Nitro PDF 6 - page numbers disappear |
|
Had a simple task of adding page numbers to a PDF file. Normally I use NitroPDF for this sort of PDF edits and normally it works well. This time, however, NitroPDF refused to play nicely. PDF document was quite large and contained some maps with mixture of high resolution raster and vector graphics (which I suspect was causing the whole issue).
Page numbering feature in NitroPDF is called Bates Number. 
After adjusting settings and clicking apply, page numbers would temporarily appear (while progress bar was displaying "Applying bates numbers").
But once process was finished, page numbers were gone.
It seemed like NitroPDF was failing on pages with above mentioned maps as adding numbers to a page range which not included these maps worked fine. Trying to add numbers via Header & Footer feature failed as well. In this case NitroPDF would simply crash.

Transfer windows 7 desktop gadgets between computers |
|
It looks like Microsoft are abandoning Windows Desktop Gadgets as they are focusing on Windows 8 Metro style apps. Official Windows Desktop Gadgets web page only lists handful of the most popular gadgets and new gadgets are not anymore accepted. It obviously doesn't mean you can't download and install them from other sources. If you have a useful gadget on one computer and want to install it on another you may find that it's not available to download from Microsoft. In that case you can easily transfer it from one machine to another.

HP LaserJet 5550 fails to print multiple copies |
|
I've seen this issue on HP 5550 printer but it may be affecting other HP devices as well. Basically printer works absolutely fine if you print only one copy. However, as soon as you try to print more than one copy (even if it’s just a one page document) printing fails. It does print one copy fine, but then printer just stops or prints a page with one of the following errors:
Error: Unable to store job at printer
Reason: Insufficient disk space for this job
Error: Unable to store job at printer
Reason: Printer does not support collation at printer.

Installing RamDisk in Windows 7 to perform external media speed tests |
RamdiskRamDisk as a virtual hard drive that uses part of your RAM. To the Operating System and applications it appears as a normal physical hard drive. These drives are very fast, much faster than any mechanical or SSD hard drives. Unfortunately they have very limited use because of two reasons:
- RAM is much more expensive than any hard drive, even an SSD
- All data stored on a RAM drive is lost if computer is shut down or loses power
