PDF’s For All!

February 22, 2006

Got PDF?I’ve had access to Adobe Acrobat 5.0 for quite a while now (yes, I know it’s outdated – it’s free through the company I work for) and just realized that I use it quite a bit for everyday activities. It especially comes in handy when I’m not connected to a printer or want to save a softcopy of a webpage; I just use the Distiller to convert my document to PDF and save it to view or print later on. Anyways, I figure that not everyone has access to the Adobe Acrobat creator, or wants to splurge on a copy of it, so here’s a list of services that provide free PDF conversion.

-Web Based PDF Conversion-

ExpressPDF
The site provides conversion for MS Word, MS Excel, & web pages (their privacy policy seems to be under construction)

Neevia Document Converter eXpress
FYI, they have a 1MB file limitation on uploads.

-Local PDF Conversion- (installed on your computer)

PDFCreator
PDFCreator creates PDFs from any Windows program, just like Adobe’s Distiller.

CutePDF
According to the site, it was elected as one of the “50 Best free downloads” by Computer Shopper (May 2004).

PrimoPDF
Includes features like secure 40-/128-bit encryption and the ability to add document information (title, author, subject, keywords, et cetera).

extendedPDF
Allows PDF bookmarks and integrated hyperlinks.

*BTW, if you want to skip all this freeware and learn to do it yourself, you can visit O’Reilly’s PDF Hacks page. BTW, Apple’s OS X has the ability to create PDF’s built in.

Sincerely,
The Closet Entrepreneur

    Another good free source to PDF converter at http://www.freepdfconvert.com

    It can also convert back PDF to DOC.

    I am trying to find a pdf convert to jpg software. I know Adobe Standard does it but it is too costly. Is there a free alternative?

Androgens Evidence of an immune-mediated, antitumor effect of PDE5 inhibition is further shown by tetramer analysis on splenocytes obtained from sildenafil-treated, CT26WT tumor- bearing mice, which revealed a higher number of CTLs specific for AH-1 (unpublished data), a CT26 tumor-associated antigen, as compared with their untreated counterparts (19). To confirm immune-mediated antitumor activity in the sildenafil-treated groups, we performed an in vivo cytotoxicity assay. BALB/c mice were injected with PBS (naive), vaccinated with -irradiated CT26WT or C26GM, or challenged with CT26WT or C26GM tumors on day 0. On day 12 (CT26WT) or day 5 (C26GM), all mice received carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)–labeled splenocytes pulsed with the MHC class I–restricted AH-1 peptide (CFSEhigh), admixed with CFSE-labeled splenocytes pulsed with the irrelevant hemagglutinin (HA)-peptide (CFSElow). In vivo T cell cytotoxicity was determined 40 h later (Fig. 2). These time points were chosen based on the kinetics of tumor outgrowth observed in Fig. 1 A and Fig. 1 B, respectively, when tumor size significantly differed between untreated and sildenafil-treated mice. As expected, an endogenous AH1-specific immune response was observed in the vaccinated mice as compared with their tumor-bearing counterparts. PDE5 inhibition in the vaccine-primed mice failed to augment antigen-specific CD8 responsiveness compared with no treatment. In contrast, tumor-bearing mice treated with sildenafil early after tumor challenge generated antigen-specific immunity that was significantly greater then that observed in their untreated counterparts and similar, or even superior, to that induced by vaccination. Collectively, this is the first indication that PDE5 inhibitors can modulate antitumor immunity. Because the sildenafil-mediated antitumor immune response does not completely eradicate tumors, tumor escape mechanisms may be associated with their outgrowth. To test this hypothesis, the parental CT26WT cell line, as well as the CT26 tumor removed on day 24 from sildenafil-treated mice (either AH-1 pulsed or unpulsed), and BALB/c splenocytes were incubated with either AH-1 peptide-primed (Fig. S1 C) or tumor-primed (Fig. S1 D) effector T cells. Although effector T cells recognized the parental CT26WT line and released IFN- in the assay, they failed to recognize the sildenafil-derived tumor. Its recognition, however, was restored by loading the sildenafil-derived tumor with the AH-1 peptide. (Fig. S1, C and D). These results suggest that the immune response in sildenafil-treated mice does not result in complete tumor eradication but rather in the selection of antigen-escape variants. This new study of Cialis, taken once daily, demonstrates that the drug substantially improves functional capacity, improves quality of life, and also results in less clinical worsening in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, Fonarow said.
