I wanted to create 2 additional 1099s but was unable to find that option so closed and requested it be sent to IRS. Now I know I should have selected "template" but have not been able to get that to work. Made another, and no option to send to IRS

A 77-year-old Australian has tried to find a way of converting a PDF to Word. He only uses Word at 77 years old. He also suggested that he should update his MS Office 2007 to Office 365. I have decided to do that, so now I will be able to play around with Office 365 until I am almost 78.

Filing has extracted text data from tens of thousands of PDF documents. The main problem is that PDF was never really designed as a data input format, but rather as an output format giving fine-grained control over the resulting document. At its core, the PDF format consists of a stream of instructions describing how to draw on a page. In particular, text data isn't stored as paragraphs — or even words — but as characters which are painted at certain locations on the page.

Portable document format, or PDF, is the digital equivalent to handing someone a physical piece of paper. PDFs almost always include text, but they can also feature images and hyperlinks. Attaching a PDF to a text is just another way to transition your business services to a mobile-based market.
