Free handy tools to deal with pdf documents

As simple as the task may be, for the users of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, it is not possible to save a rotated version of the pdf document that they are viewing. Here is a simple solution: Check out http://www.rotatepdf.net/ . This site lets you rotate and save pdf and does not even store any copy of the document you are rotating (According to their claim). 

Another really neat web tool to modify pdf files is at http://www.pdfescape.com/ . At this site you can upload your pdf file to add or delete text, add image or hyperlink, add form fields, highlight and more! 

But these tools are only useful if you are in an area where you can access the internet. The most useful desktop tool that I have used so far is called the Foxit Reader. Its a lightweight tool that is fast and it has got all the features mentioned above and much more! Best thing about it is that its FREE! Be careful before using any of these tools for commercial use though, the license is for personal use only!

As valid as all of her points were, some bikers took is as treachery against the minority group that she belongs to. Personally, I felt relieved to see one of them owning up to the strange behaviour that is somehow not really clear to the bikers. We used to joke about how bikers are so angry because they can’t afford a car. It just might be true, who knows. Or is it the rush of zooming past a car that drives them for their crazy behaviour? May be. After all, people do all sorts of things to get the high.

To my understanding, that kind of recklessness was limited amongst the younger generation. However, most of these bikers are middle aged, especially the angry ones (Note: I have had this type of experience mostly during rush hour which makes sense because people probably wouldn’t be angry about having to slow down if they weren’t in rush). I got yelled at by angry bikers
