You don’t need to be an expert graphic designer in order to compress the size of a Pdf file. Guys with basic knowledge will also be able to do it. All you need to do is simply follow these steps

Once you are done make sure you adjust the quality while saving the file. Refer above image if you can’t find the option.

Reduce the size while you save the file in MS word

Instead of going through all these hardships of reducing the size of a PDF file. You can simply save the file in minimum size. This will cut down your efforts of compressing a file. While you save your document into PDF in MS word simply follow these steps

There are a lot of online tools that promise to reduce the size of a pdf file but most of them will end in decreasing the quality. Just google them you can find a lot of tools online.

Reducing the size of a PDF file is not a time consuming process. All you need to have is a good data plan. You need to upload the file into the portal and they will convert for you. But the data might saved into their servers. That’s why I won’t prefer the online tools when it comes to privacy.

How to remove personal data from the internet

May 31, 2020 by admin

Hello guys, today I am back with one more interesting topic on how to remove personal data from the internet. This guide will be helpful for those who get annoyed with the online marketing calls and emails that try to sell some unwanted stuff. If you are reading this guide you might be looking to go private instead of public. Without wasting any time let’s get to know about it.

1. Make your Social accounts private else delete

Before we start, the first thing we have to do is to make our social accounts private. Data like mobile number and email are easily accessible if your profile is public. Companies, data brokers collect data of a person mostly by the use of scraping technique. They simply scrape the profiles with the use of some data scraping tools as well as manual collection. These tools will fetch details like Name, Email, profile pic, address from the profiles.

If you make your social account private there is a less chance for these tools to gather data. Even if humans are employed to collect data they will fail to collect. In case if you are using Facebook here’s a guide I wrote earlier on How to lock your Facebook profile. You can simply follow this guide to make your profile private. If you think your data is still getting accessed then simply delete that profile in case if you want to go private.

2. How to remove personal data on blogs and websites

While most of the blogs won’t publicize their user database but in case of a data breach by a fraudster, your details will get public. Any sensitive information like Name, email, address, Credit card and bank account details will be sold online. In such a case, you need to contact the webmaster and ask him to delete your sensitive information after a sale or purchase from that website.

Also don’t save a credit card in the shopping websites. You can take legal action against the owner of the website if he refuses to delete your details. If you have participated in an online survey program or entered your personal information in a data collection site then opt-out from it.

In case if you own a blog or website and want to go private then you have to delete that blog or website. I think bloggers and website owners know better than me. If you are unsure whether your details are online or not you can verify by simply doing a quick name search in the websites like Spokeo and people finder.

3. Remove personal image from internet

If your image is available online you can contact the webmaster of that particular website where your image was published. In case if the publisher doesn’t remove the image you can file a case against him. Google is the most used search engine worldwide. If you find your image in the search results you can contact google and urge them to take down the image from the search results.

Also, copy the URL of the image link and then contact Google and ask them to remove the image. Google will surely help you if show the legal copy which you have filed against the publisher. You can find more information on the google support page. Google will take down the image for sure.

4. Accept cookies only if required

Companies use cookies to collect user information and monitor their behaviour online. With the help of browsing history, the user intent and his behaviour can be guessed. If you are looking to buy a product online, ads regarding the product from different brands will pop up. This is possible with the help of cookies. These cookies will be active for 1 minute, 24 hours and even 30 days.

Fraudsters will also make use of these cookies to gather your personal information and other financial details. They will do whatever they want in order to get some bucks. They can even sell your data to others. Make sure that you accept cookies from the trusted sites only.

5. Don’t install apps from unknown sources

If you are a mobile user make sure you don’t install apps from unknown sources. Once after you install an app it will ask you to allow for the access to your contacts, photos and much more. Always try to install apps from known and trusted sources.

Mobile phones usually won’t allow installation of apps from unknown sources. There is an option where you have to enable installation from unknown sources. I suggest you refrain turning this option ON.

Final Word

Someone said it and said it right. Prevention is better than cure. In order to remove personal data from the internet, first of all, you should not share your data on the internet. Use VPN and incognito mode in order to protect your privacy. Install internet security and anti-virus software on your PC and Tablet.

If you don’t want to all this hectic process of removing personal information from the internet you can hire an agency. There are many agencies that remove personal data from the internet on behalf of you. They will charge some bucks and your work will be done.

If you got any problem, queries or suggestions do let me know in the comments section below. I will get back to you as soon as possible. If any of your friend or relative doesn’t know how to remove personal data from the internet or in need then simply share this article with them sharing is caring.

Windows photo viewer can’t display this picture issues solved.

May 28, 2020 by admin

Hello guys, today in this post I am gonna write about different types of windows photo viewer can’t display this picture issues. In case if you are not able to open the Image files and they start throwing this error. You can simply follow this guide to rectify the issue. Simply follow this guide till the end and make sure you fix the issue in your PC.

1. Windows photo viewer can’t display this picture because there may not be enough memory available

  1. If you get this error message while you click on an image file then simply follow these steps
  • Click Start > Control Panel > Control Panel Items > Display > Screen Resolution >Click advanced settings.
  • Click Color management, under devices tick use my settings and delete the color profile associated with the device.

In case if you have two displays select the right one and then follow these steps

  • Right Click on desktop > screen resolution > advanced settings > color management > color management > and choose the right display and then delete the profile associated with this device

In case if you don’t have any colour profile then simply tick the “use my settings” checkbox and then add an RGB Color profile. The ones that are required will not get removed.

2. Another solution is to check the C drive or any other drive where you have installed windows make sure it has enough space in it. Delete all the unnecessary files that are present in the drive and free up enough space.

2. When you don’t have the correct permissions to access the file location

If you are getting this issue then simply follow these steps

  • Right click on the image which does not gets opened and displays error
  • Under the properties click on Security tab
  • Click on Administrators, click on the admin account on your PC
  • A new advanced security settings window will open under which check for the type if access is denied then you have to enable the access.
  • You can do it by click on the admin account and enable full control by checking all the boxes.
  • Once after you are done checking the boxes make sure you click the apply button

Now try opening the file it will open now. The reason for this error is the denial of permissions to open the file.

3. When the file appears to be damaged, corrupted and is too large.

If you are getting this sort of error message then it is obvious that the files are corrupted. Some of you might face this error and for those who get it simply repair the files by using any image repair tools.

In case of damage, corrupt images you can use JPEG Repair Toolkit. The trial version of this toolkit also serves our purpose. All you need to do is simply download this from google and start repairing the images. You can also go for some online tools which promise to repair corrupted images. Here I have linked one site. I haven’t personally used these tools. It’s up to you whether to go with an online or offline tool.

4. When it doesn’t support the file format, or you don’t have the latest updates to photo viewer

In case of this error you have to change the file format. If your file is in Jpeg format and you are getting this error then simply convert to any other format like PNG, TIFF, Bitmap etc. This is will solve the issue.

Also, make sure that your windows photo viewer is up to date. You can check for any updates by simply following these steps

Windows photo viewer can't display this picture issues
  • Click on start and then choose Settings
  • Under settings select Update & Security and click on windows update
  • Select check for updates
  • Also, check the box next to the windows photo viewer and click install updates.
  • Restart your Pc once you are done with the updates.

This is how you can solve when Windows photo viewer can’t open a picture because Photo Viewer either doesn’t support this file format, or you don’t have the latest updates to photo viewer

5.windows photo viewer can’t open this picture because the picture is being edited in another program

This error will appear in case if there is any conflict with other photo editing software. All you need to check whether the picture is being used in any other software and then close it. Softwares like mobile phone suites will conflict with the windows photo viewer hence resulting in this error.

Common solution:

If you are facing any of these errors while opening a picture then simply try with any other photo viewer software. I got Adobe Photoshop software installed on my PC. I use it whenever I get such errors. In case if the saved files from adobe Photoshop displays the same error then simply take a screenshot while the picture is open in the Photoshop software.
