![]() Just click on the File menu and then Properties and switch to the Fonts tab. You can check the list of fonts used in your PDF and also whether they are embedded or subsetted using Adobe Reader. This can reduce the file size but will also mean that editing of the file in the future will require the fonts to be loaded on the host machine. If you have seen that Fonts are a big factor of your PDF file size then your best option in most cases will be to subset the fonts in the PDF which will remove any unused characters from the embedded font set. If a document has multiple fonts or double-byte fonts this can mean the file size increases by many megabytes. However, embedding the fonts comes at a cost of increasing file size. Even if the host machine does not have the fonts installed this will guarantee the fonts display correctly and the document’s layout remains as the editor intended. If you want to ensure fonts look the same on every device that the PDF can be shown it is a great idea to embed the fonts. It’s very easy and we show you how to do it in this support article. The main one is to try and reprint the PDF using a browser PDF printer and then use a PDF compressor to reduce the size of the resulting file. However, there are workarounds to compress the size of PDF files made from content streams. Unlike images which can be resized or recompressed with a more optimal quality to reduce them in size, content streams tend to be large and cannot be directly compressed. The problem is that because all of the content is stored in a ‘Stream’ of data there is no real way of identifying which piece of content is driving up the file size. When content streams are used, a page in a PDF document has one or more content stream parts that together contain all the PDF page description commands for the page. These are essentially the contents of the pages - the text and any line drawings. Most applications make use of image and text markup to create PDF content items, however, some applications create PDFs that use Content Streams. This is the save PDF dialog in Photoshop for example, which may have a preset for smallest size, but you are looking for compression options including downsampling images as highlighted below. However, if the file was created in another application and you have access to the source file, then your best option might be to save a new PDF from the source and check for options to downsample the images. These tools are designed to compress PDF files quickly and simply by automatically resizing images, optimizing image formats and adjusting quality levels while removing background or hidden data that isn't needed for normal use of the file.Įxtracting images from a PDF file to hand optimize them is not really a practical option, hence the suggestion to use a compressor. In this case the best option is to use a PDF Compressor like NXPowerLite Desktop. Or, if your file is less than 50 MB you have the option to use the free online file compressor WeCompress. ![]() You may be able to tell just by looking at the document that it’s full of large full-colour images and know they are likely to blame for the file size. ![]() The online PDF file analyzer from WeCompress will show you a breakdown of the content in your PDF file: Helpfully, there is a free tool that lets you see exactly why YOUR pdf is so large > artwork for postersįind out what is making your PDF file big PIECE INFORMATION - extra data saved inside the PDF file, by applications like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop etc.ĬONTENT STREAMS - PDF files created with the text, layout and images all combined together into impenetrable content streamsĮMBEDDED FONTS - some fonts can be surprisingly large. LARGE IMAGES - obvious, but not always as easy to spot as you might think Because when you know that, you can use the right tool for the job and just get on with your day. ![]() So it’s important to start with a clear understanding of the type of content that is currently lurking in your PDF file. Starting with why…īefore we dive in, it’s worth noting that there are many, many reasons why PDF files can end up so big, and there are lots of different tools and approaches that can be used to downsize them. So today we are going to show you how to figure out exactly what is making your PDF file so heavy - and give you some tools and techniques for reducing its file size. Well, we love finding out what makes files big and all the many ways they can be made small again. Maybe you don’t know why it is big or perhaps you don’t have the tools to fix it. Do you have a big PDF file? We love big PDF files! It’s kind of our thing. ![]() ![]() The EPUB file format is designed specifically for storing and managing electronic publications (digital publications, EPUB books, brochures). However, to view files saved with the DOCX extension in older applications (MS Word versions 2000, 2002, and 2003), it is recommended to install a compatibility package necessary for working not only with DOCX but also with DOCM. This is the successor to the old version of DOC, which can still be opened through applications that support DOCX. The DOCX file extension is used to open text files in Microsoft Office 2007 or newer. For scanning texts that are not oriented to recognition: manuscripts, parchments, and other historical documents, or to digitize books and publish them in a web interface. The extension is often used to scan texts with an abundance of components that are heavy for recognition: formulas, schemes, sketches, tables. Although the DjVu format is compressed, it allows you to save high-resolution images in small files. The DjVu file format is designed for storing and viewing scanned books, magazines, catalogs, documents, scientific materials, and other images. Used by Windows and other software as an online reference. May include text, images, and hyperlinks. The CHM format is for reference documentation collected and saved in compressed HTML files. The CBC archive can be automatically converted to an ebook in Calibre. The text file contains a list of all files included in the archive. CBCĬBC is a container format used by Calibre (a free software used to convert ebooks), which can contain several CBZ and CBR files and also a text file called "comics.txt" in UTF-8 encoding. Pages are automatically structured and can be displayed one or two at a time. Internally the file format is using a compressed set of JPEG, PNG, or static GIF images that are stored in a separate archive. The CBR format is used to store and display comic ebooks, or other sets of pages. Similar to the CBR extension file, which uses RAR compression. Storage as a compressed archive using ZIP compression. CBZĬBZ is a comic ebook file format, containing an image structured on a page. Of course, it can be used only by Amazon Kindle and usually (always) includes DRM. ![]() It is an ebook file format for so-called «Print Replicas». It supports CSS3, HTML5, and many other contemporary ebook facilities, and as well as regular AZW it requires DRM. When AZW is just a file format for textbooks, AZW3 supports much more features. This format reads ebooks that are protected by DRM (digital rights management) and this protection is the only difference between AZW and MOBI. AZW - is an ebook file format developed by Amazon for their own ebook reader Kindle. ![]() In the following you find more detailed information about available ebook formats: Instead of this general tool since they produce optimized results. ![]() In case you want toĬonvert DjVu ebooks you can use our dedicated DjVu converters Since the AZW files are protected by Kindle DRM they cannot be converted using our online tool.

![]() ![]() New leaves emerge, and soon an entire plant is formed. As the plant receives warmth, moisture, sunlight and carbon dioxide, it is able to transform these elements into nutrition for growth and maintenance. Within the leaves are special cells containing chlorophyll, which transforms sunlight into usable energy for the plant. They drop off as soon as the mature leaves are produced. Also, consider planting varieties that mature at different times to stagger your harvest. To extend your harvest, you can succession plant seeds every two to three weeks as long as your growing season is long enough. The first pair of leaves provide photosynthesis for the seedling. Lima bean seeds take roughly seven to 18 days to germinate.A stalk (hypocotyl) sets the seed and cotyledons firmly into the soil. ![]() ![]() Most Lima beans will sprout and mature within 75 to 90 days of planting. These leaves (also termed cotyledons) emerge above the ground, as opposed to below the soil surface which is common in other plants, and are connected to the seed. The Lima bean will grow, flower, seed and then die.The life cycle is the time span required for a plant to grow completely. They're rounded, and help the plant grow quickly into a strong, mature plant. While knowing What is Lima Bean and Cyclamen, life cycle is important to know. The first leaves to emerge from a bean plant do not look like the typical bean plant leaves. As the stem emerges from the soil, two little leaves emerge. After the seed germinates and the roots grow, the bean plant begins to push out a single stem. ![]() ![]() All this space in the main chamber means you can install an incredibly high-end custom liquid loop on every component with multiple radiators. GPU thickness isn't going to be a problem thanks to the 7000D's copious amounts of expansion slots, both vertically and horizontally. There's enough clearance in the 7000D for a graphics card up to 450mm in length and a CPU air cooler as tall as 190mm. The 7000D also supports 360mm, 420mm, and 480mm radiators, though not all of these can be installed at the same time, with three 360mm radiators being the maximum. All those vents are there to allow up to twelve 120mm fans to suck in and exhaust as much air as possible. Except for the side panel which is made of tempered glass, every side of the 7000D is covered in perforations and vents. It comes in either black or white and has three preinstalled 120mm fans as well as a fan hub that can support six fans in total. Corsair's 7000D Airflow is well-equipped to handle modern high-end components for $230, which isn't that high compared to how much high-end components cost these days.Īesthetically, the 7000D is extremely minimalistic and functional. $245 at Amazon $270 at Newegg $270 at Best Buyįull tower cases are becoming more and more appealing these days as AMD, Nvidia, and Intel keep launching newer processors with higher levels of power consumption than ever before. The 465X happens to be the most affordable of them all at about $140, and we highly recommend it for anyone who's looking to build a midrange PC. The Corsair iCUE 465X is a solid alternative to several other Corsair cases since many of them are essentially the same in size. You can also install the GPU vertically, but there's less clearance for thickness, which may pose a problem for modern high-end cards that take up three or more slots. This is basically enough for any high-end GPU or CPU air cooler. You can also install a GPU up to 300mm in length and a CPU air cooler up to 160mm in height. Radiator support is 360mm at the front, 240mm on the top, and 120mm in the back, which is technically worse than the 5000X RGB, but in practice even a high-end PC doesn't need anything more than a 360mm radiator for an AIO or custom liquid cooler. These fans can be controlled using the included iCUE Lighting Node Core fan hub, which conveniently supports up to six RGB fans. The iCUE 465X RGB also comes with three 120mm RGB fans preinstalled on the front panel (which leaves a large enough gap for good airflow), with room for two more fans on the top and one at the back. ![]() That's particularly nice for users wanting to make a custom cooling loop, but it'll also be useful for anyone who wants to install a higher-end AIO cooler. Radiator support is also great, with the potential to adding up to three 360mm radiators. In addition to the three 120mm fans at the front, there's room for three more at the top, another one in the back, and another three fans on the non-glass side panel. However, a glass front panel usually results in suboptimal airflow for the intake fans at the front, which could be a problem if you want to insert a lot of high-performance components.ĭespite that, the 5000X doesn't compromise on cooling. ![]() The 5000X provides the common and popular combination of tempered glass panels (on every side but the bottom and back) plus three RGB fans preinstalled in the front. ![]() This case comes in either black or white, but the white version is more of a combination of white and gray, unlike the black version, which is uniformly black. At about $200, it's definitely on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for, and the 5000X provides a great foundation for years of upgrading. ![]() $235 at Amazon $215 at Newegg $215 at Best BuyĬorsair has a very good selection of mid-tower cases and its iCUE 5000X RGB case ticks the most boxes for the kind of PC you'll want to keep upgrading for years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Make a directory (folder) called School: mkdir SchoolĬhange directories into the School directory: cd School Substitute another folder name from the list outputted by the ls command).

Why is this important? Once you get into any kind of programming (design, front-end, back-end, and more), you'll almost always create folders and files for your code via the command line. You'll have a huge advantage as a beginner if you're comfortable with this.įrom your command line, make sure you are in a place in your system that you can remember. You'll create this same equivalent for second semester ing Terminal, of course. The first semester folder that you'll use as inspiration is organized like this: First semester folder structure You need to create the same folder for your second semester coursework. On your computer, you have a complete folder called "First semester" that holds all your first semester coursework. Scenario: You're at university, and you've just started your second semester. If I wanted to create a folder called new-folder , I would run: mkdir new-folder mkdir is short for "make directory." Specify the name of the directory (folder) you want to create just after it. Use the command mkdir to create a directory. How does one go about creating a folder in Terminal? Time for a new command! mkdir If you want to get more into programming! However, there are advantages to doing this via the terminal, especially Yes, you could just do this via Finder or whatever tool you use to browse and create files now. It's now time to create a folder within your system. ![]() ![]() ![]() This gives pet owners peace of mind, knowing that their pet’s sensitive information is protected from hackers and other malicious actors.

Greed is also one of the ‘evil’ characteristics which can be shown in people’s behaviour as a feeling superior to others, a love of spectacle. Woland refers to human greed, an ever-existing quality of human character regardless of the times and places one lives in. “(…) they are people like any other people, they love money (…)”. In the book, Woland expresses these feelings in the following way: Times change, discoveries happen but human nature remains the same, no matter what political system or religion is in place. Woland concludes that people of Moscow living in the 1930s and people of Jerusalem living in the times of Yeshua (Jesus) have the same qualities – the essence of human nature does not change even if the structure of the state changes – it is still impossible to transform a “human soul”. Here, the Devil is a meticulous observer of humanity, of contemporary Moscow and of ancient Jerusalem. When it comes to his deeds, there is no clear distinction between good and bad. Woland, the Devil in the book is an ambiguous character he is like a human character. It does help to dig into the history of Russia and Eastern Europe of the 1920s and 1930 to better understand all the symbolism in Bulgakov’s masterpiece.ĭepiction of Human Nature, Good, and Evil The Master and Margarita is a multi-layered book with many symbolic references. Having an Eastern European heritage, Bulgakov’s book has always resonated with me at a personal level as no other book ever had. ![]() This book holds a special place in my heart as it depicts beautifully with all the necessary nuances the most important characteristics related to Russia and Eastern Europe during the course of the tragic 20 th century. ![]() The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is one of my favourite books I have ever read. ![]() ![]() ![]() Switching the game to 60fps makes everything feel incredibly smooth, with the caveat that the textures will be set to ‘low’. For a more action-packed game, this lower framerate might have been an issue – but it works great with the narrative-heavy, slow-paced investigative nature of Robert Foster’s latest trip to Union City. What this means in practical terms is that the game looks, sounds and plays great on 4K televisions.īy default, the game runs at 30fps with ‘high’ textures. A free upgrade for the PlayStation 4 version will also be offered from the 23rd December – today!Īccording to the studio’s most recent newsletter, the native PlayStation 5 version offers 4K resolution, a bonus 60fps mode, dynamic lighting effects, more geometry and a new renderer. The PlayStation 5 version of Beyond a Steel Sky is a rock-solid port and a delightful surprise Revolution Software didn’t originally plan to make a native version for the console (as it is backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 games) but later changed its mind. Another benefit of these comprehensive patches? The console version has arrived in fabulous shape! However, never a studio to rest on its laurels, Revolution Software spent the months following release continually patching and improving the game, as well as adding new features such as an in-depth director’s commentary.Īll of these improvements served to continually increase immersion and allow Beyond a Steel Sky to truly shine after all, when a game has art direction and sound design as accomplished as this, you want to be distracted by the underlying technology as little as possible. When Beyond a Steel Sky launched on PC (please see AMO’s original review here), it was a wonderful adventure unfortunately marred by some slight – but noticeable – technical issues. Beyond a Steel Sky is a story-driven adventure game originally released on Apple Arcade and PC in 2020, which Alternative Magazine Online’s review described as “a refreshing throwback that feels thoroughly modern and should be experienced by any self-respecting fan of the genre.” A sequel to the 1994 cult classic Beneath a Steel Sky, this follow-up – which is set 10 years later, with Robert Foster returning to Union City to track down a kidnapped child – was recently released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch. ![]() |
