OK so we need free alternative software which have these capability: read pdf, add comments, annotations, or stamps; split or merge pdf, add security, and print everything into pdf.
PDF-XChange Viewer + doPDF + PDFTK = Adobe Acrobat Professional
These are the software we need. It’s lightweight, freeware, and available in portable version.
1. PDF-XChange Viewer (Info | Portable)
This is a PDF reader and editor. You can add comments, annotations, stamps, and dozen of professional features. Only 4MB (15MB after extract) download!
doPDF is a free PDF converter for both personal and commercial use. Using doPDF you can create PDF files by selecting the “Print” command from virtually any application.
It is a GUI frontend to the command-line based PDFTK. It supports the following operations on PDF files: merge, split, background, decrypt and password protection.
We not talked about InkScape or OpenOffice or QCAD. These software is amazing for me because the tools and the way they used are almost the same with the commercial one. The softwares are:
Got this inspiration because I feel the temperature under my laptop is quite hot. Since the original laptop stands is low, so the air circulation is not good for heat release. And I got this idea after seeing bunch of plastics waste – most of them is bottle and separated from organic waste – in my house. Well, why not use the bottle caps for laptop stands ^^
I also use broken file binder for laptop base if I use my laptop in bedroom.
nVidia GeForce G 103M ussually used in notebook for the VGA adapter. Recently I had problem when install it in Windows 7 for my laptop, HP Compaq Presario CQ40-419TX. nVidia has provide the driver in their website [download here], but the driver couldn’t be installed in Windows 7. Windows only want to use default Windows VGA driver instead from nVidia. After doing some experiment, I got the solution.
Download the driver, run the file, 186.03_notebook_win7_32bit_international_whql.exe. If you click it, it will extract firstly to the drive, usually in C:\NVIDIA. Don’t continue the installation, it won’t work since it will only install the HD Audio driver, not the VGA driver. We only need the extracted files.
How To:
1. Open Device Manager -> Display Adapters -> right click on Standard VGA Adapter -> Update Driver Software…
2. Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
3. Click on Have Disk… button.
4. Browse in C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.03\International\Displ ay\nvaa.inf
5. Select G 103M. OK.
Now you can experience the aero / 3D flip effect ^^
And for the audio driver, I only use from Windows default, since the driver from HP (for Vista) didn’t work. Read more…
