How to convert a PDF file into an editable text document

-

A Portable Document Format(PDF) is a kind of file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware or Operating System. It often comes in handy when you want a piece of information to be available to a number of recipients in the exact same way, however they are quite difficult to edit.

Today we'll be talking about how to convert a PDF file into an editable text document. You'll very often have no other option but to browse various sites and use all sorts of tools to edit your document if you don't have the full version of Adobe Acrobat, i.e. if you haven't bought one, it will be very tough to edit your document. The easiest of all these methods is, using Google Docs.

If you have your PDF file ready, open Google Drive in any browser and log in with your Google account. 
Upload your PDF file from your local files by clicking on NEW on the left, then File upload. Select the PDF you want to upload and wait for it to upload to Google’s server.
Once the file is uploaded on the drive, right-click (or long-tap for mobile) the item in Drive’s main view. Select Open with, and then click Google Docs. Now the PDF document will open in a new browser tab in the Google Docs interface.
From here you can edit any of the text in the PDF document as if it were a standard word processor file. some of the formatting may be a bit off due to Docs’ interpretation of the images and spacing in the PDF file, but all of the formatted text should be visible and editable

If it’s a larger file, Docs will even create an automatic outline separated into pages.
You can edit any of the text in this window and save your work online in Google Docs for later. If you want to have a standard document file for an offline word processor, click File, then Download as. Here you can choose from Docx, ODT, TXT, RTF, and other formats, so you can open them in Microsoft Office (or your word processor of choice).
Click on the one you want, and it will immediately be downloaded to your default desktop or phone folder. That’s it! You now have a saved, editable copy of your original PDF, compatible with any word processor.

Why should you Disable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on your Network and How

In less than twenty years, Wi-Fi has grown from being an amazing and quite expensive luxury to a common inclusion in every device you own. After all this, there’s still plenty of room for improvement…which is why you should consider disabling the old 2.4GHz band on your home’s Wi-Fi network and using the newer, faster, less crowded 5GHz band exclusively. The Standard is now 5 GHz Most modern routers are dual band , which means that they contain the ability to broadcast on both of these bands. It's quite possible that if you purchased your Wi-Fi router or compatible device in the last five years, it will support 5GHz networks—and in fact, if it’s an  802.11ac router , the 5GHz band is a must for that super-fast connection. Only super-cheap gadgets released in the last few years, like some of the e-ink Amazon Kindles or budget Android tablets, lack support for N or AC 5GHz connections. Not only are 5GHz and 802.11ac devices easy to come by, they’re getting af
