Comics had been my weakness during my childhood days. Unfortunately, technology was not developed to this extent, so it was always a fantasy reading comic book on the computer. Well, Comix, a Linux comic reader is here to fulfill my long craving fantasy. But, then again I have passed the age of comic book reading, but that shouldn’t stop me from sharing it with our readers. Comic books are fun to read and are always best past time for many people including elders.

Comix aids the purpose and lets you read comic books on Linux systems. It is an open-source project and is not only a great Linux comic book reader but also an image viewer. The program itself is very light and very flexible. It can read comics from Zip, Rar and Tar archives. Since, it is written in Python, it supports a wide variety of platforms. It not only supports aforementioned formats, but also JPG, PNG, GIF, TIG, BMP, ICO, CBZ and many other image formats. The best part is that it is available in as many as 20 different languages. The development of the project is decaying and hasn’t been released from the past several years, but the old version is still a gold.

PDF, abbreviation for Portable Document Format, is one of the most widely used format for document creation. The format is commonly referred as a PDF and is used emphatically in creating eBooks, documents etc. PDF makes it a tad easy to create and send multi-page document containing images, text, hyperlinks, videos and more via email or other medium. However, stuffing too many images, videos and graphics could take a significant chunk of space, and often turns PDF into a hefty size document. This is where a service to compress PDF online or offline comes in handy. Such services not only helps in compressing PDF but sometimes also helps in splitting them up for quicker access.

Like most of the service, PDF compress online service is available for free. In the acrimonious office environment, it is strictly prohibited to download software on PC and use them. In such adverse situation, free service to compress PDF online comes in extremely handy. Thus we would like to confine ourselves to PDF compressing services only. Later, we will probably cover few freeware to commence the same task on PC. The PDF document is very versatile and is compatible with most of the platform. Previously, we had provided some of tips to improve the overall user experience that also includes ways to unblock websites (this link).
