Adobe Acrobat : Lacks Reverse Engg

All those surf have come across a pdf file somewhere on the net. We as an engg students always come across the engg material provided in a pdf file due to its structure - a pdf file does not require additional fonts, its formating does not change from PC to PC.
But did you come across some files when you cannot copy contents from the files? (I'm not talking about the secured/locked files.)

So how does it works? Why doesn't it require those fonts used in it to be installed?
Well, the Acrobat Writer adds the fonts to the file- so the pdf file carries the fonts used in it!

But, here is a problem again.....This makes the file bulky...So what to do?
The Writer thus uses a technique called 'Subsetting the fonts'! What it actually does is - it includes only those characters which are used e.g. if I have used "Space Age" font to only write "Hello" then only H,e,l and o are included in the file.....This reduces the file size.....


The biggest problem arrives here! if you try to copy the contents of such file in another file, you will notice that the copied contents doesn't make any sense - its all garbage!


And on top of that - After searching for at least 3-4 months on net - I came to know that - YOU CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO GET THE CONTENTS!!!!!

Thats ridicules!!! You can not reverse the process!!!!!!!



(BTW, there is a way to get contents of such files - Use OCR "FineReader" - its not a efficient way but at least you get what you want!!)

Five Point Someone!

Wow! What a book..............I just finished the book "Five Point Someone" by Chetan Bhagwat.
It really is a good book to read, specially those who are still enjoying their college days.

At the end, I felt something....and thats why the blog...
As most of my class-mates will tell you how good I'm..(Well-mannered and all that) but its really the most boring role in the world. I felt the same urge that Hari or Alok felt when they started the 'exciting' four years of their life at IIT. All those Bad things are always there inside... starting from bunking the lectures to .................
I think, all boys think the same way, But..
The difference is always there....Even tho' the natural urge is same, there are those barricades of "Moral" that some one learns in his/her childhood that keeps those Bad thoughts aways....

The second point it made is-THE MANTRA FOR LIFE....
FRIENDS are the most crucial characters in this canvas of life. The last two years of Engg has taught me the importance of friends.....


Well, this is my first blog and I have already started lecturing.......But then there are some things you cannot keep in your mind..Its always better to let them flow.......


So, Thats it.......until then KEEP SMILING!!!!!!1
