Simple Scan has two resolution settings, Images and Text, and saves files as PDFs. Unfortunately, the quality of the scans—the words, numbers, and graphics—is unsuitable using the Text setting, but the files are quite large—up to 5MB for just a few pages—using the Image setting. I found an answer to the latter problem using the commands pdf2ps and ps2pdf, which are part of the Ghostscript package. This solution shrinks the size of PDF files, making them easier to share via email.

The man pages for these commands are terse, and it was challenging to find good documentation for them and their settings. So I pieced together the following by combining information from the man pages with various other bits of advice I found on the internet.

Many of the documents you receive come in PDF format. Sometimes those PDFs need to be manipulated. For example, pages might need to be removed or added, or you might need to sign or change a specific page.

There are some fancy graphical user interface tools that let you edit PDFs, but I have always been most comfortable with the command line. Of the many command-line tools for this task, the ones I use when I want to modify a PDF are qpdf and poppler-utils.

A drop-down list is an excellent way to give the user an option to select from a pre-defined list. It can be used while getting a user to fill a form, or while creating interactive Excel dashboards. Drop-down lists are quite common on websites/apps and are very intuitive for the user.

In VBA, it is mandatory to understand the loops. A loop allows you to conduct the same activity for many cells or objects in excel. VBA For Each Loop can loop through all the set collections of objects or items. For example, a group means “All the opened workbooks,” “All the worksheets in a workbook,” and “All the collection of shapes and charts in the workbook.”

A macro is a code written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) that allows you to run a chunk of code whenever it is executed. When you record a macro, Excel closely watches the steps you’re taking and notes it down in a language that it understands – which is VBA.

And since Excel is a really good note taker, it creates a very detailed code (as we will see later in this tutorial). Now, when you stop the recording, save the macro, and run it, Excel simply goes back to the VBA code it generated and follows the exact same steps.

You can easily edit a formula through the formula bar or directly in the cell. While this makes it convenient to create formulas in Excel, it comes with a few disadvantages as well. By default, all the cells are locked in Excel. Only when you protect the locked cells can you truly restrict the user from making changes. This also means that if a cell is not locked and you protect it, the user would be able to make changes.
