Hi I am looking for a program to play PDF's or E-book to program. Either to just convert them to either just a sound file (i.e. mp3) or just to due it in real time . Ideally I like it to be a converter then just play but either is fine. Thanks in advance -
Hi there LTT Forum! I'm looking for some help on the easiest way to tackle a work-related task. I work for an event venue and we're trying to build a searchable database of events over 60 years. We have scanned in (most of) the lists that were kept as records from 1959 - 1990, and then from 1990 onward, we have some form of digital / PDF, etc. for the more recent events. They are generally laid out like "XYZ Event - December 1, 2000 - Venue Space", mercifully. What would be the best way to tackle getting all of this into a database entry format? I saw the UPDF ad in WAN last night and started wondering if there was an AI / smarter way to handle this than just going through the lists and typing it out by hand. Looking for recommendations on: 1) How to tackle this issue (what software, etc.) 2) How to store this data (best database solution to share with 20+ employees). Happy to answer any questions, just let me know what you want to know! Thanks, WX

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum :) My question is: what would be the beast way to compress about 6 TB of pdfs (about 500,000 pdf files)? The main goal is to make an archive of my pdf collection I've been working on for about 10 years. I would like it to take up the least amount of space. That way I can make backups on Mdisks, without using too many disks. Also to use fewer micro SD cards to carry with me. This is the last step of my project. I have used: Filestar to convert nonpdf files to pdf format, and Adobe to compress multiple pdfs at a time. This process is still kind of slow and would probably take about 1-2 years time to do between family and work life. My goal would be to find an automated process or program that could run continuously and conpress pdf files withing files, idealy without having to select each and Would there be anyone who offers a service to do this? Anyone have any ideas what software or methods to use? -
Title and thanks in advance. I dunno why this isnt a feature on EVERY PDF reader by now but yeah.

Afternoon all, I've got a 1114 page PDF that is a mixture of parts diagrams and text. I'm trying to extract the information but when I try and import the data through excel it kills my ram 32GB DDR4 3200mhz. Is there a way to discard the pages with pictures on without going through them one by one? Or is there a program I can use that is better than importing from excel? TIA

It acts just like a normal ghost file only no method of deleting a normal ghost file works. Adobe acrobat says "There was an error while opening this document. The path does not exist", just like you would imagine a it would say for a normal ghost file. My guess for the origin of the error is a file name too long for windows, my dad downloaded the file off of a insurance website and the file name is 251 characters long, even though a quick google says the max character length is 260, so i might be wrong about my theory. Anyways, I can't rename, delete or move the file, if i try to edit and shorten it to a .txt file it says "The file name you specified is invalid or too long. Specify a different file name.". After like two hours of researching and trying different solutions, I did not manage to fix it. I hope you can help.

Hi, I have a word file in my Google Drive that I make changes to it everyday. I have a website (Google Sites) that I embed it in because Google Docs renders things differently to Word some of the text is not in the right position so i save it in a word as a PDF. It's really annoying, as I said earlier I am making changed everyday so it becomes a hassle. Does anyone have solutions (I use Google Drive Stream so I can access it from my File Explorer?)

My wife and I have mostly chatted long-distance on Messenger for most of our relationship (6 years and counting), and it'd be a hard blow if we lost any of the contents by some freak of nature (i.e. Facebook going out of business, however unlikely that is). Is there a piece of software or a method I could use to back everything up in say, a PDF format? I've looked at the Decipher Download tool, but I just want to make sure there's no other method floating out there before I drop $20 on mystery software. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot! -
I would like some advice/suggestions on how i can edit PDFs on my phone. I'm on android and so far the apps I've come across either don't work or require some sort of subscription plan. The workaround I've found for the time being is using my laptop> use Libreoffice> edit and save as ODF> Convert back to PDF> send it back to my phone. Its a hassle especially since i don't carry my laptop around with me. Does anyone have any suggestions for an app-based method to edit and save PDFs?

I need a program for editing PDF documents. Free, open-source and native Linux support would be ideal but paid ( not subscription ) on Windows with Wine compatibility would also be Ok. Thanks if there’s still a question please ask

I am currently archiving and sorting old files. I often have files twice, one in PDF format, one in Word format (.docx). It is the result of writing a document in word, but sharing it later on via E-Mail and creating a PDF version for that. I won´t be editing nearly any of the documents, so is there any benefit in keeping the Word Version? -
- I want to make my spread sheet on Google sheets ANDROID app into a big png file (the spread sheet is about 176 cells vertical, 197 cells horizontal, average cell's size of 30 contain text and image ) - there are some app that can turn pdf to png but non of that work for really high resolution. - my current solution is go to sheet app > print > land scape with A1 paper size > print to pdf, the pdf file look clean i want to keep that quality to png, i open that with an app called Photo editor (hand down the best app ever touch image edit) to capture a png image of that pdf file - the file size end up is about ~9000 by 6300, but it have compression, it ain't look so good and I need more resolution. - any solution you guys know? note that if I have a pc this wouldn't be a problem in first place.

I'm looking for a mobile app that would have support for both PDF thumbnails and SMB shares, and I've been desperately looking for this for the past day or so. I've also posted the same question in other forums with no answers. Basically, I want the thumbnail function that Windows provides, but for Android. Most file explorers can do it with pictures like JPGs and PNGs, or even videos, but I absolutely cannot find anything that does it for PDFs. The absolute closest I could find are Xodo and ReadEra, which are readers, and they both have file preview, but neither of them seem to be compatible with SMB shares. The easiest SMB share connector I've found is Total Commander, but it doesn't have file preview. Alternately, if I could have some way of mounting an SMB drive as a "folder" that an app can then see and use, it could also work. The tablet used is a cheap RCA Android tablet but this doesn't matter as it should be something applicable to any Android device. As of right now, these are all the apps that I've tried: Foxit (no SMB) Google PDF (no thumbs, no SMB) Files by Google (no thumbs, no SMB) ES File (not the real one apparently) (no thumbs, no SMB) Astro (no thumbs) Adobe Reader (no thumbs, no SMB) Xodo (no SMB) EA Essential File Manager (no thumbs) Simple File Manager (no thumbs, no SMB) Easy inc. PDF Viewer (no thumbs, no SMB) ReadEra (no SMB) Perfect Viewer (no thumbs) Librera (all of them) (no SMB) Office (no thumbs, no SMB) X-Plore File (no thumbs) FX File (no thumbs, paid SMB) eBoox (no SMB) Pocketbook (no SMB) Lit Photo EBook (no SMB) Lithium (no SMB)

Hey guys, it cant be that difficult, i am simply an idiot. Somehow google doesnt provide the answers i want, so i gotta ask the hivemind. what i am looking for is a simple pdf reader that stands out in two regards. 1) its not annoying. This disqualifies adobe pdf reader, as the massive option bar is always open when i open the program. 2) automatically overwrites the old pdf version once i hit ctrl + s. This also disqualifies adobe, as that always opens the "save as" path. f that. i used the old edge browser because of those two reasons for the longest time. It obviously sucked as a browser, but it worked wonders in just not pissing me off. Sadly, with the update to the chromium based edge everything sucks there as well. cant just hit ctrl + s anymore and also....the fucking table of content is gone...i checked the edge associated forums and...welp...they just forgot to implement it. Not just does the browser no longer have a distinct window on the left to show you the chapters, it also excludes the chapters from the actual text. so there is simply no access to the table of content. needless to say that i require another program that is capable of not pissing me off (a hard task, i am aware) Would love if you could recommend sth for me. The 2) is more important to me than most things as my daily job is going through papers and highlighting them. Greetings An angry dude with a reasonable hate towards pdf readers

Hi Everyone, I haven't done any programming for a while (like upwards of a year to a year and a half or so), and decided to try and make a program to convert a collection of images to a PDF. The program should work - and I believe it will work, however - I seem to be having an issue when it comes to saving the file. With my code, I can get the program to run and execute fine, but when I go to save the document with a SaveFileDialog, the document doesn't save. I could be missing something extremely simple, but cannot seem to be able to figure it out. As such, I was hoping people on the forum might be able to help me out. My program's concept was based around this video, but modified by me so I can see the images loaded in a ListBox and preview the image when clicked in a PictureBox (That bit works fine), using code from the link below the video. It's just the document saving/output I seem to be having. Unlike the example, I do not want to hard code a save path or file name, but use a SaveFileDialog. Just as a note, to do the PDF Conversion, I am using the PdfSharp library (like the one used in the video in the spoiler). Here is my code: Thanks for your time and input. This issue is probably me being stupid...

Hey guys, so I work as a civil engineer and try to optimize/digitize my workflows. A lot of stuff work pretty good with my iPad but the architect plans are printed to DIN A1 or even A0 (PDF) . My iPad pro 10,5" can't handle that papersize and just close everything when I try to open it. So I Iike to scale the plans down to A3. We talking about a few hundreds plans. Have anybody an Idea how I can automate the progress? Just thought about having a "hot folder" with all my Plans that will automatic convert to A3 ? Would it work with a Print Server ?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a piece of software, with which I can easily write down notes and draw sketches. It doesn't need to have a ton of functionality, but should be free or at least come at a low price. WordPad, for example, works just fine when it comes to writing, but there is no functionality for drawing sketches of course. It would be a big plus if I can also read, edit and save files in PDF. -
Hello, I´m looking for a PDF reader that would allow me to copy text from enclosed kinds of PFD forms. Normal copy/paste results in in gibberish. Other reasonable solutions would do aswell but the text cannot have like missing letters numbers or even our special letters like ěščřžýáíé (Czech is weird) Transforming it to some text format results in gibberish, missing words or other stuff. Solution would save me like 2 hours daily since its a huge part of my job. Thanks in advance :-) doc.pdf -

I usually use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to print 11 x 17 documents. Its engineering documents so it needs to be printed real size, with automatic portrait or landscape orientation. The thing I totally hate with this program is that you can't change the default paper size. Letter is set as default and I very rarely use it. I'd like to have the paper size set to ledger (11 x 17) permanently, closing or shutting down the PC. Couldn't find how yet. I have Foxit Reader, but I find it confusing. There is so many options and its not very clear weither I'm printing true size or not, and I didn't find how to set my preferences there either. It just seem to reset every time I close it down. TLDR: I'd like a very simple PDF reader that saves my default printing preferences permanently even if I close and shutdown my PC. Tried Foxit reader, didn't helped.
