Posted on

PDF is a widely used file format for document exchanging and exhibiting, which has several preset pdf descriptions to store the properties of a pdf document. These pdf descriptions generally are defined by the application that creates the pdf document, and editable for a third-part supported pdf processing application, e.g., Adobe Acrobat. Advanced PDF Tools supports to modify both the preset and customized pdf descriptions of a pdf file. The methods of modifying the descriptions with GUI are presented at http://goo.gl/fwfhn and http://goo.gl/sM8Ff. This article will present a method of using the command line mode to add customized pdf descriptions to an existing pdf document.

You may download the package of application at http://goo.gl/blDLp and unpack it into your Microsoft Windows Operating System. In the directory of the package, for example, “D:\advanced_pdf_tools_cmd_v3.0\”, you will see an executable file named “pdftools.exe” that is used to be run in MS-DOS mode. A basic command usage of the program is

pdftools  -i input.pdf –o output.pdf <Enter>,

where “-i” option with a file name argument of “input.pdf” is for specifying the name of source file and “-o” with “output.pdf” is for the name of output file. Below are some examples of adding customized pdf descriptions to an existing pdf document.

To add a pdf description item of “URL” with its value of “www.VeryPDF.com” to an existing pdf document named “test.pdf” and store the new pdf document as “addurl.pdf”, you can use these commands,

pdftools -i "test.pdf" -o "addurl.pdf" -y "URL=www.VeryPDF.com" <Enter>,

or

pdftools -i "test.pdf" -o "addurl.pdf" -y "/URL(www.VeryPDF.com)" <Enter>.

Then, you will see a newly created pdf document named “test.pdf” in the current directory of the command line prompt window. Access the pdf description information of the document with Adobe Reader or other supported application, you will find that a new customized pdf description of “URL” with value “www.VeryPDF.com” is added as presented below.

To add more than one pdf description to a pdf document once in one command line, for example, to add both “URL” of “www.VeryPDF.com” and “Usage” of “Demo only”, the required commands are

pdftools -i "test.pdf" -o "uu.pdf" -y "URL=www.VeryPDF.com, Usage=Demo only" <Enter>,

or

pdftools -i "test.pdf" -o "uu.pdf" -y "/URL(www.VeryPDF.com) /Usage(Demo only)" <Enter>.

After executing the commands, the pdf document of “test.pdf” is saved as a new pdf document named “uu.pdf” with two customized pdf descriptions, “URL” and “Usage”, added as displayed in the next snapshot.

To add a new customized pdf description item “Copyright” with value of “VeryPDF.com Inc.” without overwriting the existing ones to a pdf document, the command line is,

pdftools -i "uu.pdf" -o "uu+.pdf" -y "+Copyright=VeryPDF.com Inc." <Enter>,

or

pdftools -i "uu.pdf" -o "uu+.pdf" -y "+/Copyright(VeryPDF.com Inc.)" <Enter>.

In the command line, the character “+” is to tell the program to append a new customized pdf description and retain the existing ones of the pdf document named “uu.pdf”. The new pdf file is saved as “uu+.pdf”. The following snapshot shows that a new customized pdf description item of “Copyright” is appended to the two existing ones of “Usage” and “URL” with the latter two maintained in the pdf document.

There are more command options of Advanced PDF Tools for setting the pdf descriptions, such as open actions, page layouts, page sizes, page margins, page orientations, etc. For more details of this multifunction software, please visit https://www.verypdf.com/pdfinfoeditor/index.html.

How to open PDF file in OpenOffice application?

Posted on

    Some guys often asks that “How can I open and edit pdf files in the OpenOffice”? Before OpenOffice extensions came about my answer to that would be “Not easily”. But now, thanks to a very useful tool created by VeryPDF, editing a PDF file is as simple as adding an extension to Microsoft Office.

The VeryPDF offers numerous feature softwares, like PDF to PowerPoint Converter , is simple to install. OpenOffice is more or less the Microsoft Office, if you know how to use the Microsoft Office, OpenOffice  is a piece of cake for you.  Once upon a time, nonprofits that wanted a powerful, useful-friendly word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation package were faced with two options: Microsoft Office and ... still  Microsoft Office. But over time, an open-source alternative, OpenOffice has become increasingly popular, making it a viable, affordable option for organizations seeking a productivity suite.For most computers that you would actually want to use, both OpenOffice 3 and Microsoft Windows 2010 will work fine. While OpenOffice is said to run a bit slower, particularly when opening up complex documents in Microsoft's proprietary formats, the difference is negligible if you've purchased your computer in the last couple of years. Both platforms also offer comparable support for Macs.So when you use OpenOffice, it is nearly the same as Microsoft Office.  If you want to know more differences between Microsoft Office and OpenOffice , maybe you need to consult some professionals.

  The process of using PDF to PowerPoint Converter could be summarized follow steps.

Snap1 

  • Then choose the menu options on the menu bar.  “Output Options” decides the content of converted pdf.Want to keep its original layout, please choose the first one. Only need text and discard all the pictures, please choose the second one.  “ReconstructionSnap2 Mode”: three choices here. a, it will arrange the text content automatically b,the text boxes will follow the paragraphs or units c,the text boxes appear in very small units. “Page Range”:here choose the pages wanted to be converted.( from P to P)
  • Please input the password,if the source file has.

Snap3

  • As all the preparation work has been done,please convert it and save it.
  • The ppt file will bounce to the screen voluntarily.

Snap4

  • Now you can apply information in the ppt to any software,like spreadsheet in OpenOffice. You also can use the same way to add  the pdf information  to your other OpenOffice working software.
