It’s sometimes taken for granted that the default.docx format can be used by all. Simply clicking on the Save icon, or pinky-middle fingering CTRL + S on the keyboard comes naturally and on instinct.

However, without the Office 2007 plug-in or viewer, you’re at a loss for opening, editing—or heck, even simply viewing, a .docx file on the fly. A real problem indeed if you’re at a public computer or on the go with a mobile device.

Well, no need to look any further for a solution because we’ve been hard at work and have developed a fully functional .Docx to .Doc converter. 

Aspiring webmasters beware. . . .Creating your own website can be appealing, but it’s also a major undertaking.  Having done some preliminary research, you may have already learned that maintaining it alone can be difficult.

Yet, never fear—there are efficient ways of doing it.

Wordpress is one of the major blogging platforms online. This is because Wordpress is not only free, but it can also be catered to the individual needs of its users.

As a result of continuous efforts of the large community of Wordpress developers, there is a huge collection of Wordpress plugins from which you can choose and embed on your blog.  You can customize your own personal space according to your own personal taste.

Moreover, Wordpress developers have created many plugins that can also take advantage and integrate the features of other digital documents, like the PDF, right on your blog. If you’re looking for some handy PDF plugins, here they are.

Let’s have a look at the top 10 PDF plugins for Wordpress blogs.

Security issues are at the center of tech news this week.

First, great news for Adobe Reader and Acrobat users everywhere: security patches for the vulnerabilities that surfaced near the end of 2009 is now available.

Looking to keep up with PDFs in 2010?

With the speed at which documents are making their way online— file hosts, document search engines, online processing, and real-time collaboration, you might want to get your PDFs browser-friendly. 

Admittedly, the PDF format isn’t well received when it comes to viewing it in a browser.  Download times, a heavy GUI, and an overly long scrolling document are the top 3 turn-offs users are looking to avoid. If you need a quick solution to any one of these, here’s a neat tool that’ll take your PDFs and turn them into viewer-friendly file.

Unfortunately, it looks like there’s bad news for PDF users over the holidays.

After patching 7 vulnerabilities for its Flash Player on December 8^th, Adobe still has 2 more exploitable vulnerabilities affecting its software line.

It’s that time again. Every year, from around late November to the end of December, I usually start getting that “rushed” feeling where everything gets busier.  

You’re trying to fit in some extra Christmas shopping on your lunch break, trying to research the perfect itinerary for your upcoming holiday, or scheduling family events around the city.  

So I usually find that a speedlinking post is the best way to get readers—and myself, updated on the PDF world in one quick go.  I’ve come across a few noteworthy PDF-related links which I think can summarize the past few weeks quite well.    

Last year, PDF search engines were just breaking ground on the Internet.  Back then, we were only able to find and review 3 PDF search engines—and all three were in beta. Needless to say, you couldn't be particular about your tools or your search habits when there wasn't much to choose from.

Fortunately, more than a year later, that has changed. Thanks to the continued development of online document management, essential tools, like document search engines, are gaining ground.

Now you can find more than just 3 PDF search engines.  Here are a few more that we reviewed to add to the list.
