AI Thread Summary
For converting PDF to DOC and vice versa on Windows, several free options are available. Users recommend using Ghostscript for converting files from PostScript to PDF, which can be done by printing from any application. OpenOffice is highlighted as a user-friendly alternative that allows for one-click conversions, though it requires a larger download. For PDF to DOC conversions, while Able2Doc is noted for its effective formatting preservation, it is a limited trial software. Another favored free PDF converter is PrimoPDF, which allows users to convert any printable document to PDF. Overall, these tools provide viable solutions for editing and converting PDF files without cost.

If you can print it you can convert it to pdf.

Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI.

(I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
