Sorry for the vague title, I didn't know the best way to word it.   The company I work at, has Fax Machines setup as printing devices. The user will fax documents that were created in an accounting software to various remote locations. We want to change this from Fax Machines to email, and we are trying to figure out the easiest way to do this. We brought up Printing to PDF and then going into Outlook and attaching it to an email, but apparently that is too complicated.  So, is there a way we can add a device to the Printer Selections that would email the document, instead of printing it? The accounting software we use, doesn't have the option to email, only the ability to print.

I need a software, that emulates a printer, converts the printed documents to PDF/TIFF and send it via eMail to a specified address (for windows).  The virtual printer / PDF conversion is possible with a lot of PDF-converters. But I need a software, which is also able to directly mail me these PDFs. It's always the same mailaddress, and I have an SMTP server.  Any suggestions?

I really like the way Keynote and MS Office (and also OpenOffice &amp; similar) support a presentation mode that displays the current slide, the next (and maybe previous) slide, the elapsed and current time, and also any notes attached to the slides on one screen and the presentation itself on the beamer/second screen.  It enables me to give good, professional presentations without having to know everything by heart (I suck at that).  I found a , but I am looking for alternatives, especially OS-independent would be great. Not having to create 3 different PDFs is a boon.  Any hints?

Say I have some image files (for instance, the result of scanning some sheets) and I want to combine them into a single pdf file, each image on a different page. Is there a faster / more convenient way than converting each one to a pdf file and then combining those (say, as explained )? Or, if this is more or less how it is to be done, which is the most intelligent and less tedious possible way to do it?

I am running into a situation whereby the default application for opening pdfs was changed to PDF-Xchange instead of Adobe and Mail to Outlook 2010, 2016 instead of the built-in default Microsoft Mail app. These changes were made after retrieving the valid hashes for both applications via Reg Queries and then referencing the respective entries in the App-assoc.xml spec file. This worked on all targeted computers with the exception of one that still resets pdf to adobe acrobat anytime the users logs on again. This means he has to always set his preferred default pdf and mailto apps manually which makes it very cumbersome for since he always reset to preferred default app after every log on.     Has anyone experienced this and would like to share some possible troubleshooting tips? I read somewhere that it could be a rogue application behind the scenes forcing this behaviour.

I use Outlook.com as my email provider but have my own personal domain name instead of the one provided by Microsoft. So, instead of "mail@outlook.com", my email address looks like "mail@personaldomain.com".  I have been trying to somehow configure this email on my Apple Mail client but so far been unsuccessful. I have read several how-to's and tutorials that explain how to configure an outlook.com email on Apple Mail; however, none have explained what to do when you have a private domain running on Outlook.com. Could someone with a similar experience please help me out?  Also, though I will be more than happy to just have my email configured, it would be really great if IMAP were a possibility instead of POP3.

I am running 14.04 and have a HP Deskjet 2545 wireless printer which is supported by Ubuntu. I have run HpLIP, the latest version and installed the printer.  The printer is recognised by Ubuntu, printer and network, but LibreOffice do not see the printer. Only a Generic printer.  I don't know what to do anymore and would like to get some good advice

I'm looking to create a virtual printer that passes data to my .NET application. I want to then create an installer that installs both the printer and the .NET application.  It would we really nice to be able to write it all in C#, but I have a feeling that this will require a printer driver to be written is unmanaged code.  Does anyone know of a fairly clean tutorial or example of how to do this?

I'm creating a custom list for a helpdesk app.  I want the user to fill out a form in sharepoint (2010) and add attachments from screenshots, etc.  The workflow should send an email to our helpdesk system with the files attached.  Using sharepoint designer, i can only say yes there is an attachment, but i can't seem to attach the file to the email.  Any suggestions?

I realize most PDF documents are locked for a reason, but I spend several hours a week editing datasheets provided directly from my vendors to be sent to customers. Obviously it's very annoying and somewhat of a show-stopper when I download a datasheet in PDF format, then I am not able to draw boxes, add comments, or draw arrows to the supplied product.  One of our vendors told us the way around that was to print a physical copy, then scan it in as a PDF - not the most technological or aesthetically pleasing solution I have found.  I at least would like to be able to print the PDF to another PDF so that the new copy is unlocked for editing. Is there any way around this?

I used to print Q&amp;A pages to keep a base of PDFs. I used either the 'print edit' addon or simply the print function of Firefox, which both allow to print a webpage in a file.  Usually the printed file for a webpage extends on 2 or 3 pages. But I'm not able to print more than one page on this site expressly anymore. No matter the method. I just get the top of each discussion.

I typically have two needs:  Scenario A. Change a single PDF page.  In this case I have a PDF but not the original source file used to create the PDF. I don't want to try to recreate the document from scratch. I'd like to open the PDF and change a few things. A good example of this scenario: I was responsible for planning a big event at a campground site, I had a PDF of the site. I wanted to start with that document, highlight some parts, add some labels, remove some parts that weren't relevant.   or   Scenario B. Combine PDFs or extract page(s) from a PDF  This scenario usually arises because I want a single PDF deliverable that is made up of parts that are best created in different programs. In this case I have the source files for all the documents but they don't play well enough together to easily create a single PDF deliverable. For part of it, I may want to use Libre Office Writer. For another page I may want to use Gimp. Still another page I may use Libre Office Calc. I could use Writer as the master document and embed images or the Calc object into that, but for ultimate control, you can't beat separate PDF documents that are then combined.  What are the best tools / processes for editing PDFs in Ubuntu?

I am currently working on a project to create a (not prepaid) postage label.  In java, I would go about doing this by creating a bufferedimage and adding various other images to it to create what I want.  What I want is to put text, converted to an image, onto a template letter, to make a proper postage label.    For example, imagine I was given a document with blank spaces such as:  "Name: _________"  This document is in the form of an image, and I want to use apex and visualforce (the page is already constructed, I am just stuck at the image manipulation part) to add whatever name the user types in onto the image and pack it and email the new image.  The question I have here is: where do I even start?  Java is a little nicer when it comes to image manipulation, as far as I can see.  I've looked into using a web service and sending a soapxml request to return a proper encoded image, but I haven't found a web service that can do this.  Any pointers would be nice. Thanks.

I have recently shared an album of my pictures in an online photography forum and someone contacted me, asking if I can sell them a print, or the digital file for them to print themselves.   I have never sold any prints before and at the moment, I don't have time to spend on that; also I don't have any calibration tools for my monitor or any experience in high quality printing, and I don't want to half-ass that, so I don't want to sell a print right now. However, I'd be fine with selling the digital file so that person can print the photo. But I have no idea how to price a digital file, and what exactly I should give out.  Do you normally just send out a high-quality JPG? Or the RAW file along with the XMP file containing my edits? (I edited the picture in Lightroom) If I should go with JPG, do I just send out the full size (6000x4000) or ask them what size they want to print it in and send an appropriatly downsized version? And how do I determine an approriate price for that? What are the relevant factors?  I've read online that I should factor in the image size as well as the editing time. I don't know how long I spent on it, probably less than 10 minutes. I'm just not sure how to approach this, any price I could come up with somehow feels ... random. Some insights are appreciated!

The title tells you all, except that it's about sharing printers.   How do I connect to a shared printer on the network through CUPS or terminal?

There are lots of websites which only allow signing in with email address and password and I am tired of typing a long email address. I don't want my browser to remember my email. Can I assign a keyboard shortcut to print this email address so that every time I press the key I get my email address on current text field?   I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and I have very little knowledge about Ubuntu. I'm not talking about snippets. Just a defined text to paste when the key is pressed.

Is there any alternative to LibreOffice? It seems to unfamiliar to MS office users.  I found while running certain presentations in .ppt or .pptx it is not fully compatible.
