In seconds I was able to convert every file to xls, now the next problem after export the formatted xls to csv, was the conversion to json itself. That I resolve with this web app:

Good luck with your conversions!

I hate the PDF format

Image
The other day I was trying to get a graphical novel from the web but the only format that I found was PDF. In some manner, I was sure it was all that I needed but the PDF format was messing with the images on my Kindle Paper White.  The solution: Extract the images. The problem: PDF.

Step 3 In there is an input box for setting your domain URL including the subdomain www o blog or whatever... after you put it,

Handbrake it's an open-source video transcoder and a lifesaver!  For people that don't have a lot of time for transcoding or don't know a lot about video. I was trying to get working an OGM file on my TV and the format was not recognized by it. It even wasn't visible by Plex that is a great server-client app for organizing video. So I decided to convert those stupid files.  The solution... Handbrake it was like magic!  It let me: Choose the format to convert the files Select various types of files Remove annoying audio tracks on the file Add some subtitles  Force subtitles that were necessary for the video.
