4 Steps On How To Upload a PDF File to Facebook

A portable document format (PDF) file is an effective way to share information because it is viewable in most operating systems; coupled with the social networking capabilities of Facebook, a PDF can reach a much larger audience. Whether you want to display a document that is related to your page's focus, or you want to promote an event that your friends would enjoy, you can upload your own PDF file to your Facebook page using the tools in your Facebook account.
>> Instructions
1
Place your PDF file on a Web host to make it viewable on the Web. Check with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see if the company offers free hosting space, or use an online resource like FreePDFHosting or KeepandShare. Follow the provider's specific instructions for adding your document to the server and then record the location of the PDF so that you can properly link it. For example, a URL address for a PDF might look as follows: http://www.webhost.com/documents/ file.pdf
2
Log in to your Facebook account and then choose the area, such as "News Feed" or "Wall," where you want to upload the PDF file.
3
Click the "Link" icon underneath the text field and enter the address of your PDF from Step 1. Click the "Attach" button when done.
4
Type in an accompanying message in the text field above and click the "Share" button. Your PDF file now appears as a link and allows a visitor to view your file when she clicks on it.

How to install BBM on unsupported Android devices

Last week the BBM app was officially released on the Play Store, but to the surprise of many, some Android devices running on Android 3.5 downward especially tablets with more than 7 inches still couldn’t install the BBM app.
My samsung galaxy Y pro with a 2.3.6 Android OS version wasn’t able to install the BBM app. So I thought to myself “why not?”, if other Android devices can install this app, mine will too.

So without wasting much time, let me show you how to install BBM on unsupported Android devices.
If you have an Android device running on 2.3 Gingerbread you can try this method and share your result with me via the comments.
>> How to install BBM on unsupported Android devices:
This method requires you to have a root access on your Android device, so if you haven’t rooted your device, I will recommend you hit the Google search for how to root your specific devices.
Then download an app you can use to spoof our device so that Google will think it’s compatible and let you download the BBM app or any other app you haven’t been able to download before just because your device was listed as unsupported.
Download "MarketHelper" and install this app on your Android device.
Launch the just installed MarketHelper app. Under “ Select Device” choose phone from the drop down and select any of the phone models by the side, in my case I chose the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Under “ Select Operator” choose your country from the drop down and select your network provider by the side. Then click on the “ Activate” button. After that restart your device and visit the Google play store and download the BBM app on your device.
You will notice that Google will list your app as any phone you choose on the MarketHelper, so you can download and install the BBM app on your unsupported device. Thanks for reading....remain bless.

How to Connect Laptop to a Television Screen

Sesh wants to watch YouTube videos and web
photos on his large TV screen and is wondering
if there’s an easy way to connect the laptop
computer to the TV.

Well, there are several ways to connect your
computer to a Television depending on what
ports are available on your PC and your TV (we
used an HP Windows computer and a Sony
Bravia HDTV for this example).

»How to Connect Laptop to TV – Step by Step

Step 1: Most computers have an S-Video port
that can be connected to the S-Video input of
your TV screen using a very cheap S-Video cable
(this cable is round with 4 or 7 pins). If you
have an older monitor, you can use the 15-pin
VGA cable to connect the computer to the TV
and it will offer better picture quality than the
S-Video cable.
The newer HDTVs and laptop computers have
DVI ports so a DVI Male to Male Cable or DVI to
HDMI Adapter Cable can be used to hook the
computer display and the TV. The DVI to HDMI
cable can be used when your HDTV doesn’t have
an DVI port but does have an HDMI port.
Connect the Audio RCA Cable for Sound

Step 2: Now that you have connected the
computer to the TV using a physical cable, you
need another cable to transmit the sound as all
the above cables only transmit the video but not
the audio part.
You need a 3.5mm Mini Plug to RCA Cable
Stereo to connect the audio line out from a
notebook to your TV. The red cable connector
goes into the red socket of your TV, black
connector into the black socket while the black
connector goes into the 3.5mm headphone jack
of your computer.

Step 3: Open the “display settings” on your
Windows computer and activate the output to
the TV screen. You can either mirror content of
your computer on the TV or extend the display
just like a dual monitor screen.

If you are using Windows 7, press the keyboard
shortcut Windows + P to quickly access the
display settings or search for “Connect to
External Display” in the Windows Run box.

Step 4: Pick up your TV remote and switch to
“External Inputs” from the menu. You will need
to change the default “Video 1″ to a different
selection which may be “HDMI 1″ or “Video 2″
depending on how you have made the
connection.

Important: Make sure that you connect the
physical cable to the TV before turning on the
computer as sometimes it may fail to recognize
external display. You may also need to change
the screen resolution of your TV using the
Display settings in your Control Panel else the
picture may sometimes appear distorted.

How to Take a Screenshot in Windows 8 with No Extra Software

Today we are going to show you a nifty new shortcut built into Windows 8 that lets you capture everything that’s on your screen–this is the first time that Windows has really included a built-in way to capture screenshots.

Taking a Screenshot in Windows Switch to the Start Screen and launch your app of choice.

To take a screenshot, hold down the Windows key and press the PrtScn (Print Screen) button on your keyboard.

Now press the Win + E keyboard combination to open Explorer and navigate to your Pictures library in the left-hand side panel, here you will find a newly created Screenshots folder, double- click on it to open it up.

Inside you will find all the screenshots you have taken, listed in chronological order.

That’s all there is to it.

How to take a Screenshot on a Mac

You might occasionally need to capture the image on your computer screen so you can save or share it. If you've used a PC designed to run Microsoft Windows, you've probably used the Print Screen key on the keyboard to do this.

If you're using a Mac, though, you'll notice Apple doesn't include such a key. Don't worry, though, because we're about to look at the keyboard combinations and built-in tools you can use on your Mac to capture what you need from the screen.

First, let's look at the keyboard combinations you can use to capture the image on your screen.

The keystrokes for screenshots are multiple keys that should be pressed together. When you do this, press and hold the first key, then the second, and so forth, and immediately release all keys after pressing the final one in the sequence.

The following are the keystrokes to remember for screen capturing:

»Command+Shift+3 captures the entire screen and saves it to a file on your desktop.

»Command+Shift+4 temporarily replaces your mouse cursor with a tool to select any rectangular portion of the screen. Click and drag the tool to make your selection. Your cursor immediately returns to normal after that
selection.

Control added to the start of either of these sequences saves the image to the clipboard temporarily instead of to a permanent file.
That allows you to copy and paste what you see on the screen into an application, such as image editing software.
If you don't use the Control key, your Mac saves these keystroke captures to your desktop by default.
When you're capturing images this way, you won't see any system or app notifications to verify success. Instead, the system just plays a chime that sounds like a film camera snapping a photo.
To see the files you're saving, you'll have to either open your Finder or minimize your windows to find the images saved on the desktop.
Mac OS X traditionally saved keyboard-generated
screenshots as tagged image file format (TIFF) files.
Macs switched to portable document format (PDF) starting in the 10.2 release of OS X, and to portable network graphics (PNG) files by 10.6. Later, we'll look at how you can convert any of these images to other file formats.
While keystrokes let you get a quick capture from the screen, they have limited options for what you're capturing. That's where the Grab utility comes in.
Next, let's take a look at how to use Grab, including how to capture a specific window and how to time the capture to include things like mouse-over text or drop-down menus.
