Oh, i forgotten the pdf creators!!!

The creators takes word to pdf over printer.

Here the download of pdf995 (english):
http://www.pdf995.com/download.html

The bug of this freeware is:
If u save the pdf in a file you will automatcally linked to the homepage of pdf995. But thats isnt a problem for me. This software mades pdf´s with high quality only (not justable). A license costs 9,95$ (not really much)
Enterprise of pdf995:Ford Motor Co (180,000 users),
Fidelity National Financial (100,000 users), and more
No picture attached.

Here the download of maxxpdfmailer (german, cant find a english version):

U can configure the printer at startmenue/programms.
The bug here is, u got a headline on all pdf´s.

Wolf: you are correct Chesire. Posts deleted.

Exactly

Freeware is all good though .. or shareware will do fine as well

k didn't know =)

For PDF I use a simple freeware called "FreePDF", it is based on "Ghostscript". Quality is good with minimal bugs from what I have seen and it works like the "real" Adobe as a virtual printer driver.

(I use an older version without "XP" in the name but same deal...)

*="yet another pdf tool"

(You can also choose English)

Nice little tool: it installs an additional printer device.

You can easily convert .doc documents into .pdf by printing the document with the pdf24 printer device.

Isn't it that sheep from "computerbild"?

@ Carinth ... I installed a similar PDF printer thing recently ... its useful to print multipage prints to. Another little program then converts the PDF to jpg and when they are stitched together I get to print a multipage print to A4 (the original family tree program doesnt have the option to scale to A4).

@Snowbird: don't know... any paper which has the "bild" part in it's name is not the kind of reading I prefer...

@Ramses: any link? Sounds interesting, too.

@ Carhith ... Well I was just trying to figure how to convert a prn file to a jpg when print to file isn't an option and this is the solution I came up with. I have no prior knowledge of any of these products (I googled them), but they seem to be above board and hassle free (my antivirus and antispyware haven't had a heart attack yet, although an update of my spyware found a backdoor in an old restore point , I don't think it came from these though).

My procedure ....
1) From the Program you are using (a Family tree maker in my case), print to the PDF printer and it produces a PDF file instead of printing it out(I use Bullzip, but I think PDfill also installs a PDF printer and that program that you have probably does the same thing) .

2) Convert the PDF pages to JPG's using PDfill Tools.

3) Edit the individual JPG "pages" to get rid of any unwanted page margins.

4) Stitch the pages together with a graphics program (I use a very old 1997 program called Photoimpact that I got ages ago on the cover of a magazine)

5) Print the stitched JPG to A4 using any graphics program


The converter is called PdFill Pdf tools (it needs Ghostscript installed before it works, there is a link on the site) ....

http://www.pdfill.com/pdf_tools_free.html

And the printer PDF printer I used was called Bullzip http://www.bullzip.com/

I think the PDfill also installs a PDF printer, but I didn't know that before I got it. Also I guess the program you have does the same thing, so you probably dont need Bullzip.

Thanks for the description and the links!

Hamachi virtual LAN server
www.hamachi.cc

hamachi makes simpely a virtual LAN
for example you can play diablo 2 whit friends online whitout being loged in @ battle-net or use a official server

you can make up to 64 channels (LAN's) for max 16 people eatch
when you use the premium and pay for it this will become 256 channels whit eatch 256 users

you can also use it to share files even faster then uploading and downloading
just by putting they files in your shared files map en let the other person easy copy-past them to his comp

hope you guys find some usefull ways to use this programe
i surely found some

I actually heard of that, has good encryption and works for both Linux and Windoze so probably worth giving it a look.

Just for gaming you can usually make a LAN server and port forewarding on a different local port, to which other players can connect from the internet and your server thinks it is LAN. Back in the Quake III days it was pretty easy to circumvent the CD Key protection this way because CD Keys were only checked when internet IPs connected. So just for gaming I do not think you need it.
