PDF Editor 2.6

This appears to be an excellent office tool for processing Adobe PDF files. Using the tools included, you can move and zoom the text and pictures and you can edit text blocks, insert text, empty lines or change the line breaks freely, just like a text editor or word processor.



The source code of the page is editable as well. You can use the program to read and write encrypted PDF files at your own will. The program leaves the layout untouched after saving if you don't want to change it.

Some features that caught my attention in this version are: a better selection of vector objects with the pointer, page tools like "Crop" or "Scan new page", the"brush" vector tool, export as text file, preview of the texts in the document for the function "Add text", support of all unicode characters with the function "Add text as vector object", the bookmarks are no longer lost when you combine multiple documents and much more.

Pluses: A large variety of settings and options for text and image editing, page adding, deleting or extracting; the option of exporting files in DOC (MS Word) or text format.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: Indeed a powerful PDF creation and editing software, not only an annotator; it includes all the functions needed for professional PDF creating, editing and encrypting. Get it now. It's worth the money.

Why is PaperCut Print Logger free?

PaperCut Print Logger provides a way to get a "taste" of some of the benefits that our applications offer. Our main development focus is our print management applications like PaperCut NG and PaperCut ChargeBack. If you need more than just logging, please check our other applications.

Do you provide support for PaperCut Print Logger?

Because Print Logger is a free application, we're not able to provide official support. If however you have a quick question, please feel free to contact support and our developers will do their best to help you out in their spare time.

Can I install PaperCut Print Logger on my server and monitor all network printing?

If your server is setup up to host print queues and workstations print to these shared queues, then installing PaperCut Print Logger on the server will monitor all printing. Computers with individually attached desktop printers will need Print Logger installed locally if monitoring these printers is desired. Consider PaperCut NG if you require centralized logging from multiple systems.

I have a virtual PDF printer or FAX printer installed. How do I stop PaperCut Print Logger from monitoring this printer/device?

Printers can be ignored by defining the printer's name in the IgnoredPrinters setting in the configuration file located at:

C:\Program Files\PaperCut Print Logger\print-logger.conf

Remember to restart the PaperCut Print Logger Service in Control Panel -> Services to apply this change.

I notice you offer solutions for Apple Mac and Linux. Why is Print Logger only available for Windows?

We may look at developing a version for Mac or Linux in the future. We first need to gauge popularity. If you're interested in a version for this platform, please email support and put your vote in!

Are you planning any new features?

The goal of Print Logger is to do one job (logging) and do it well. We may make minor tweaks and will continue to support new hardware. The main development goal however simply logging. If you're looking for advanced features please consider our other applications.

Does Print Logger support Microsoft Cluster Server?

Not officially, but you may be able to set it up using a similar procedure to the cluster setup notes for PaperCut NG. For official support in a cluster environment, please consider our other applications.

Can I use the data for reporting?

The raw print log data recorded is available in a Microsoft Excel format. You may be able to use many of the features of Excel or a similar program to summarize and construct reports. If you're after pre-built reporting features, please consider PaperCut NG.

VirtualBox – A powerful virtualization software

VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, VirtualBox is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.

VirtualBox is a package of strong x86 virtualization software for enterprise as well as home use.



Here are some key features of “VirtualBox”:

￭ Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don’t have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.

￭ Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

￭ Guest Additions for Windows and Linux. VirtualBox has special software that can be installed inside Windows and Linux virtual machines to improve performance and make integration much more seamless. Among the features provided by these Guest Additions are mouse pointer integration and arbitrary screen solutions (e.g. by resizing the guest window).

￭ Virtual USB Controllers. VirtualBox implements a virtual USB controller and allows you to connect arbitrary USB devices to your virtual machines without having to install device specific drivers on the host.

￭ Remote Desktop Protocol. Unlike any other virtualization software, VirtualBox fully supports the standard Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). A virtual machine can act as an RDP server, allowing you to “run” the virtual machine remotely on some thin client that merely displays the RDP data.

￭ USB over RDP. With this unique feature, a virtual machine that acts as an RDP server can still access arbitrary USB devices that are connected on the RDP client. This way, a powerful server machine can virtualize a lot of thin clients that merely need to display RDP data and have USB devices plugged in.

￭ Shared folders. Like many other virtualization solutions, for easy data exchange between hosts and guests, VirtualBox allows for declaring certain host directories as “shared folders”, which can then be accessed from within virtual machines

VirtualBox for Windows – VirtualBox for OS X – VirtualBox for Linux

VirtualBox for Solaris and OpenSolaris – Source Code

Image Writer for Windows 0.2

This utility is used to write Ubuntu img files to SD and USB cards. Simply run the utility, point it at your img, and then select the removable device to write to.

Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 170 KB in size.

Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple.

µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn’t available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they’re ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed

Here are some key features of “µTorrent”:

· Multiple simultaneous downloads
· Configurable bandwidth scheduler
· Global and per-torrent speed limiting
· Quick-resumes interrupted transfers
· RSS Downloader
· Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)

Requirements:

· Windows 95 users will need to install the Winsock2 Update from Microsoft for µTorrent to work correctly.
