A Free Online Tool for Converting and Creating PDFs

Posted by Technology Cracks
                                                PDF is probably the most used file format in the business world today. It’s a convenient format for business purposes because it is a universal file format that looks the same no matter if you are viewing it on a Windows, Mac or Linux operated computer. It’s also a very compact file format, which makes it ideal for sending and receiving information. The compactness of the file format also makes the PDF a popular choice for archiving files.

The one big problem PDFs have is that they are not editable. So if you ever receive information as a PDF that you need to use and manipulate further, you are going to have to extract this information from the PDF and convert it into another, more usable file format.




While there are many PDF conversion tools on the market available both as downloadable software and online solutions, there are not many that are free. PDFConverter.com is a service that does offer completely free and accurate PDF conversions, however.
With this great online tool, users can convert their PDFs into more editable formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. On top of that, this service can also be used to convert just about any type of file into a PDF. Here are some of its most prominent benefits:

Nothing to download or install

The convenience of this tool lies in the fact that the entire process is handled online from your browser. There is no need to download or install any conversion software. This also protects you from various viruses and malware that many downloadable free tools often come with.

Accurate conversions despite being free

Even though the service is free, the conversions are still top notch. Once converted, the files will mirror the formatting of your original file, which will save you a lot of time. You won’t have to spend time editing your converted files further in order to get them to look right.

All it takes is three easy steps

Every one of the four conversions offered can be done in three easy steps.
1. Select the file you want to convert from your computer.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Click “Start” to convert the file.
And that’s all there is to it. Once your file is converted, an email will be sent to the address you have inputted. There will be a download link in the email, which you will be able to use to download your newly converted file to your computer.

Privacy is guaranteed

The service guarantees that your email information will never be given or sold to third parties. On top of that, all of your files will be deleted from the server after a period of 24 hours. Just make sure that you download your converted files within that 24-hour window.
For anyone who is looking for a free service that lets you convert PDFs into more editable file formats such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint - but also create PDFs from a vast variety of file types - these four free PDFConverter.com tools should do nicely.

Best 10 Hidden Features of Windows 8

Posted by Technology Cracks 2 Comments
Now days so many people think that Windows 7 is better than Windows 8.But I shortlisted why Windows 8 is better compared to Windows 7.Windows 8 is the latest version that was released from Microsoft. It adds more features and I listed some of the Features that are existed in Windows 8.

  Hidden start menu


        So many people are shocking that where is start button in Windows 8.But there exists an Hidden Start button .It provides many Options like Device manager, Disk Management etc..,.
Actually it’s not a start button it’s a shortcut using Win+X.


  Easy Screenshot

In windows Image capturing is done very easily by simple Pressing Win+Prtscr it automatically saves as PNG files.

   Fast booting Time

               In windows 7 the minimum boot time is 1 minute. But whereas for Windows 8 the boot time is less than 20 seconds. This is called as hybrid boot.
This is the excellent feature that was developed by Microsoft. Even whenever you shutdown It takes less than 10 seconds and in the same way for start-up it takes less than 20 seconds.

  Improved Task Manager      


     The task manger of windows 7 was vanished and added much more information in Windows 8.It added the performance like CPU usage, Memory Usage, Disk Usage, Bluetooth Usage, Ethernet Usage and Wi-Fi Usage.

  Synchronize your settings 

                     If you are using the Microsoft Live account you can directly synchronize the personalisation settings and other Windows settings with your online account. These settings can also be synchronised by Multiple PC’s.


  Excellent File Transfer               

          Windows 8 takes very less time for transferring files compared to Windows 7.In windows 8 the transfer rate is around 20MB/sec.
This is also one of the best features of Windows 8.               

  Inbuilt PDF Reader              

          Windows 8 provides Default PDF Reader which helps not to install any other third party softwares like Adobe Reader etc..

  An Excellent Option of Reset and Refresh


    This is one of the feature that was existed in Windows 8 which is not existed in Windows 7.Reset and Refresh are two options that are existed in Windows 8.
Refresh: 
              If your PC is not  working Properly then you use this option .
Reset:
   Reset is nothing but removing all the apps from the PC and again reinstall Windows without the OS CD.

  Inbuilt Anti-virus and Anti-spyware

         Why to use third part Antivirus? It’s better to use the Microsoft Security Essentials if you are using Genuine Windows 8.It has some better advantage if any other third software like Avast or Avira is installed automatically Microsoft Security Essentials will be automatically turned off .It is the best advantage.
    
Disadvantage of using more than one anti-virus.
     
    One software file (Avast software file) detects another software file(Avira software file) as Virus and both will crash and finally No anti-virus works for your PC.

  Mounting ISO files without using any third party software

       In windows 8 there is a special feature.you can view /mount ISO files directly without using any other external software. Whenever you just double click on ISO files it automatically creates a Virtual Drive.


         Drawbacks of Windows 8


1.  No start button. You can check out the post how I get thestart button in Windows 8
2.  Bluescreenof Death.Check out the Post to Fix Blue Screen of Death in Windows 8.
3.  Check out here toactivate Windows 8 using 7PMtech.

Increase battery life of a laptop

                

#1.Reduce your Screen Brightness

      According to my point of view the biggest power drop is due to screen brightness. So reduce the Brightness to lower level that you are comfortable to do work. No need to sacrifice your eye for the sake of just half an hour extra battery. But my suggestion is to reduce screen brightness as much as you are willing to do work.
Reduce the Screen brightness


#2.Try to decrease the volume while listening music

      Reduce your sound  volume  instead of keeping maximum Sound. Even when you are using Head phones try to reduce it also helps you in hearing also.
Reduce sound volume.listening music


#3.Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 

            Modern devices are searching automatically for  Wi-Fi signals and Bluetooth Devices. Turning off your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi also helps you in extending battery life if you are not using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Turn off Wi-Fi


#4.Don't use USBs and DVDs when there is no use

  You must and should make the ports empty when not in use. If you are not  using wireless mouse or keyboard then remove  adapters to the ports it also extends battery life.

#6.Don't use applications which take much RAM

     If you want to store simple information like phone number of some one or any information which will he useful for you  then use Notepad Rather than Microsoft Word because Microsoft Word takes much RAM.

#7.Keep away from extrem tempature places
