Thank you for posting this. Good PDF editors are indeed hard to come by for free.
By the way, what program do all your checkmarks pertain to?
Can anyone recommend good software to edit .wmv files?
I really messed up. I had created some .doc files of legal documents. I printed them, had them notarized, and scanned them, saving them as .pdf files. I now want to make some modifications. I have searched and searched, but can't find the .doc files. I'm using Adobe Reader to view the pdf files, but am not able to edit them.
Can someone direct me to some freeware that will allow me to edit pdf files? Or is there conversion software that will convert the .pdf to an editable .doc file?
Q: Solved: software to convert or edit 32kbps 4 bit 8kHz ADCPM sound files?
The sound file comes form my digital camera as it has a sound only record mode. I want to edit the file and clean up the sound with something like Audacity. Problem is that Audacity doesn't handle files with such a codec.
Windows Media Player will play the files but can't save them as another format.
If I could convert them to another format I know Audacity and others can clean and edit them.
Does anyone know of software (free preferably) that can do this for 32kbps 4 bit 8kHz files?
A:Solved: software to convert or edit 32kbps 4 bit 8kHz ADCPM sound files?
Just play it in WMP and have Audacity record it, what could be easier? You could then save it as a WAV or mp3.
A:Shredding / Wiping software cannot wipe 10,000 Free Disc Space Files!
the software needs to be free because i only need to use it a few times.
I have looked on google and there seems to be a lot of sites offering programs but after looking at some i don't know if they can be trusted.
There are a number of free pdf readers, but only a few that allow free editing (some are trials, but worth checking out if you just want a few uses).
However, if the original creator made the pdf so that it could not be altered, there is a fair chance that none of these can alter the pdf anyway.
Be careful where your get your free software or free software updates from. Some programs on certain download sites can get malware,viruses, or have pups even if the program provided was originally clean. One site I recommend is MajorGeeks they do a really good job.
Q: Is there a free MP3 joiner which can mass-edit ID3s too?
ID3 Tags. I'm looking for a free MP3 joiner or splitter which can mass edit the the data determining what title shows up in Winamp (ID3).
This is probably a common request, but I'm having trouble looking on my own.
Or just the ID3 mass-editor. I'd be happy with only that. I really want both though.
A:Is there a free MP3 joiner which can mass-edit ID3s too?
I doubt there's a splitter/joiner that also does mass editing of the ID tags, the two functions don't really go together. However, there are tons of ID tag editors.
What exactly are you trying to do? Since MP3 is compressed, you'll have to uncompress it to edit it. Most people just uncompress to a WAV file and edit that. Audacity is a nice audio editor that's free and should do the job.
A:Free open software, that encrypts files using open pgp?
I recently purchased an IOMEGA HD Pro. I got some home videos converted and copied onto this HD. Has anyony any ideas about which is the best and most user friendly software package to edit these? Is there an Adobe one? an Adobe package came with my computer and the version is 2005, things have moved on since then.

Q: Any movie edit software ?
I want to know that if there is any software (free version) for editing a movie which I can stick a cartoon head in the actor's head while the movie is still on the play.
I know it sounds eaily, but I can imagine how difficult it is.
Please let me know if you know how to do it.

Q: Best software to edit & compile an audio CD?
What is the best software for compiling and editing an audio CD. I'm making a CD of Christmas music to give to friends. Major tasks I need to do are  equalize the volume of all the songs. Right now some are very soft, then the next one blastes you away.  I need to delete segments of songs, to take out applause or long silent sections.
A:Best software to edit & compile an audio CD?
There isn't one application to do all of this. You're going to need Audacity for trimming and normalization, and CDBurnerXP Pro for writing them to a disc. Both these programs are free, FYI.
EDIT: a mod should move this, this is in the wrong category.
I am having some difficulty with TWO of my THREE machines. I have one laptop and two pc's networked via hardwire and router. All are running xp. My issue is that on the laptop and one pc I cannot edit any post on any forum that runs vB. I have a forum that I am a super admin on and can only edit posts when I am on with one pc only. I cannot for the life of me figure this problem out. I am not very computer literate so if anyone has any ideas I am more than willing to listen.
Nobody has ever had an issue like this???

Q: Is there a way to edit the context menu without additional software?
Windws 7 Pro SP1 with IE v8.
I recently had to install Windows Live and 3 new entries were added to the context menu in Internet Explorer.
And cannot find any traces. In fact, I searched through the entire registry for the values "Blog with" or "Email with" and nothing turned up.
Just where in the heck is this buried in the registry? If I disable Windows Live addon in Internet Expolorer, I think that my games (Gears of War and Batman Arkham Asylum) will no longer work. I could be wrong about that certainly. Does anyone know how to get rid of these?
A:Is there a way to edit the context menu without additional software?
Q: Solved: Need software that can edit ID3 tag title to = file name.
I am looking for a piece of software that can be set to automatically edit the title value in an mp3 files ID3 tag, to = the name of the file in the windows file system. I have been pro-actively editing the tags on all of my files, a very tedious process. Everything is pretty smooth, but I would rather not have to edit the title of each and every individual file, esp when the title in most cases, is neatly contained in the filename.. Let me know if I have any options.. thanks..
A:Solved: Need software that can edit ID3 tag title to = file name.
Get Mp3tag, a good freeware tag editor.
Select the files then go to Convert > Filename - Tag.
What's your file naming convention and is it consistent?
Q: Edit Audio Track In External Software?
I don't have a great deal of experience with Camtasia but have recorded a number of tutorials in the past. However, I now have a new microphone which is a little "bassy" and would like to give my recording a little more top end. Is it possible to take the sound track from a Camtasia Recording and use a graphic equaliser in an external sound editor and then return it to Camtasia?
Q: Registry edit required to get some software to work.
I know very little about Windows Registry other than not to touch it. These changes seem quite extreme. Can someone tell me what they are basically doing?
The software company is being a little coy. I just want to understand what I am doing.
A:Registry edit required to get some software to work.
IMO the SOFTWARE providers should do all this in their install setup. The only time you should have to make registry changes should be for an emergency fix and even then they should be able to send you a .reg file which will do it automatically.
I'd be very loathe to purchase software from someone who relies on the END USER to make registry edits -- if you make a mistake you can easily hose up a system.
My Problem: I aquired a Panasonic PV-GS32 MiniDV video camera - my gs35 was stolen and I still have tapes. I thought I could use the MotionDV Studio software I had with my gs35 but Panasonic says they are not compatable - I haven't tried YET.
My question: Any suggestions for software or workaround to get my MiniDV movies from my camera to my pc for editing - I have too many to farm it out, the gs32 was inexpensive and works fine.
If you play them back on the camera, and plug the camera into your PC, any commercial video-editing software should work (excluding the camera model-specific software from Panasonic of course).
I am a very beginner would like to learn video editing.
mainly I need to cut, trim, join, split, adding subtitle and title stays on during all playing time.
Greetings,I have a number of video recordings of family events that I would like to transfer to DVD-rs. Can you please recommend a software program that I can add menus, edit chapters and record music in the background. thank you for your time. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 560 PC. Thank you very much!!
Looks like that computer comes with windows 7.
Check start/all programs/windows DVD maker.
but it's worth checking it out.
Did you say that you did have your XP disk?
Sorry this is a bit of a long shot and off topic.
I have an game file which is exe and was originally developed to use touch screen controls. Is it possible to amend the cursors in the exe to show mouse pointers?
Again apologies if this is not technically related to Windows 7. I have no programming knowledge and just wondered if anyone had any ideas of if it was possible?
i imagine it could be done, but extremely difficult, especially as you aren't a progammer.
your best bet would be trying to contact the original programmer, and ask nicely.
I have 3 photo edit/print programs on board, all of which worked perfectly under windows 7. However, since upgrading (?) to 10 I now find that none of them work properly, various problems, particularly printed image size. For instance, I wanted to print a 6" x 4" photo at actual size, but could only get it to print to full A4. After much fiddling & cussing I thought I had managed to get it to behave, only to find that it would then only print out at 3" x 2"!!! I have literally spent hours trying to solve this problem, can anyone help? Is the problem with the software or is it the printer/laptop setup? I use an Epson XP-700 printer if that helps.
What photo edit programs are you trying to use? Each program may have its own printer setup menu with settings that you can adjust. Then there is the print software that comes with the Epson Printer which you may have installed as well.
Pay attention to page size, image size and what resolution the image is set to (pixels per inch). Depending on the software there may be check boxes for print full size (fill page) or actual size.
and after having installed the AudioShell135 software it doesnt appear to be working, nothing changed under the properties etc, i have used the software before but now have re-installed Vista etc, so its not working after the installation, can anyone kindly suggest some solution for this ?
This is totally 'old school', but it's worked for me for years and years.
Download a file management program called Total Commander.
Set the created shortcut's properties to "Run As Administrator".
Configure it like in the screen shots 2&3 and F4 should open most any file to edit.
any editor[hex or otherwise] to open the file of your choosing for editing.
The occasional prompt for permissions may pop up.
When that happens, I just choose 'Allow' and I'm in like Flint.
Still unable to even SEE, let alone OPEN any of those $files.
$MFT $Journal etc.....but that's probably for the best!
I have burnt my word documents onto a CD-RW CD and I would like to be able to edit these documents straight off the CD. I am able to edit but can not save my changes as the files are read-only. I have tried to change the attributes of the files but I was unable to.
Does anyone know if it is in any way possible to edit and save changes to files on a CD.
I don't believe you can edit them directly from the CD. You would have to move them off of the CD onto the HD and then rewrite them back to the RW-CD. But then again I haven't tried this with some of the newer versions of burner software.
I wanted to upload some video to youtube but I found that since I use VLC media player (I've found it supports a wider variety of formats) all of the video is in .vob format. This is unsupported by Adobe Premier.
My question how can I either change the file's format, make adobe premier support the file or find a cheap alternative to adobe for media editing?
VOB is the container format for DVD-video. Usually when you rip a DVD you take it out of the VOB format at the same time. Just try changing the extension from .vob to .mpg .

Actually You can open and change the generated *.mht file with MS Word.
Right click it and you should see the edit option if you have MS Office installed.

I managed to put several files in a Zipped folder I guess you call it. Anyway I have to use a password to open each one.
Now---I tried to edit one of the files(delete and add information) and it does it but when I close it it goes back to the original information. Tried several time.
Are you extracting the zipped folder, password-editing-saving and then zipping all the files again? Many programs can read a zip folder and extract a copy of one of the files inside for use but it kind of goes against the rules to save an edited version of the file still zipped because it probably won't compress back exactly as before and would corrupt the whole zip folder.
The solution is don't zip files that need to be edited a lot, just password protect or encrypt only, otherwise unzip-edit-new zip on all files involved.

Q: Edit the Bookmarks in .pdf files?
I am looking for an inexpensive program to edit the bookmarks in .pdf files.
Often I receive .pdf files with bookmarks like "page 1". "Page 2", etc. I would like to have more descriptive titles on at least the major divisions-- but have no idea how to do it.

Q: How to Allow Computers on Network to edit/add files to each other?
If this has been asked before, I apologize. I've been looking a lot and have been unable to locate an answer.
I have 3 Windows 7 Computers in my home. Each one has a specific drive that I want to be able to be publicly edited by the other computers. I can get them to connect to each other and open files, but I cannot get them to be able to edit them or add files to the respective network drives. I would really like to be able to allow my PCs to edit other PCs files in my specified drives.
A:How to Allow Computers on Network to edit/add files to each other?
Open up the properties dialog on the drive you are sharing, Go to the sharing tab, click to open Advanced Sharing, Tick share this folder, Click to open Permissions, Tick Full Control, Click apply, Click Ok, Click Ok, Click Close.
Trying to share two external drives through my laptop with Win 7 to my wireless network at home. I'm pretty new at this and dont really fully grasp what I am doing but still managed to share two internal drives and one external without any big issues.
But I am having trouble with one drive. I can share it and I can see it and I can play the movies in the folders BUT from another computer I cannot delete, add or edit files, only view and play. I stayed up all night but still couldnt fix it. I tried to compare settings, checked the security tab for differences and permissions but it seems to be more or less the same settings, I say more or less because the settings have been acting weird.
Please show me the permissions of the share. And post permissions of root folder of share as well.

I tried to start my editor with administrative privileges, but this didn't help. I had the same problem before, with a file that was located in the programs folder. I was able to change it, but the program didn't recognize the changes.
Hope someone here can help me, thank you in advance for any advice.
Have you tried making those changes in the program itself?
Could be that file you are editing is a backup of the real original file.
Make the change in the program and then look at that file to see if it reflects the changes.
Also do a search for *.XML and see if there is another file with a similar name in some other folder, like a folder for the Firefox program.

Win7 has this neat feature where I can navigate into a compressed (zip) file from Windows Explorer. The icon appears like a folder with a zipper through it & I can just navitage where I please.
However, I can't edit a file in the zip folder directly. I have to first copy it out of the zip, edit it, then copy back into the zip. What am I missing here? If I can overwrite a file why not just allow me to edit it?
Zip is one of the several existing formats for "archive" files. These files are typically compressed to save space and simplify data transmission. Although Windows treats them as folders (a feature that I personally prefer to disable), they are not really folders. One can extract files from an archive or add files, but I've never heard of a possibility to edit files still in an archive. Maybe there is a third-party software that opens an archive, un-compress it (i.e. unzip) to some temporary folder, then allows you to edit files in this temporary folder and at the end puts the archive back together (i.e. zip the files from the temporary folder into a new archive of the same name). But I don't know any. Maybe someone else can suggest something.
Recently my music files [it might be with other types of files too, I haven't checked] have somehow changed the security setting so that I can't do anything with them, I can't edit the info in iTunes and I can't delete the files. About the only thing I can do is move the file. I have figured out how to fix this problem one by one with each file (going into properties, security tab, and changing the permissions), however, I've only been able to do this one by one and with each new file the same problem persists. Is there any way I can change some sort of setting or something that allows me to have full control over all files? I am the sole user of the computer, therefore I am the administrator.

Since I have installed the fresh copy of XP Pro, all my program settings and files have been in a disarray. I had to set up the Email account from scratch and hence lost all my previous e-mails.

Hi there. So I just got my fancy new laptop with Vista with SP1 on it. Here's the problem though: it will not play or edit .avi files. Yup, will not play them in Media Player, and then will not let you do anything at all with them in movie maker. It says that there is a codec missing... which is fine and good and all, but the problem is I can't seem to find where to get the codec anywhere. I've just found a lot of dead ends. So if anyone out there knows how to fix this problem... like where to get the codec so I can actually do something with the 40+GB of .avi files I have, it would be greatly appreciated.
