Re: I need a good boffin.
Id suggest putting it in google docs and export it as a pdf.
There's also various free options like this

https://pdf.wondershare.com/how-to/conv ... PDF%20file.
Or

Re: I need a good boffin.
The HiPDF link looked pretty legit and straightforward. I see Rev posted the same wondershare link, so if Heston posts tomorrow asking for help with computer viruses, let's blame Rev.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 6:47pmWhoops.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Oh no, the free stuff where you upload things for translation or format change, that's safe enough. I've dl'd Wondershare apps before, tho, and they're both clunky and expensive.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 7:12pmThe HiPDF link looked pretty legit and straightforward.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Yeah, this one should be safe enough.

Re: I need a good boffin.
**Edit** Just saw revbob posted something similar, as well as Kimmelweck, all good options.
When we were using W7 we used this free program, PDF Redirect. It installs a printer drop down option very similar to the W10.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Thanks chaps, I'll run through some of these options today while you fight some boffin wars.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: I need a good boffin.
So my school's IT has introduced a new set of security protocols for mobile devices. Basically another round of PIN entry in case your phone or tablet is stolen. However, for it to work, you need to switch your email client to Outlook. In other words, you won't be able to access your university account if you rely on non-Microsoft products. Like Apple's Mail app. The whole thing smells to me like Microsoft forcing its clients to switch to all their products. If someone steals my phone and can break my first PIN to get in, it seems reasonable to think that they'll be able to break the next PIN (which for most people is likely going to be the same six-digit code) to access Outlook or Word or whatever. The Boss and I have already taken the "temporary" opt out and I've said that unless they let me use the apps of my preference—i.e., Mail—I just won't be getting university mail on my mobile devices (and isn't that a good and productive thing). Never thought I'd say this, but I hope some asshole law prof decides to get on their high horse about this.
More amusing, I got my official acknowledgement this morning: They want us to jump thru their hoops of quality control and yet their auto-response includes that?

I'd respond with something like "well, I can do it but I'm already PRETTY SECURE since all my passwords are "password" and my pins are all "1234" so I don't see what good any of this does."Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Mar 2023, 11:51amSo my school's IT has introduced a new set of security protocols for mobile devices.
