Download Free PDF Creator for Windows PC:

Using a virtual printer to convert documents into PDFs format is an easy way to avoid printing papers. The main reasons for doing so are convenience, as you can send documents and information straight from any Windows program supporting print to the virtual printer to convert it and functionality as good solutions offer lots of customization options.

Free PDF Creator is a free virtual printer solution for Windows that comes without time limits or other restrictions such as the number of uses.

Note : Print Spooler service needs to have been started on the system before you install the PDF converter as the creation of the virtual printer will fail otherwise. You can skip registration during setup as well as it is not mandatory to use the software.

Post processing – If you want the pdf to be post-processed.

Download Game Maker 7 | Free:

Download Game Maker 7 | Free

Game Maker is a program for making games. It is created with user friendliness and ease of use in mind, thus makes it possible to create games without having to learn complex programming languages, but still teaching the user basic syntax and principles of object oriented programming. For advanced users there is the built-in scripting language, Game Maker Language (GML).

In addition to 2D, Game Maker also has limited support for 3D graphics and models through Direct3D. It also uses DirectX 8, which opens up possibilities of graphical functionality, such as alpha adjustments and blending settings.

Game Maker comes in Lite and Pro editions. Lite edition is the free one, but has limited functionality and displays a Game Maker logo in the games. The Lite version lacks for example 3D game making, playing music from CD/DVD drives and extended graphic options. Upgrading to Pro edition costs $25 and unlocks the full potential of the software.

Receive Facebook Notifications Outside Facebook Window

How many of you spend your leisure time browsing through Facebook, and waiting for notifications or messages from friends? I know many, if not most, of you people might. Facebook indeed is a great tool to stay in touch, and many people, like me, log on solely to communicate with their friends. But who has the time to wait on the Facebook site for their friends to appear, or to check their Facebook periodically? Using MyStatusBar, you can now get Facebook notifications outside the Facebook site, leaving you free to browse through the internet and do your work.

MyStatusBar

MyStatusBar is a browser extension available for Chrome and Firefox, since those are the two most popular web browsers. It's a useful little tool that will give you real-time information about your Facebook updates, so you will see new messages or notifications as soon as you receive them.

Install MyStatusBar

Go to the MyStatusBar Download page on Chrome Web Store, and then click on the Add To Chrome Button on the top-right. Your download will initiate in a few seconds, and the installation will be started automatically. Your browser might need to restart for the changes to take effect.

Once installed, you will be redirected, and will see a bar at the bottom of your browser. Click on the Login to Facebook button as shown.

Now, a window will open which will ask confirmation for logging into Facebook. Next, you will see a list of permissions that MyStatusBar seeks in order to function. Click on Allow, and you're all set!

Now, you'll see a bar at the bottom of your browser. This will show all your messages, friend requests, and notifications, just like you see them on your Facebook header. And no matter what website you're on, this bar will always be there at your convenience.

You can also see a a mini feed from your latest news feed, and you can scroll up and down to see what your friends are up to. There's also a search bar where you can search Facebook without even opening the website! Annoyingly though, there's an ad spot too, which takes up space where something useful could've been. There's a 'x' (close) button that will let you minimize the bar, which is handy if you want the full space of the website you're working on.

HELP FOR INSTALLATION

(Firefox version)

(Chrome version)

All-in-all though, it's quite a useful utility. It's one for the Facebook fanatics out there who don't want to keep their eyes off the notifications bar for long! For them, staying on Facebook just got easier. Enjoy and share :)

Don’t Use Firefox 16.0 !!

Firefox is always rolling out updates, fixes, and new versions, but today it appears that they might have jumped the gun a little bit. Firefox 16 is the latest version of the popular web browser and while it looked appealing at first, it turns out there was a serious security issue in the release.

The security issue at fault apparently made it possible for websites to access web history as well as a few other personal pieces of data. Mozilla has confirmed that this issue only affected Firefox 16 so anyone that has not upgraded is safe. They are, however, recommending that any and all users that upgraded to Firefox 16 uninstall and go back to Firefox 15 for the time being. A fix is being worked on, but has not been released at this time.

Download Firefox 15.0
