Split large PDF files with A-PDF Size Splitter

Have you ever had a PDF file – perhaps one that you’ve created on your own or one that you need to send by email to someone else that’s just huge? Some people have very small or almost full mailboxes. Send a file that’s too large and they won’t get it at all. Your email will bounce back to you.

Lucky for you there’s a simple desktop utility called A-PDF Size Splitter which will let you split any Acrobat PDF file or group of files into smaller PDF files.

The great thing about this program is that you can control the size of each of your split files as well as how they are named.

This is a stand alone program which means that you do not even have to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader for A-PDF size Splitter to work. You can use it for batch operations if you have multiple files or splits to create.

A-PDF Size Splitter supports both user and owner password protected PDF files and allows the keeping of the original file encryption.

Documents created using A-PDF Size Splitter are compatible with Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 5 so you can be assured that whomever you are sending the smaller size PDF files too should be able to read the documents.

If you think that this is a program that you could use you can download the program and use it for a 15 day trial. After that if you’d like to continue using the program you’ll need to buy a copy for the low price of only $27 USD.

Afordable PDF Tools carries a whole line of software that can be used with PDF files. Take a look at the various programs on the purchase page.

Adsense tips – Adsense section targeting

by Tricia

Are you dissatisfied with how your Adsense ads are performing on your site?

Well one way to safely view the ads on your site the way people from other areas and countries might be seeing them is to use the Adsense Preview Tool. On the Adsense site you’ll be able to find the tool for Internet Explorer. You can also download this aAdsense preview tool for Firefox if that’s your preferred browser.

If you decide that you don’t like the ads that are being served to your pages you could go into your Google adsense account and block certain advertisers if you’d like, but there might be a better way to get ads that truly fit your sites content.

Try using Adsense Section Targeting.

When you use Adsense Section Targeting you can tell adsense to only draw ads from the contents in your posts. Plus you can use the adsense targeting code to block out your sidebars and or your sites header.

I’ve blocked the sidebars on all of my sites because there are so many things that say blog in the sidebars that for a while it seemed that all the ads had something to do with blog or blogging no matter which site I had them on or what was being discussed in the posts.

If you want to try it out for yourself go to the Adsense help pages and visit the Adsense section targeting information.

If that link doesn’t work for you try:

Look in the adsense help section when you’re signed in – help -> working with my ads -> improving performance -> Using features wisely -> Emphasize important content with section targeting -> click the link in the description in that page that says “The Full Instructions” to learn how to add some code to your template to target certain sections for ads or how to block other sections of your site or page.

If Adsense section targeting doesn’t give you enough control over your ads try using Adsense referrals as well. You can have ads that display Google products and or products from 100’s of other companies and services. You can even pick each product.

One year free web hosting

by Tricia

Wow! I totally wish I’d known about EasyCGI’s summer blowout special on web hosting when I was having all my hosting trouble a week or so ago!

EasyCGI is offering free web hosting for one whole year!

The promotion is going on now and it’s for their Windows web hosting services. I checked to see if it was only on one of their hosting packages and to my surprise it’s on all three Windows hosting packages that they offer.

Just click on the link above to be eligible for EasyCGI’s free one year web hosting offer.

This does not appear to be a gimmick. I didn’t sign up yet, but I checked the packages out and went so far as to start the order process and there doesn’t seem to be any catches.

I do think that I will sign up even though I just found a new web host. I have so many sites that I think it might be a good idea to maintain a separate account at another web host or even divide up my sites between two hosts.

EasyCGI apparently has 99.9% uptime. They also offer 24/7 phone support. That’s something my last host was lacking and let me tell you when your sites go down over the weekend and you can only reach support via support tickets and email you’ll wish you had hosting at a site such as EasyCGI who offers support 24 hours a day!

If you run forums, a blog or use other scripts on your site you’ll be pleased to know that EasyCGI offers one step script installation. You’ll also have access to web traffic reports and set up tutorials as well as a knowledge base where you can learn more about hosting your own site, purchasing a domain and other things that have to do with maintaining a website.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a web hosting company offer a full year of hosting free of charge. Certainly we probably won’t see something like this again! Visit EasyCGI and see if their hosting packages suit your needs.

If you want to help me get the word out about this free one year of web hosting at EasyCGI click on the digg or del.ic.ious buttons below this post. If you aren’t a member of digg yet join digg and tell the world about this offer.
