Save your Files as PDF in Office 2010!



PDF is one of the most popular method if you wanna share your files. Specially when sharing any report, form or document, PDF is the most reliable and acceptable file format. 

By the way, most of the people use dopdf or other 3rd party software to convert their files into PDF. A procedure of PDF conversion is also posted in this blog. But if you use Microsoft  Office 2010 probably you dont need any other third party software to convert your files into PDF. 

You can convert your files into PDF from the following programs: 

  • Access 2010
  • Excel 2010
  • OneNote 2010
  • PowerPoint 2010
  • Project 2010
  • Publisher 2010
  • Visio 2010
  • Word 2010
To save your files into PDF do the following: 
  1. Open any of the above listed programs (ie. Word, Excel or Access) from Microsoft Office 2010. 
  2. Then hit on the File tab located at the upper left corner of the screen.
  3. Now click on Save as to open Save as box.
  4. Enter the file name in the File Name box.
  5. Now select PDF (*.pdf) from the Save as Type option.







Note: In some cases this system may not produce the desired file quality. If this happens then try this system to convert your files.

PDF Expert 5 Well Designed PDF Management App with Text to Speech



PDF Expert 5 is a well designed PDF management app for the iPad. The app includes many useful features that allow you to read, edit, and annotate PDF documents easily. Unlike some other feature -rich apps, PDF Expert 5 does not feel cultured. The elegant design makes the app easy to use. PDF Expert is an assistive app because of its text-to-speech integration with the added benefit of extra features.

One caveat, while the app is good for non-disabled and dyslexic users, I would not recommend the app for VoiceOver users because of some VoiceOver problems I have found. Readdle, the maker of the app, should work on fixing these VoiceOver problems so blind and visually impaired can also benefit from the app. 

PDF files can be imported from numerous cloud storage services including Google Drive, Drop Box and SkyDrive or using the "open-in" feature of many other iOS apps. You can also view other file types, but the built in text-to-speech reader is only available for PDF documents. Files can be organized into folders or dragged and dropped into different sections.

PDF Experts text-to-speech function works with any PDF with digital text. It does not work with PDF documents that have text within images. To read a compatible PDF, turn on text-to-speech in the reading mode menu and then press play. You can start reading at the middle or end of a page by highlighting a word and pressing "read from here." Text is read with the default iOS voice that many may recognize as the voice of Siri. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase additional higher quality voices. The app also requires you to re-enable text-to-speech every time you switch PDF documents. This is inconvenient if you switch are between PDF documents quickly.

Click read more below to continue reading about PDF Expert.

Viewing a PDF document is also a breeze. PDF Expert includes a quick scrolling mode and thumb nail view to allow you to easily navigate large PDFs. You can also change the background to sepia or night for easier viewing.

Aside from the text-to-speech features PDF Expert includes a number of editing and annotation features. Annotation options include highlighting, underlining, shapes, strike-through, stamps, signatures, and text. These annotation options are intuitive to use and you can easily can the color of highlights and other annotations. If you would like to add text to a PDF document you do not need to worry about overlapping any original text because the app automatically wraps your text so it will not overlap. Unfortunately, the app will not read your text annotations back to you using the built in reader, but you can always use the built in Speak Selection feature.  

PDF Expert also includes a review mode which allows you to edit and markup existing PDF documents. To learn more about this feature see the below video.

With PDF Experts easy to use annotation and editing features and its built in text-to-speech reader PDF Reader is an ideal app for any iPad user who wants increase productivity. PDF Expert 5 is compatible with iPads running iOS 6 or higher and is available for $9.99 in the App Store.

How to fix format error not a PDF or corrupted


Two days back, I have received an email with PDF file attachment. When I tried to open PDF file, it shows an error message which says:  "format error: not a PDF or corrupted"
I was surprised to see such error message and thought hope it was not a virus file as attached PDF. Immediately I have called to my friend who is expert in handling PDF file error matters. My friend suggested me it may not be virus file. It could be possible that PDF file got corrupted so he suggested me to open PDF file in foxit PDF reader which is an alternative of adobe reader then I install the foxit pdf reader, & try to open "corrupt" pdf files. 

When I tried to open it in foxit reader, again it shows same error message. 






There is a chance that the problem was caused by the latest update of Foxit Reader then I  uninstalled Foxit Reader and then reinstalled but the error still remain same.
As the error message indicates that the PDF file get corrupted that is why I decided to download again another copy of PDF file, but when I opened it, same problem occurred. 
After doing lots of research I found that the error message can be occur due to three reasons:

1. either by the network
2. Browser Issue
3. by the corrupted file itself. 

To resolve this issue, Try to download the file with a better network.

I recommend you to first clear your browsers cache and temporary internet files to make sure that they are not causing your issue. If this is not resolve the issue, please use different browser.

Corrupted PDF file could be a result that you did not complete download the whole PDF file or you have downloaded a corrupted PDF file. The best solution is to downloaded another PDF file or try repairing the installed PDF by going to start – control panel – add/ remove programs – on the PDF file right click and select change this will repair the PDF file.

In case if nothing works then you should use advance PDF Repair Software. These software repairs corrupt PDF files after all corruption errors. 

Hope these solution will help you to resolve this error!!!

How to create PDF file

Often we need to convert a word, excel or any other file into PDF format. This is done through a virtual printer. When a virtual printer (that creates PDF file) is installed in your system then you can see it in your print option.

In this post I will tell about do PDF. It is a powerful tool to convert several files (DOC, DOCX, DJVU, XLS, XLSX, XPS, PPT, PPTX, DOT, EML, VSD, PUB, PUBX, MPP, WPD, OpenOffice, DWG, HTML, TXT, PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and many others) into PDF format.

Steps for creating PDF file:
1. Download and install doPDF from here.
2. Open a program (ie. MS Word) from which you wanna create PDF.
3. Open your desired file for conversion purpose.
4. Go to the print option by pressing Ctrl + P.
5. Select the doPDF printer from the Print dialogue box.
6. Now you will see the doPDF dialogue box on you screen.
7. Now select the location on which you want your PDF file to keep and hit OK button.

Now you have all done. Your brand new PDF file may open directly. If not then go to the file location you selected and open it through PDF viewer.
