However, one thing we currently use PDF for is preparing electronic payslips, for which we use a custom, small page size, and this wasn’t working with the Microsoft implementation. It would be good if I didn’t need to install Acrobat any more, as it’s expensive, uses a lot of disk space, and is one more thing you have to keep up to date with security patches. I use PDF a lot, for delivering clean versions of reports to clients and distributing presentation notes, so I was pleased to see Microsoft have built PDF creation in to Windows 10. I’ve been setting up a new office PC with Windows 10 (while checking out the security and privacy settings, which have been well covered elsewhere). Briefly, the Windows 10 Print to PDF support doesn’t allow custom page sizes as it comes, but there is a simple way to enable it. (Example: port~1 matches fort, post, or potr, and other instances where one correction leads to a match.I don’t usually post Windows tips and tricks, but I thought this might be useful as I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else. To use fuzzy searching to account for misspellings, follow the term with ~ and a positive number for the number of corrections to be made.(Example: shortcut^10 group gives shortcut 10 times the weight as group.) Follow the term with ^ and a positive number that indicates the weight given that term. For multi-term searches, you can specify a priority for terms in your search.(Example: title:configuration finds the topic titled “Changing the software configuration.”) Type title: at the beginning of the search phrase to look only for topic titles.(Example: inst* finds installation and instructions.) The wildcard can be used anywhere in a search term. Use * as a wildcard for missing characters.(Example: user +shortcut –group finds shortcut and user shortcut, but not group or user group.) Type + in front of words that must be included in the search or - in front of words to exclude.To refine the search, you can use the following operators: The results appear in order of relevance, based on how many search terms occur per topic. The search also uses fuzzy matching to account for partial words (such as install and installs). If you type more than one term, an OR is assumed, which returns topics where any of the terms are found.

The search returns topics that contain terms you enter.
