How to Enable Attendee Registration for Zoom Meetings

Zoom gives users the option to require attendees to register for Zoom meetings. You can ask for things like name and email, and set custom questions. This also increases your meeting’s security. Here’s how to enable attendee registration for Zoom Meetings.

Here’s aa few notes, however, before we get started. First, this option is only available to licensed users, which makes sense because you’d only use this feature in business meetings anyway. Also, you can’t use your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) for meetings that require attendee registration, though we recommend you never use your PMI for business meetings.

How to Create PDF Forms with Calculations in Adobe Acrobat

Aside from making clean printable documents, files made with Adobe Acrobat Pro can contain formulas that automatically compute your inputs. Here’s how to make simple calculations in a PDF file.

Using a PDF with Calculations

When it comes to software that can create files with formulas and automatic computations, you likely have a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets in mind. However, the nature and formatting of spreadsheets make them unwieldy and impractical to use as a form that you distribute to people.

Fortunately, Adobe Acrobat, the top-of-the-line PDF creation suite, has several tools that allow you to make fields with automatic computations in them.

There are many potential use cases for a PDF with a calculated form, such as:

  • Order Forms: If you’re handing out a form filled with possible products and their prices to a customer, you can create a field that quickly displays the final price of their order without having to pull out a calculator.
  • Assessments and Exams: You can make a quiz or assessment that automatically displays the score when you’re done answering.
  • Invoices: If you’re creating a printed invoice, you can set it to display the final amount you’re charging automatically.

Aside from the above, PDF forms can be useful for performing risk assessments, creating membership forms, or even making a simple offline personality test.

How to Save an Excel Sheet as a PDF

Excel Files as PDFs

There are many scenarios when you may want to save an Excel document as a PDF file instead of a spreadsheet. For example, if you wish to send out only a specific portion of a larger sheet, or you don’t want it to be editable. However, converting an Excel file to a PDF can be a bit tricky.

We often don’t think of Excel spreadsheets as documents with borders, pages, and margins. However, when it comes to turning these files into PDF documents that can be read, printed, or distributed to others, it’s something that you should be conscious of. Your file should be readable and understandable, without random stray columns on other pages or cell sizes that are too small to read.

Here’s how to turn your spreadsheet into a presentable and printable PDF document.

Create Administrator Mode Shortcuts Without UAC Prompts in Windows 10

User Access Control (UAC) prompts in Windows 10 can be annoying, especially when you often run a program that requires Administrator permissions. Thankfully, there’s a way to create a shortcut that doesn’t prompt you for UAC.

This trick works by setting up a scheduled task to run the target application in Administrator mode for you. You can then create a desktop shortcut that tells the task to run, which will bypass the UAC prompt the next time you click the shortcut.

While you can technically disable UAC prompts altogether, that’s an inherently bad idea as it opens up your computer’s security to potential threats and malicious code.

Because running Task Scheduler requires you to click through a UAC prompt that gives Administrator privileges to set up a task, this trick isn’t really a security loophole
