file out of it and spare a couple of planet-saving trees?

Looking for start menu in windows 8?

Are you a Windows 8 user? Still miss the classic start menu in windows 8? Do you really need it? Or are you just looking for some comforting familiarity?

In windows 8, Microsoft is forced people to use their new tile start screen (similar to Android & Apple home screen) , instead of classic start menu which was very familiar with most of the people around the world. Tile start screen will be easy for tablet-PC, smartphone and touch screen users. Nowadays tablet-PC and smartphones are most wanted gadget in IT market. This is why may be Microsoft changed their old face too.

Now come to the point. In this post we are going to introduce some third party free application which help you to bring classic start menu in windows 8.

Some applications are currently in beta stage of development,hence a project in progress. so you may face some force close issue or slow response to our input.

Pokki

Where classic shell tries to replicate the Windows of yesteryear, Pokki (free) is very much its own beast. I have to admit that Pokki is probably even better. It utilizes a neat “pinning” system that isn’t unlike the home screen of your smartphone or tablet. You can also add widgets to Pokki, such as Gmail or Facebook, which display your latest email or status updates.

By default, Pokki will configure your Windows 8 system to boot straight to the Desktop — and there is an option that will just completely disable the hot corners (hot corner means: where you get the windows 8 settings, search by hover your mouse in corners) , if you so desire.

Download Pokki (free)

 

Classic Shell

Classic Shell is open-source donation-ware that gives you the option of a classic (Windows 98ish), Windows XP, or Vista/7 Start menu. At its most basic, it puts a Start button back on your taskbar — but as always with third-party utilities, it has a ton of other features and settings that you can tweak to your heart’s content (in Classic Shell’s case, there’s probably too many tweakable settings). I don’t think so there is an option to boot straight to Desktop in Classic Shell.

Download Classic Shell (free)

 

Power8

The Power8 displays a Start button in the usual spot on the desktop. Clicking on that button brings up the familiar two-pane menu. From the left pane, you can pin your favorite applications and access all your programs via the Programs menu. From the right pane, you can open specific folders, such as Computer, Libraries, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Network.

Right-clicking on Power8's Start button triggers a pop-up menu with several options. The settings command lets you customize the software's behavior. You can set it to auto start each time you log in to Windows 8. You can also resize the button or change its image.

Download Power8 (free)

 

There are many other application also available to do the same job with many advantages and disadvantages. So far I prefer to use the 1st one “POKKI”

Remember: Windows+C key combination pops open the Charms menu, if you need.

How to fix corrupt windows user profile

Every user in the Windows OS has a user folder associated with the account name which  stores computer settings and data.A common problem with Windows machines is a corrupt user profile.So windows fails to recognize the user profile and folder that is linked to the user account.This can be caused by a hard drive error, joining/leaving a domain, file system issues and a change of username.What will happen in this case is that the next time the user logs-on, a fresh, empty profile will be created, named 'user.domain' or 'user.computer' instead of just 'user' -and from that point on, the new profile will be used instead of the correct one.

Before we start learning how we fix any corrupt account make sure you have a an account which either is admin or is  admin privileged.

All the Windows User Profiles are located under C:\Users\UserName which contains all our settings. Now go to your account and unhide hidden folders and uncheck Hide Protected operating system files. You would see three files NTUSER.DAT, NTUSER.dat.log and ntuser.ini which you will need to be careful about.

• Login with your admin account and  create new account.
• Now identify which user profile is corrupted and  go to that folder which will be like C:\Users\UserName
• Unhide Folders / Files and display system files
• Copy everything from this folder  except three files NTUSER.DAT, NTUSER.dat.log and ntuser.ini
• Go to new account folder located under C:\users and paste all the files you copied in above step.
• Logoff and login to the new account to confirm.
• Delete the old account.

This should fix your problems. Remember many a times because of some bug you might see Windows giving you a brand new profile but if you logoff and try logging in again you would see the issues getting fixed.

There is another alternative called as Reprofiler a software which can also help you in fix these issues by remapping users to their profiles, fixing registry settings and permissions which is required to fix any corrupt windows account.

It displays all the user accounts above and all the windows users folder below. Now to fix it or map to any other account you can just select first a user name above and a folder below and then hit Assign. This will make sure it copies and assigns proper settings. You can also remove / detach folders which is useful when it comes to erase the data.

How to Protect Your Flash Drive Data with TrueCrypt

Are worry about your confidential files which is you are always carrying on your flash drive? here is the solution.

With the help of TrueCrypt, you can easily protect the data stored your flash drive so that if it is lost or stolen, nobody will be able to get to your sensitive files.

Creating a TrueCrypt Volume

Plug in the flash drive you want to protect data on copy any data you want to protect onto a folder on your hard disk. We will move them to the encrypted volume once we are done.

The process of creating an encrypted file container for a flash drive is no different from the normal TrueCrypt process. If you are familiar with how to do this already, you can skip this section or just scroll through it for a quick refresher.

From the Tools menu, select Volume Creation Wizard.

Select the option to Create an encrypted file container.

We do not want to select the option to encrypt a non-system partition/drive because this would prevent us from loading the files required to mount a TrueCrypt volume on our flash drive. This would mean the computer we plug our flash drive into would have to already have TrueCrypt installed in order to access our data.

Select the option to create a Standard TrueCrypt volume.

Set the destination to a file located on your flash drive.

Set your encryption options. The default values will do nicely.

Set the size for the encrypted volume. Make sure you leave at least 10 MB free so there is room for the TrueCrypt files required for mounting and dismounting the volume.

Set a strong password.

Wait patiently while the TrueCrypt volume is created.

Loading the TrueCrypt Binary Files on Your Flash Drive

In order to access your encrypted volume on systems which do not have TrueCrypt loaded, you must load the required binary files needed to mount the container on the host system. Thankfully, TrueCrypt has a function which makes this easy.

From the Tools menu, select Traveler Disk Setup.

We will come back to what this notice means a bit later.

Browse to the drive letter of your flash drive under the File Settings.

Under AutoRun Configuration, select the option to Auto-mount the TrueCrypt volume and then set the following options:

• Enter the file name only of the TrueCrypt volume file.
• Select First available as the drive letter.
• Select the option Open Explorer window for mounted volume.

Create traveler disk with the set options.

This is an important notice.

In order for TrueCrypt to mount a volume on a host system, one of the following conditions must be met:

1. TrueCrypt must be installed natively on the host system already.
2. You must have administrative rights on the host system.

The reason you need administrative rights if TrueCrypt is not installed natively is due to the requirement that a system driver must be loaded on the host system in order to mount the encrypted volume. Since only administrators can load and unload system drivers, you must have this level of access or you will not be able to mount the TrueCrypt driver.

On the other hand, if the driver is already present on the host (i.e. TrueCrypt is installed natively), you should be able to mount your encrypted driver with normal user level access.

Once the traveler disk setup is complete, you should see your flash drive shows with a TrueCrypt icon in Windows Explorer.

Easily Opening the TrueCrypt Volume on the Host Machine

Once you have configured your flash drive as a TrueCrypt Traveler Disk, opening the contents in Windows Explorer should look something like the screen below.

Notice there is an autorun.inf file which was created during the setup. Getting back to the message box we said we would discuss later, this is intended to run automatically when the flash drive is plugged into the host machine, however most Windows machines have the AutoRun option disabled (as they should), so this will never execute. Because of this, you will have to mount and dismount your TrueCrypt volume manually.

Of course, doing it manually isn’t acceptable so with a couple of batch scripts we can easily mount and dismount the TrueCrypt volume with a double-click.

Open the autorun.inf file in Notepad and copy the text following the line which begins with “open=”.

Create a new text file called MountTC.bat and paste what you previously copied into this file. When run, this batch file will mount the TrueCrypt volume stored on the flash drive onto the host system.

Back in the autorun.inf file, copy the text following the line which begins with “shell\dismount\command=”.

Create a new text file called DismountTC.bat and paste what you previously copied into this file. When run, this batch file will dismount all the TrueCrypt volumes on the host system.

When finished, you should see the two batch files we created in your flash drive.

Opening the TrueCrypt Volume

After you plug in the flash drive to the host machine if the TrueCrypt volume does not attempt to mount itself automatically, simply run the MountTC.bat file. Remember, TrueCrypt must be natively installed or you have to have administrative rights on the host machine. You will get a UAC prompt if TrueCrypt is not natively installed, so confirm you want to continue.

Enter your password for the TrueCrypt volume.

Your volume will be mounted and your encrypted files will now appear.

Copy any files you want to protect inside of your TrueCrypt volume and nobody will be able to access them without the password.

Once you are finished, simply run the DismountTC.bat file and your TrueCrypt volume will be gracefully dismounted.

Important Security Notice

It is important to understand that while your files are encrypted on the flash drive, once you mount the TrueCrypt volume on the host machine, they are at the mercy of this machine. As a result, you should be careful where you decide to access your files.
