Those lovely people at Panic software have put together a utility to batch shrink vector-based PDF files, such as those produced by Illustrator, on the fly.

In Snow Leopard, when opening Freehand files, the app crashes. The fix is to use the Freehand Clip Art Viewer, which is located in the application’s own folder. If you browse the hard drive with this utility, then you will see thumbnails of your files — simply double-click on them to open. Adobe tech support were of no help at all, as...

Expensive software like Photoshop is not necessary to resize large groups of pictures all at once. Mac OS X’s Preview application gets the job done just as easily for free! Resizing a bunch of images can be a tedious and time consuming task when done manually, one-by-one. Sometimes it’s just plain impossible. That is, after all, why...

Even though the new Adobe CS5 graphics/design suite is out, a lot of us haven’t updated yet to the new version. But of course some clients are shipping their new logo in EPS or Illustrator format created with the new version. And if you still have only the older (CS4) version of Illustrator you can’t open them. Here is a workaround for...
I used exiftool for batch removal of keywords for a long time, but recently it stopped working. I could still overwrite keywords, but as soon as I deleted the keyword, the old ones were back. After examining the binary files directly, I found out that at least Aperture writes the keywords as XMP Subject , and that Preview falls back to XMP Subject...

As a university teacher, I often get to read new versions of student essays, and I want to be able to quickly see what changes there are from the old version. Here’s how to use the FileMerge application (included in the Xcode developer tools ) to view PDF files. In addition, you’ll also need the command line utility pdftotext , which...

This is a way to access the graphics inside a PowerPoint presentation or Word document, without being resaved or resampled. I use this method when the author cannot locate the original files, but wishes to extract an image. This is for use with the XML based Office document formats (.pptx, .docx), and not the older style (.ppt, .doc) files. Drag...

FileMerge (included with the Xcode developer tools ) is a great tool for comparing different versions of text files (and PDF files, as I showed in a previous hint ). But it wants the files to be Mac-Roman encoded, which is strange since everything else on a Mac uses UTF-8 nowadays. Here’s how to show different file encodings in FileMerge. This...

If you use iWork extensively, you may frequently face the need to convert your iWork files into either Microsoft Office or PDF files to share with colleagues, either via email or by posting to a website. It’s tedious to have to convert them one-by-one, so I put together two droplet scripts to automate the process. They will convert Pages to...

If you’ve been using your Mac for months before deciding you need a Boot Camp partition, you may find it’s too late. When you run the Boot Camp Assistant, it may tell you that you have too many ‘large files’ on the system for Boot Camp to create a partition. One solution found on the interwebs is to use iDefrag to defrag your...

If you’re like me, you hate paying for software that does things that you think your computer should be able to do for free. One day after I got Snow Leopard, I really need to trim a music file for my phone, to create a ringtone. I knew Quicktime X could trim movie files, but I didn’t know about music files. So I opened the music file...
