So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand

So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand...

If you, like me, resent every dollar spent on commercial PDF tools, you might want to know how to change the text content of a PDF without having to pay for Adobe Acrobat or another PDF tool. I didn't see an obvious open-source tool that lets you dig into PDF internals, but I did discover a few useful facts about how PDFs are structured that I think may prove useful to others (or myself) in the future. They are recorded here. They are surely not universally applicable --
the PDF standard is truly Byzantine -- but they worked for my case.

To quickly and easily remove all unwanted comments when using Sublime text, perform a search and replace (CMD, ALT & D) and enter the following. Make sure that regex search is enabled by clicking the small icon in the bottom left that looks like an astrix.

For example, to remove all HTML comments:

(?s)<!--.*?-->

search and replace with blank

Or to remove all CSS comments:

Storing Images and Demos in your Repo


In this quick walkthough you'll learn how to create a separate branch in your repo to house your screenshots and demo gifs for use in your master's readme.


How to


1. Clone a fresh copy of your repo


In order to prevent any loss of work it is best to clone the repo in a separate location to complete this task.


2. Create a new branch


Create a new branch in your repo by using git checkout --orphan assets

"A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept"


01/13/2012.  From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS140




Here's today's thought for the weekend.  A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of Y-intercept.

                GitHub Standard Fork & Pull Request Workflow
              
          

        

      

        

  

      

    
Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.


In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.


Creating a Fork


Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j
