PDFCreator .. the best PDF creator ever!

I’ve mentioned in my post before, about CutePDF, a simple and powerful PDF creator. Well, I recently found the better one and even the best PDF creator. It is PDFCreator. As usual, I only give free and great stuff. You can download it here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pdfcreator/PDFCreator-0_9_5_setup.exe?download.

 

These are the key features of PDFCreator (I copy and paste from the website):

  • Create PDFs from any program that is able to print
  • Security: Encrypt PDFs and protect them from being opened, printed etc.
  • Send generated files via eMail
  • Create more than just PDFs: PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PS, EPS
  • AutoSave files to folders and filenames based on Tags like Username, Computername, Date, Time etc.
  • Merge multiple files into one PDF
  • Easy Install: Just say what you want and everything is installed
  • Terminal Server: PDFCreator also runs on Terminal Servers without problems
  • And the best: PDFCreator is free, even for commercial use! It is Open Source and released under the Terms of the GNU General Public License.

 

And to make it even better, PDFCreator is open source. We can get the source code, modify, and compile it in our computer, in case we want to look at and study it. Or even when we want to customize some behaviour of the application.

 

Great stuff ever! Have it a try fellas .. :)

Your Blog - Step 4: Show me the MONEY!

Now, it's time to talk about the money opportunities in your blog. Basically, all you have to do for this is one thing: create a pay-per-click link. That's it. Finish. And technically, you can do this in your blog by creating a HTML Script element. You already can do that, right? If you can't, send me a comment on this post, I will give the answer.

Now, the final question: who does provide such this generous service? The first is obvious, and probably many of us already know this: Google AdSense. This is the most famous pay-per-click advertising exists in Internet. If we see an advertising in websites, mostly, it will be Google AdSense.

The terms are easy. All we have to do is, register for Google Adsense, provide our valid address, identity and so on, until finish. Just follow the order asked. And, in the latest step, we will be asked for the kind of advertising we intend to have.

Warning! You must provide a valid postal address. That is the only way for Google to send you the money. Well, we can have it transfered through banks, but it's not easy. The postal address is the most preferred by Google to send you the money. So, don't give fake address. Or, you won't get the money.

There are 3 types of advertising:

  1. AdSense for Content
  2. AdSense for Search
  3. Referrals.
The most common one is AdSense for Content. That is the advertising we always see in many websites.

After we finish all the registration and setup processes, we will be given a HTML Script to add to our website. This is the script that we must put into our blog. This is the main goal of all the steps, to have this money-generating script. But, still we have to finish the procedure.

It's quite long to tell the whole process and steps. You must to do it your self. Try it, that is the only way. If you afraid or worry of something, just ask me. Put a comment on this post. I will send you the answer.

Now? What? Do it! Grab the money! :)
