Assalamu'alaikum and hi to all,
I have been using de facto application for pdf files for a very long time. Since I am now studying and depend heavily on reader that allows me to open pdf files, adobe acrobat reader had been an invaluable tool.
But recently, I needed to open quite a few pdf files at once to read and make comparison between texts and certain numbers on screen. Adobe Acrobat Reader opened the files from fast to a disappointingly slow. From my reading on internet, it seems that each time Adobe's own pdf reader starts, it loads quite a number of items onto the computer memory in which many of them, I will definitely not use.
So, as usual, I turn to Mr Google to search for me the next best thing. A good or even a better alternative to Adobe own proprietary software to read pdf files. From the readings (other users' point of views and discussions), it seems Foxit, a technology company that has been providing services related to pdf creations and securing it, comes up quite a few times. Foxit has its own pdf reader and the best of all, it is free.
Thus, I downloaded the software and installed it into my laptop. And truth to be told, the Foxit Reader is quite snappy and efficient. And as an extra free feature, the software also installed a pdf printer that will allow to print/make pdf files from any print job in my laptop.
It is just fantastic. I have been relying on PrimoPDF printer to print/make pdf file for a very long time. This adds another option for me, whether for work or others. I still keep my PrimoPDF printer since it will allow me print and append another one pdf to another, adjoining two or even more pdfs into one single pdf file, which I think is a neat and useful feature.
Well then, that is all for now. Do take care and be good to others around you. Wassalam.

Freemake Video Converter
Assalamu'alaikum and hi to all,
I have got the chance to use a software that helps convert video files from one format to another. It is not a one-fits all piece of software. There are certain formats that do not included in the conversion feature. This software is also able to combine 2 or more video files into 1 which is very convenience if you are trying to string-up your edited videos into one long complete video.
I have used this feature with 2 video files I have downloaded from the internet. The conversion went smoothly and I will test the output right after this . I did a two-pass encoding in which, through my reading generally produces better video quality.
And did I mentioned this software is free? Yes, you have read it right. It is a free software with 'normal' twist. During the installation, you may opt to install sponsored additional applications together with the software. You just need to look into the 'Custom Installation' to check or un-check the additional application accordingly.
Well, that is all for now. Hope to see you some other time. Till next time, take care and wassalam.
***edit
after solid 1 hour and a half of the total video runtime, the output is confirmed OK and good. I think I'll stick to this free software for its features and reliability. A good software.
