Today I will show you a quick overview of the features and functionality of this incredibly fast and lightweight PDF Reading utility. As many of you may know, using Adobe Reader as your primary PDF reader can take not only an incredible amount of hard drive space, but the software is large and clunky. Adobe is also notorious for constantly nagging you about updating their software. FoxIt doesn’t have this issue, at least not nearly as bad as Adobe does. So Enjoy!

[HD]: PDF: Create Multi-page PDF Documents Free with Open Source PDFCreator http://pcmichiana.com/free-software-hd-pdf-create-multi-page-pdf-documents-free-with-open-source-pdfcreator/ http://pcmichiana.com/free-software-hd-pdf-create-multi-page-pdf-documents-free-with-open-source-pdfcreator/#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:39:52 +0000 Craig http://pcmichiana.com/?p=1170 Most people and companies in the commercial world pay for Adobe’s PDF suite to print multi page PDF documents. That is no longer necessary since the PDFCreator has been released. Many of you may be surprised to find out this software has actually been out in the open source world for quite some time now. Unfortunately, open source software doesn’t get as much of a marketing push as does commercial software – and companies like Adobe would prefer you don’t know about them. Well today you will learn not only about PDFCreator, but how to tap into it’s full capabilities.

This video shows you one of the most useful plugins or “extensions” offered by Google Chrome so far. It allows you to run Internet Explorer within Google Chrome when it is necessary to do so. For those of you who may be wondering, “So What?” – the biggest reason for people not switching to google Chrome is because they are afraid they will lose their compatibility with many sites on the internet. The primary reason many websites don’t “work” in some browsers is because those websites were designed for a particular kind of browser. This literally eliminates that issue in Chrome and is one of the most powerful plug-ins out there!
