TOKYO (MacHouse) – I have released four desktop applications so far this month. I have never been so productive since my mother’s death. That’s probably something to do with the weather. February is definitely not my favorite month. Finally, we are under March. And we’ve been enjoying warmer days. Well, I have already submitted my fifth Mac software title to Apple‘s Mac App Store more than 12 hours ago. This new software release is called desKuick.

desKuick is a desktop application that lets you change desktop wallpapers quickly. That’s made possible by its status menu. All you have to do is to explore desKuick’s status menu and select one, and the application will instantly swap desktop wallpapers. Of couse, you could alway change desktop pictures by opening System Preferences. I’ve developed desKuick because I don’t want to open System Preferences each time I have to change desktop pictures.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – When you work on something that you have never done before as a software developer, it’s possible that the current project will eventually reach a point where you have to abandone it. Oh, whoa… That’s what happened to me yesterday. Actually, I have a backup plan. Several hours ago, I submitted a simple application to Mac App Store, which I finished in some 8 hours. This new software title is called PDFSlashAll.

PDFSlashAll is a simple desktop application that lets you save every single page of your PDF document as a separate PDF file. So if your PDF document has 500 pages, then you will end up with 500 PDF files, each of which contains just one page.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – If I have some idea about what to create next, I am most likely to be able to finish an application in a few days. Well, I’m working on PDF these days. After releasing the last application related to PDF, I’m ready to introduce another. In fact, I submitted a new Mac software title to Mac App Store several hours ago. This new release is called PDF2Pictures.

PDF2Pictures lets you convert selected or all pages of a PDF document into pictures. Using PDF2Pictures is quite simple. Just drag and drop a PDF file onto the drop box to the left. Then select a page or multiple pages over the page list below. You can click on the Export All Pages toolbar button to just save all pages as pictures or click on the Export Page or the Export Pages toolbar button, depending on how many pages you’ve selected in the list.   Continue reading →

TOKYO (MacHouse) – Yes, it’s been almost a month since I introduced my last software title. That’s mostly because I’ve run out of ideas. Good news is that I finally submitted a new software title to Mac App Store some 12 hours ago. This new Mac application is called PDFLockAll.

PDFLockAll is a desktop application that lets you password-protect (or unprotect) multiple PDF documents at a time.  Imagine that you have a few dozen PDF documents to password-protect.  Would you protect those documents one by one or use PDFLockAll to protect them all at a time?  PDFLockAll works in a way such that the same password will be used to protect multiple PDF documents.  You don’t have to worry about original PDF files being overwritten.  Since PDFLockAll will create new password-protected PDF files after you select an export path, original files will remain intact.

Whether you use Preview or Adobe Reader to open a password-protected PDF document that has been created with this application, you won’t get to view the content until you enter the right password. Is it still protected on a PC? The answer is yes. If you try to view a locked document that you’ve created with this application on a PC, the content is still password-protected.   Continue reading →
