How-to: Convert Your Word Document to a PDF File

By VJ
Adobe’s PDF is a highly popular document format. Portability and printability are two of the most important aspects of PDF that make it popular. In this short article, let me explain to you how you can convert a Word document, created with Microsoft Word (any version) into the PDF format.

Step 1: First of all, download and install an application called SodaPDF. This is the best PDF creation software in the world. It can not only convert documents from Word format, but also from almost three hundred other formats, including HTML, PPT, RTF, TXT, etc.

Step 2: Open SodaPDF application, and click on the top, ‘Create and Convert’ tab. Here you have several different options to create PDF documents from. The option you need to select here is ‘Create from Any File’.

Step 3: Browse to the document that you want to convert. You can browse any of those three hundred formats, which include the Word documents as well. All different versions of MS Word are supported by SodaPDF, and hence it is pretty easy.

SodaPDF retains the exact formatting, fonts, styles, etc., of the Word document unlike some other applications. Hence, you will be able to get the document converted exactly as you want it. With the help of the editor, you can further add content to the document or simply print it out as such.

With this application, you can do almost everything involving PDF documents. You can convert a PDF document into Word format or one of the other many supported formats; you can secure the document with digital signature; and you can use the OCR function to convert an image that involves text into actual text in a PDF file.

What Is the Role of a Firewall, and How Does It Secure a Network From Unsafe Traffic?

By VJ
To understand firewalls, basic understanding of how networks function is requisite. Deep down, how do the packets of information that you send reach the intended receivers? How do the messages intended for you reach you safely? And how does it all function like clockwork? Let’s understand the basics of firewalls and see how a firewall secures the traffic in and out of a network. Consider this scenario for getting an understanding of how firewalls work. Say, you open up your browser to book a flight ticket for your upcoming vacation, and your computer is conveniently insecure without a firewall. Let’s say you come across an intriguing email that gives an offer you can’t refuse. You open the email and click a link, and bam! An unwanted piece of spyware is installed on your system. The spyware then proceeds to sit on your system tray, hidden from your eyes, tracking the keystrokes you make, reading the top-secret files you have, and looking for potentially rewarding information, such...

Digital Marketing Done Properly in the New Age

By VJ
I suppose it’s coincidence that this post appears almost exactly one year after Blue Bugle went sort of inactive. Today, the blog doesn’t enjoy as many readers as it once used to. This unfortunate thing is due to my hectic schedule in my new day job as senior content writer for an organization called MSys. This job gives me more opportunities to explore the separate aspects of the digital marketing domain. In the past, all we used to do was promoting our blog posts through social media at random thereby trying to gather as many visitors as possible. You never studied the prospects, the market, or the social channels you promote your stuff to.  Most of the SEO companies out there prided themselves in creating spammy blog comments to create links to client websites. Needless to say, most of these plans never worked or had less positive impact. Now, if you follow the same spammy activities, you are sure to get a ban at best. I had to come up with a new marketing plan for MSys th...
