I often have ideas for small supplements/hacks etc that I never put to paper, because laying documents out is sooo slow. Is there a fast way to create decent looking/laid out documents? How?

For example: the idea occurs to me to use Transmissions from Technoir in a game of The Veil.

So:

  • I reread both games looking for where the two will fit together.
  • I identify where conflicts need to be considered.
  • I write some notes detailing the idea.
  • I playtest it.
  • I adjust the notes.

This is all fun!

But then to share it with anyone else I need to create a reasonable-looking pdf that's clear and readable and conveys the relevant information in an efficient manner. This is painful. Excruciating actually. And so slow. 95% of the time I just don't do this with ideas, I can't be bothered.

Is there some wonderful piece of software than makes creating a nice document, with a decent rpg layout, a quick and easy task?

LPT: Create a document with all your passwords for when you die

Recently, someone I know passed very suddenly and unexpectedly and I know their relatives don’t have access to their digital assets.

Everyone should make a master password list and leave it with someone trusted in case of sudden death, if you wish of course.

The most important passwords are:

  • Your Email
  • Phone

Those two things usually can reset other account passwords.

There are many ways to do this, personally I’ve left a document with my siblings and parents with a password only a trusted few know.

Hopefully you won’t need this anytime soon. Cheers.

Can I use LaTeX to create a document which pulls information from many separate markdown files?

Forgive me if this is a simple/silly question but I'd like to know before going further down the LaTeX rabbit hole.

Say I wanted to create an encyclopedic document on apples. I have dozens of folders on individual apple varieties which contains a markdown file on the apple variety and images/diagrams. Each markdown file is structured the same way with headings and subheadings with information like name, location, description, etc.

Could I then create a LaTeX document that I have formated to my liking which pulls text and images from the markdown files? If that makes sense.

Hello.

I want to update a doc file that everyone can see, but only I can edit. I want to make some edits to it, but all the changes show up in real time. Is it possible for me to make something like a private version that I could update, while the other users only see the old one?

How to create a searchable SharePoint document library.

Hi all,

I’m trying to find a solution for a hopefully simple task. Long story short, I need multiple users (all organisation members so all have access to SharePoint etc) to be able to access and search a document library with some specificity. It’s for a large audio server where people will need to search key terms and access the files for download. Ideally an easy interface that can be accessed anywhere. I have any amount of storage and multiple options. Currently we all connect into a NAS server but looking to phase that out and store files in SharePoint/OneDrive.

Any suggestions of a good plan? I have some coding and app development skills so not afraid to get stuck in.

Thanks

Looking for suggestions for the best software to create an interactive/hyperlinked PDF that can manage/reference hundreds of documents while remaining usable and quick

Hi Reddit,

Hope this is the right place for this question.

I am working on a project that requires me to build a step-by-step instructional document to teach someone how to build something. Let's say this build is 30 steps. Each of those 30 steps has it's own multi-page instructional document. Then to further complicate this, there may be 50x the variations of the thing we are building. So the number of documents is very high, and with each step/individual instruction being anywhere from 10-100 pages, combining all into one document will not leave that very functional.

My vision for this is kind of like how an app would function. An end-user could load the cover page, which has buttons for which variation they are working on. Click that button (hyperlink), and that brings you to the document to show how to do step 1 of that variation. Then back-forward buttons to move to the next step, go back if something was missed, etc

Would need to be accessible by many end users, with a cloud based folder structure to house all the documents needed. (Estimate is 500+ documents, 10+ GB data)

Any thoughts? Initial vision is a PDF that can look/act like an app. But this is new to me. I have started with the typical PDF programs to stress test, but curious if the crowd here might have any suggestions before I get too far down a road?

Thanks!

Quick way to create a pages document!

Let me preface this by saying it might Be a niche situation although as I am facing it might as well ask…

Well as a student I have to frequently create text documents and my program of choice is pages. The problem is it takes a loooooong time to start up and needs a couple of clicks to choose a template. So my question is, is there a work around (like a separate program or a key binding) to simply create a new pages document(like it does in ms word)?

Fake resignation document, create after resignation date and with fake signature.

Hi All, I am writing this post for a friend of mine and I hope you can give me some advice/feedbacks. Sorry for typos etc, non native english.

So,basically my friend was working for a food company in UK. He had a contract until the 5th of December but he wasn't actually working (covid, restriction, etc) but he was available.

His contract says he has to give 2 weeks notice.

On the 7th of November he writes an e-mail to his manager and says that he found a new job but that he will work until the 5th of Dec. The manager replied she was sorry he was leaving and wished good luck, nothing more.

Then, he noticed that he was paid until the 21st of Novemeber. Here things are getting dodgy. When he enquired with the manager, she showed him a resignation pdf document where there is written he will leave the 21st of November. At the bottom there is a "digital signature", which in this case it is just a different word style (dodgy but not the best yet!). Obviously he has NEVER saw or signed or witnessed that document. Moreover on the document property of the pdf (which is different from the file property) it says that that pdf was created....the 7th of December!

Atm, he only asked explanation about the resignation document and the manager said it was "automatically uploaded". Nothing more.

Finally, he showed me some e-mails he exchanged and clearly they are pretending they don't understand what the problem is and they don't want to go into the details etc.

What would you think would be the best course of action to get the money?

Thanks for your help and support!

Business Central: Cannot create the document because it includes garbled text

Hey,

Has anyone encountered such error in Business Central?

I'm trying to print the posted sales invoice, but i receive the following error:

"Cannot create the document because it includes garbled text."

This only occurs with 1-2 orders, others work perfectly well. I can't open the document as we are not able to print/preview the document. Opened the order with zoom functionality but can't find an error there as all the field values are valid.

Is there a known fix for this issue?

Is it legal to create a document from a department that doesn’t exist?

A coworker of mine had someone watch his dogs for a while, and they aren’t giving the dogs back. He’s got the police to come with him on standby to ask for the dog back. We’re pretty convinced that the guy is going to refuse, but we’re hoping he will say yes, and one of the ideas for getting a yes out of the guy is to intimidate him with a false document.

The paper is an order to hand over the dogs, and it comes from a department that doesn’t exist, signed by a person who doesn’t exist. It doesn’t threaten them with imprisonment, and my thought process is that if the department doesn’t really exist, then there’s nothing wrong. Is this legal?
