Do we really need to spend hundreds on tools that’ll enable us to convert doc files to pdf, or maybe there are better cost effective ways to achieve the same results? Pdf is already pretty much the standard in distributing electronic documents; it makes it quite easy to “print” documents into a unified standard format, for instance word documents and practically any other file(s) type. So far it sounds simple, but how can this actually be done? The following report will provide you with some useful tips and guidelines.

The basic idea behind pdf is that it transforms digital files from their original format into a ‘generic’ cross-platform format, so the outcome would look identical, no matter on which platform it is being viewed. It solves so many compatibility problems and provides other advantages, if for example you’ve just created a text doc by using a specific font and style – it’ll make sure that all font settings remain ‘untouched’, even if your pdfs are about to be opened on a windows or mac operating systems that do not have these fonts installed.

Now, in order to convert doc files to pdf you need to find an application that’ll create top quality and standard PDFs. By quickly searching the net’ you’ll find various online and software solutions, you can save a lot of trouble by filtering solutions that do not comply with several (basic) key features. Verify that the following fundamental features exist: it should be easily integrated into all your installed applications, must support the most updated Acrobat (Adobe) version, and should enable you to combine completely different file types into one PDF.

Before spending hours on researching each solution you find, simply see if the developers offer free trials, it is the best way to see if an application truly enables you to convert doc files to pdf. Check each solution’s system requirements and see that it is compatible with your system. Finally, there is one last issue – you need to make sure that the solution you choose suggests constant security updates, otherwise your pdfs might not be compatible with possible future format changes.

    Bypass bypass DRM video from license protected video music files and Convert DRM Protected Music Video files WMA WMV M4P M4V M4A

    Most of the protected video and music downloaded online like Windows Media Player iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, Bearshare , Spiral Frog are all DRM files.

    What is DRM? Why do we bypass DRM from WMA, M4P, WMV, M4V, M4A, etc?

   DRM (Digital Rights Management) – The anti consumer copy protection that prevents you from using music or movies in a way that suits you.
   For example, if a DRM WMA or DRM WMV you downloaded from WMP(windows media player) that has windows DRM, you can only play it back on a compatible device, so if every piece of music had windows DRM on it you would need to buy the same track on CD to listen in your CD player or car, as an iTunes download to play on your iPod, as a ms store download to play on your Zune etc, but since you paid for it once you shouldn’t be forced to pay for it again and again, remove windows DRM and you can play it on your phone, iPod, Zune, PSP, CD player, pc, and anything else that you can listen to music on.

A few methods listed below:
1. Burn and rip
  Actually, there is a common free method to bypass DRM WMA, M4P with 2 steps:
    Step 1 Burn DRM WMA, M4P to CD. (need a CD burner, like DVD Copy)
    Step 2 Rip the DRM WMA, M4P from CD to your computer as MP3 format , then the DRM should be removed from the WMA files. ( need a CD ripper, like Daniusoft DVD Ripper)

    But it’s not very convenient that may wear out your CR-ROM, and It also needs a blank CD, a CD burner and a CD ripper to help you.

    This is only possible when the software that plays these DRM-restricted audio files allows CD-burning. Some software products simplify and automate this burn-rip process by allowing the user to burn music to a CD-RW disc or to a Virtual CD-R drive, then automatically ripping and encoding the music, and automatically repeating this process until all selected music has been converted, rather than forcing the user to do this one CD (72-80 minutes’ worth of music) at a time.
    Software such as: Share DRM Music and NoteBuner can bypass DRM in this way.

 
2. Re-record
    One of the most common and simple technology is recording the DRM WMA and DRM WMV then use an ordinary converter to convert the recorded and unprotected files. Because this technology is easy to realized and easy to support more DRM formats besides DRM WMA and DRM WMV it is welcomed by most of the DRM converters . Software such as SoundTaxi and Tunebite use what is re-record DRM music tech to bypass DRM.

    Use this software to record the signals being sent through the audio or video cards, or to plug analog recording devices into the analog outputs of the media player. These techniques utilize the so-called “analog hole”. SoundTaxi can do that in this way. It is very fast to convert your DRM protected music and video.

    But there are some disadvantages for those programs.
    1. The conversion speed won’t get much improvement due to the long recording process.
    2. Much audio and video quality could be lost during the recording process.

  
3. Hook
    Hook is another new and more complicated technology which can be used to remove Windows DRM. Comparing with Re-recording software, these sorts of programs have much higher conversion speed, but it’s hard to make it support some DRM formats with new and lofty encryption techniques.
     Daniusoft was one of its supporters. After giving a test for some free trials you will find it’s very easy to remove DRM from WMV WMA and other protected music video files with Daniusoft Media Converter Pro, it can remove DRM protection legally and convert other video & music even HD video in high quality. It’s the best bypass drm video methods listed.

    Here are key functions of Daniusoft Media Converter Pro

    1.DRM remover
    Legally remove DRM WMV/WMA/M4P/M4V/ASF… using record technically process which records play and saves the recordings in unprotected digital formats

    2.Video Converter
    Convert all popular video: MP4, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, RM, RMVB, DAT, MOV, FLV, AVI, Xvid, VOB, MKV

    3. HD video Converter
    Support convert high-definition video: M2TS, TP, TRP, TS, AVI

    4. Audio Converter
    Convert any audio files between MP3, WAV, M4A, WMA, OGG, AAC, APE…

    You can free download the DRM Remover to have a try:

Simple steps for conversion:
1. Add DRM WMV , DRM WMA, iTunes M4P and other protected files.
2. Choose the output format you need
3. Pressthe “Start” button.

And the other method you can make a try :  Many software programs have been developed that intercept the data stream as it is decrypted out of the DRM-restricted file, and then use this data to construct a DRM-free file.
These programs require a decryption key. Programs that do this for DVDs, HD DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs include universal decryption keys in the software itself. Programs that do this for TiVo ToGo recordings, iTunes audio, and PlaysForSure songs, however, rely on the user’s own key ?that is, they can only process content that the user has legally acquired under his or her own account.

In the May 2009 issue of Food Logistics magazine, Gary Nowacki, CEO of TraceGains, suggested, “There are technology solutions available to overcoming the high cost of perishable shrink and they must prioritize inventory and shipments based on FEFO: First Expired, First Out.”  The FEFO concept is based on the following core ideas:

1) Temperature control must be monitored.

2) Temperature varies greatly inside a storage room, container or truck.

3) Even slight temperature variation affects the remaining shelf life of produce and temperature exposure has a cumulative effect.

4) Identifying the temperature exposure of individual pallets or cases of produce allows prioritization on the basis of remaining shelf life, instead of simple transit and storage times.

Perishable shrink costs retailers a tremendous amount of money. Vulnerable items such as meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables, and flowers can expire prematurely due to incorrect temperature handling in the supply chain. Transportation and interim storage at the distribution center all affect the final quality of the saleable product. Consumers are quick to judge based on appearance and remember when a product does not meet their expectations.

To determine how different temperatures cumulatively affect the remaining life of the product, one must measure the exact temperature accumulations in small granularity within each area of the truck or storage facility in conjunction with shelf-life modeling. Solutions must automatically calculate expiration dates of perishables when received at the dock as well as document trip-level temperature data at item, carton or pallet for a more successful conflict and dispute resolution.

Assuring freshness for the entire refrigerated food supply chain requires much more than just a cold chain and cold storage solution.  A complete end-to-end temperature traceability is needed for all temperature-sensitive products as well as predicting the remaining shelf-life when products arrive.  Traceability programs must be converted from a cost-center to a profit center by using appropriate data collection devices to tie logistical information with temperature data collected at regular intervals throughout transportation and storage on the item, carton or pallet level across any part of the supply chain.

TraceGains, Inc. (www.TraceGains.com) was founded in 1998 with a 100% focus on Positively Assured Traceability™. The company has a patented delivery system—14 patents granted and growing—and also is an authorized Issuer of United States Department of Agriculture Process Verification Program (PVP) Label.

So many people are getting all worked up and excited over the new Windows Vista. As expected, most new users are interested to know what is new with Vista and what makes it better to use than previous editions. Will it be easier to use? Will there be better safety and security features? Will technical and management aspects be given fair attention? It may not be possible to completely detail all of Vista’s new or improved features. Among its many notable features are the following:

Windows Shell

The appearance of the operating system is the first marketing strategy to use on non-technical individuals. Many home users understandably get attracted with basic aesthetic features and easy to use functions. In operating systems, the appearance and ease of use can best be associated with the shell which presents the user interface. With Windows, their shell is Explorer. In Windows Vista, the shell is associated with Aero.

The translucent glass look of Aero alone is an image of elegance and lends an added illusion of depth. Users also have the choice to use the appearance of previous Windows versions. Aside from a change in look, Vista also addresses aspects in organization, filtering and storing. The “Stacks” function for example will allow users to filter files or group files according to user criteria.

Multimedia Applications

Movie, photo and music enthusiasts and experts will be happy to know that Vista has added features for them too. The Windows Movie Maker for example will allow editing of DVR-MS videos. The new Windows DVD Maker on the other hand will allow DVD creation and burning. For photo enthusiasts, the Windows Photo Gallery will still allow basic editing plus metadata additions to photos. Windows Paint also now has unlimited undo functions.

Windows Defender

On the aspect of security, Vista now includes Windows Defender which can be used against spyware. Aside from the usual function of scanning for spyware, Windows Defender can also perform real time monitoring for changes in Windows that have been caused by spyware. With Windows Defender, users can now easily keep in touch with Microsoft to inquire about suitable applications and spyware.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is not a very new concept. There are however, some improvements in Vista. With Vista, wireless connections do not mimic wired connections. The network stack now holds the support for wireless networks. New features can then be implemented. These include easily finding and identifying open and closed networks.

Speech Recognition

With this feature, users can use voice commands on their computer unit. The difference between Vista voice recognition and other versions is that voice recognition in Vista boasts full integration. Certain applications therefore can be manipulated by dictation. A mousegrid may be used for applications that require mouse functions. A user simply needs to dictate a series of numbers to zero in on the particular area that has to be clicked. This feature is easy to use even without the tutorial provided. Voice recognition is fairly high and exact.

Outsourcing is a process, such as manufacturing anything or product design, to a third-party company. Outsourcing often results lowering cost or making better use of time and energy costs.

Offshore software development outsourcing has led to dramatic industry growth around the world.

There are some few but most important factors that led big companies to outsource their software application development to offshore companies.

These factors are like better management at small cost, good quality products in very low cost etc.

Eastern countries like India etc are the good market places and number one choice due to cheaper human capital, very skilled professional, rich resources and low processes cost etc. Due to these factors India and some other Eastern countries are the first choice of big companies.

Around 40% of the Fortune 500 companies including Lucent, Microsoft, Oracle, and Motorola etc are leveraging the outsourcing model.

Companies are outsourced and hire consultants in order to maintain a flexible workforce.

If we will analyze overall strategy like failure and success we will find overall the offshore outsourcing effort is a successful idea.

The main Objective of Outsourcing is to maximize the ROI (Return on Investment)

There are some points that are very important while doing offshore software outsourcing.

You should remember while doing offshore software project outsourcing:

• Proper synchronization between onshore and offshore team.
• Better time management.
• Quality of the end product.
• Better growth opportunities. etc.
