Is installing another RAM from a different brand problematic?

My motherboard only support DDR3 RAM and I only have one DDR3 4GB RAM.

First, you can insert the entire pdf your working on, and then rearrange it. ( ie multiple copy ) or,

second use PDF Arranger.. it can do some pretty cool things.
i meant copying texts from the PDF document and not the document itself

Re: what is a good PDF reader on linux?


Both are available for linux, however as I recall the Adobe reader is like on windows - only a few things can be done.

I personally thin the free version of Master PDF editor (version 4) is the best that I have encountered, but there are quite a few out there. And there are other tools that can ...

Adobe acrobat reader and Foxit pdf reader. And they do not have any of these issues even on the free edition.

Re: conky theme not showing transparent background [Solved]


Final tip: cut and paste the 3 lines relating the bg images to the end of the conky text (but before the "]]" close brackets). Don't leave any empty lines at the spots where you cut and where you paste the 3 lines.


following this tip made it look a bit more whiteish. but by making draw blended ...

Re: software recommendation for annotating pictures? [Solved]


Hi,

I use Ksnip (not a KDE specific piece of software).

It's a screenshot tool, but can be used to open and add to normal picture files.

See here: https://imgur.com/yd4dhmz . This is a screenshot that I've put a few examples into. It'll do the same with jpg etc...

Richard.


thx it works ...

However I can ...
