, downloadable sweden travel pdf at end I went to check on my blogs yesterday. I still get quite a bit of traffic to my Travels in C Minor blog, even though I deleted all the posts. So, I had an idea to create a pdf of some old posts and put it on the blog. So people can get something. I mean why not? It's easy enough. Well, not quite. Issues The first issue was merging the 14 selected files. Seems simple. It’s not. Many programs - paid and free - do not do this function, but often you have to install them on your computer to find out. Which takes a while. Believe it or not, I could not find one reasonably priced program that merged as well as edited a pdf file. A Somewhat Solution The solution I came to in the end was using SmallPDF program. It merges nicely but doesn’t edit the pdf and is free for 5 days. 1. First I merged in SmallPDF. 2. Then the merged file was converted into a word document, (which SmallPDF can do well). 3. Then the merged word document was uploaded to Google Docs. 4. The file was edited in Google Docs. 5. After finishing editing, the file was converted back into PDF format and then downloaded. Shivers. Yes it's long winded. As someone I know well says - the overwhelming complexity of modern life. Google docs is a seriously good program that made editing easy. (And I'm talking major formatting errors that are very difficult to fix in other programs.) And it’s free. I tested 3 other costly programs and the editing in them was so complicated compared to Google Docs. I wanted simple. Link to Sweden travel pdf below There’s a link below to the pdf I created, if you’re interested in checking it out. It’s a small collection of posts about travel (and other things) in Sweden. From quite a while ago now. There’s some nice photos but it was the beginning of my photography journey so the horizon line can be a bit all over the place. And the punctuation...is creative...and the formatting's not perfect but... they're great memories.
