quickly be covering
five programs that are great for working
with PDF files and documents on your
computer
these programs are Sumatra PDF ocular
PDF Creator PDF Sam and 30 CR
and all these programs are completely
free to download and use for both
personal and commercial use
is first for open source software and
this last one
30 CR is a freeware program on
drive down a bit and try em out yourself

TJ free dot com arms this first program
Sumatra PDF
it's just a lightweight PDF reader very
quick response it's not ok
very large file download arm and it can
view
and X the XPS extension it can be used
some energy book formats as well as PDF
files and
but it's that we're talking about the
different document types arm
so this is what it looks like very
similar to Acrobat Reader spectrum
ocular
Owen P Sumatra PDF is a Windows on the
program this next one of your works on
Windows Macintosh and Linux
image similar to do this system after
PDF consumer
Acrobat Reader it's a PDF viewer and
document viewer
somebody gives you I'm a lot she's more
at Luxor features and options and
supports more document types
I'm with you we can select like a image
from this if we want to
and then we can save it copied to your
clipboard
we can do text selection I think getting
support extraction to read
arm and working graphite
to them now and things like that so she
said another
PDF viewer on PDF Creator is a program
that
once you install it it creates a virtual
printer on your computer
and then you can use it to trent for
example
if I wanna print from just know at I can
just go to print
and I can select PDF Creator it think
that's an actual printer hooked on my
computer
agreed to that and then opens up this
PDF Creator window
and lets me n save it to a car untitled
not that I guess
I can save it to my desktop saved
and now here it is as this
document open it up it's a PDF Image as
just that
one word test that I put on there so
that's what it does it Prince
filestube to a it prints and I'm yeah
file to a PDF format
okay this next one PDS Sam stands for
PDS split and merge
and it is a program that does just that
it can split and merge PDF
documents so right now I'm on I'm doing
the splits
so I have this doctor you in looking at
the 10-page document
same or just looked at your as the 10
pages
I say go ahead and split on for split
into single pages ICASA split
of it even page is separate from the odd
pages or every and page every third or
fourth page stood out from the PDS
and dogs do every page so I quick run
and here we go now there are completely
squid
each pages its own PDF document here
at how that works you like I said you
can also use it to merge multiple PDF
documents together
its last one 30 CR
on the OC R stands for optical character
recognition and it's a program that
you can use with your scanner or use
with images and it will convert
text on images and on PDF documents into
editable format
so this is an example that comes with it
this is on some text that was printed
out
in different fonts and indifferent and
sizes
and then scanned and at 200 E PI
was quick the OC R button and it will
turn into editable text over here we can
copy to clipboard
we can send it right Microsoft Word or
are
couple different options here I'm the
open a PDF file required
examples the PDF to has
embedded images and seven bed text and
some some
text on the image so we can also see our
it
and processing okay so it's done

of people
points I'm pretty well 20 channel all
