• Hey at last u got ur file converted - congrats for your first conversion - As per Mr.Kaustuv's recommendation inturn this software can also be used as an alternative to pdf995 its called pdffactory and you can obtain this software by clicking on the following link-- Thanks Mr.Kaustuv

Recommended, compiled and contributed by Mr.Krishnan V I would like to add something which I had already mentioned in another forum. " I am sure all of you are aware that the Annual efiling documents can be filed by just typing "Sd./-" ( with the Individuals name below it) in the basic electronic document (word/excel etc.,) and then converting these to pdf for attaching to Forms 23AC/ACA for uploading. This greatly reduces the attachment sizes as compared to a printed, signed and then scanned document. However many people prefer scanning and attaching the accounts because, most often the Audit Report, Directors' Report etc., are in a word processor format and the Accounts are in a spreadsheet format and it is dfiicult to sort the pages, arrange and merge them into a single pdf document for attaching to Form 23AC/ACA unless one had the very costly Adobe Acrobat software installed or use the old commandline free program 'pdftk' (which is difficult and cumbersome to use). Now there is a free windows alternative- "PDFill PDF Tools Free" (5.3Mb) .This program can not only create PDFs but also reorder the pages/extract/merge etc., PDF Files. If you have the Audit Report, Notice of AGM and Directors Report in say, MS Word format and the Balance Sheet, Schedules,Part IV in MS Excel format, you can write 'Sd./-" in the signature places on these files against the relevant persons name, extract these documents separately as PDF files, rearrange the pages in the resultant pdf files in the way you want and then merge the pdf files for attaching to the relevant MCA Form. No fiddling with scanner and adjusting resolutions. (You can even add your firm's name as a watermark across the page in your audit report with this tool- :-) ). The software is free for personal or commercial use and freely distributable.

Notes:

• The program comes with a PDF Editor which is payware and puts the Company's name in any document edited with this editor, if not registered. But it is optional to use this editor and need not be used for the free tools to work.The "PDFill PDF Tools Free"software itself is advertisement free.
• The program requires ghostscript to be installed for it to work. If you already use any pdf printer driver, you probaly have ghostscript already installed. Can be easily checked through control panel>add/remove prgrams for ghostscript installation. The latest ghsotscript version is 8.54 and available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1897 The file you will require is gs854w32.exe (about 12.3Mb) under "AFPL Ghostscript". Install the fonts too.If you have an earlier version of ghostscript installed, you can uninstall that version and install the newer version.
• The program requires 'Adobe Reader' and 'Sun Jave JRE/MSJVM" to be already installed. I assume all the readers will already be having these.
• The program is available for W98Se as an executable and for W2K/XP as a installer file. Make sure you have windows installer 2.0 or later (Most people will already have this - you can check with add/remove programs list).
• If you already use any other pdf printer driver driver like 'cutepdf' or "primopdf' or "pdf creator", you can always uninstall them if you find this program useful. (Open printers in control panel, right click the unwanted pdf printer driver and choose 'uninstall')
• Do not be tempted to make use of this program and upload the files before you take the physical signatures in your copy. Make sure you really have the signed copy before uploading." As for 'ccleaner", the slim version is more than enough. This is a feature rich program with registry cleaner too, uninstaller etc., Just choose the custom install and set it to just open when double clicking. Also remember to turn off auto updates (Personally I uncheck 'autoupdates' in all programs I install..including adobe reader, JRE, IE etc.,). Contributed By Mr.Krishnan V
