I'll second that. I'm glad you reminded me. I used it years ago, it was wonderful. Way to go. For .pdf go OCR.

Hi guys. Just noticed this on my way out. See my thread there about which prog to use to convert .pdf to .doc Seems .pdf is meant to be unviolable, secure, 'encrypted'(so to speak) communication and those that use it as such are often offended by the very existence of those seeking to...

Yes, well that's well said and I thank you both for taking the trouble to say it. I've never seen it said so clearly. Certainly never by Adobe (not that I spend much time reading Adobe ads I hasten to add). It is what I thought was the case, though. But I persevere with looking for...

Thanks for the tip, Mel. I've got Acrobat 5 and it offers me no such choice. I got Solid Converter and it seems to be pretty good. Wouldn't do this file I've got though. It's a spec sheet I've got to forward on while hiding the name of the source and it seems to be written in blue ink on a...

I just want to either edit .pdf files as they are or change them into something that I can edit, such as a Word .doc I've got Acrobat,Photoshop and Premiere and none of them seem to do the job, though Photoshop comes close, sort of. Can I do it with these products? Or what else do I need? I'm...

I've got the two win2k machines pinging each other happily. I had to set something else in the Sygate firewall, even though it had the setting I mentioned. And this machine has Zone Alarm on it - I put the other two machines in the trusted zone there and as a result I can see the other - ping...

Well, I've got Sygate on 192.168.1.4 and it has TCP/IP ping command as allowed full access. But I still can't ping it from 192.168.1.5. Times out.

HI... I've got a peer to peer network of one win98 machine and two win2k machines, all plugged into a switch and a adsl modem/router also plugged into that switch. I find I can't ping other machines on that network. For instance, this win2k machine I'm writing on is 192.168.1.5 and the...

Thanks again. I've now got a directory with 40 objects in it and my head's spinning... :)

Thanks. I'll take your advice. We've got to learn to move on, don't we. :)

I've got Premier 6 and I want to make SVCD's from my canon A520 film clips and stills. I'm only using Premier because I can't find anything else to do the job. Ulead Movie Factory will make a VCD happily but stops processing SVCD with an error message. And there's some hassle with Power...

Guys I got the answer from another forum. I'll put it here for those with an interest: It's a standard feature in Word 2002 and up. Just go File/Page Setup and in Margins choose 'book fold'. Set a gutter size. Choose how many pages to have in each binding. Set your orientation. No problem...

I have a document of some 90+ pages that I want to print out with far fewer pages if I can. It is currently formatted in two columns on landscape oriented A4. That brings it down to 90+ pages. Now the problem is: how to organise it so that I can make a booklet by stapling these pages together...

Please excuse my ignorance - I don't even know what VCL is - and perhaps I shouldn't even be sticking my neck in here but I'm going to anyway.... as quickly as I can... Years ago I was a Clipper programmer. Way before OOPs. That's an extensible compilable dBase language, or was. Very looked...

That's what I'm doing - putting pictures and sounds with the keypresses. The problem I'm trying to address now - and I've sort of wasted everyone's time from the beginning of this thread getting down to an accurate description of it - is 'how to keep him in the programme?' I don't much...
