Remove pages from a pdf

By
Let's say we want to remove the first page of a bunch pdf files. Or there is one particular page that needs t be removed. Or the pages needs to be rearranged. There is no need for professional software for this like Adobe pro. A simple program called pdftk can do the job.

Let us say that we want to remove just the first page from the pdf. The following command does the trick.

pdftk file.pdf cat 2-end output newfile.pdf

More complicated page rearrangement can be done too. Say we want pages 3-5 after page 18.

First we save pages 3-5 in file temp2.pdf. Then cut out those pages and save the file in temp.pdf. Now the page 18 is page 15 since we have removed 3 pages from the original file. So we get pages 1-15 in one file and the rest in another. We can then join 1-15 + 3-5 + 16-end and voilà.

pdftk file.pdf cat 3-5 output temp2.pdf
pdftk file.pdf cat 1-2 6-end output temp.pdf
pdftk temp.pdf cat 1-15 output temp1.pdf
pdftk temp.pdf cat 16-end output temp3.pdf
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf temp1.pdf temp2.pdf temp3.pdf

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

By
People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last...

Changing the font size of section headings in LaTex

By
You have several ways to do so: 1.- A direct redefinition of \section: \makeatletter \renewcommand\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{\z@}%                                   {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%                                   {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%                                   {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother 2.- By means of the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} \titleformat{\section}{\large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{} 3.- By means of the sectsty package: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\large} source : http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3245   Now, I would explain the titlesec package a bit more (because it seems easier to me and...
