PDF, or Portable Document Format, is an open standard for document exchange. It is used for sending formatted documents and have the other party receive them exactly as intended by the sender. The author of a PDF document has the option to restrict the level of control a receiver has on the document. We have covered a lot of applications that allow you to bypass that control and edit PDF documents. Programs such as Free PDF Editor, a free portable app for Windows that lets you create and edit any PDF file instantly, and Quick PDF Tools, an all-in-one PDF utility that lets you perform numerous operations on PDF files, allow you to edit any PDF document. Today, we have two applications from PDFMate, called Free PDF Merger and Free PDF Converter, which allow you to easily merge two or more PDF documents into one, and convert a PDF document to multiple EPUB, Text, Image, HTML or SWF respectively. More on these applications after the break. Read More

RegMerge: Compare Registry Files With Windows Registry & Merge Changes

Leave a comment
Windows Registry is a database that is used to store the configuration settings of Windows native system utilities and user applications. It includes default settings for the operating system components and user applications, as well as information related to hardware connected to the computer. It  is used by device drivers, kernal, UI, SAM and other third party applications. As various processes and services are continuously running in the background, changes made by these components are also reflected in real-time in Windows Registry. Windows doesn't provide any way to monitor these changes in real-time, however, back in January, we covered an application for Windows called RegFromApp, which let users monitor the changes made to registry by any selected application. Although quite handy, it did not provide you any kind of option to check and compare the changes made to Windows Registry. We have another software for our readers that might cope with this problem. Labeled as RegMerge,  it is an application for Windows that allows you to compare one or more Windows registry (REG) files with current values in Windows Registry. This may come helpful in situations where you need to compare the changes between exported registry keys and current registry keys to decide whether the exported registry hives are to be restored or not. Additionally, it provides you with an option to merge all the selected changed registry keys into Windows registry. Read More

Moving, copying, duplicating and merging folders is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Although these are simple, everyday functions that are easily doable, they can have dire consequences if we move a folder some place we might never find it, overwrite a folder, make and delete numerous copies of a folder and end up losing the original. For those of you who have yet to experience any of these mishaps, it’s likely you just don’t have a really important folder; accidents like this happen mostly to important stuff, and not your collection of cloud shapes. MacMerger is a free Mac app that, on one hand, makes it easy to merge two different folders, and on the other, might just result in files being overwritten if not handled properly. In short, this is a powerful app, and with great power, comes great responsibility. Read More

Comparing multiple objects from two separate MS Access databases is not only difficult, but also quite a tedious task, as one needs to first check each data set in databases, and then make required changes to DB objects. If you’re working with multiple versions of Access database, you may be looking for a tool that can help you identify the differences between all major objects of database, including tables, forms, reports, queries and so on. Instead of tallying each dataset and DB objects, you could use AccdbMerge to instantly view the differences, and import & export selected objects from both database versions to easily merge the required sections. AccdbMerge supports both widely used Access database formats, including MDB and ACCDB, allowing you to read all the elements of database without having to install any additional tools. Read More
