Things have moved on, so to speak, pretty rapidly in the house moving department. A couple of weeks ago we found a property that we fell for in Berkhamsted, a gorgeous little town just outside the M25 motorway within easy reach of central London by rail. Luckily for us, prospective buyers for our current house have also come along at the same time and everybody wants to get on with things so hopefully we’ll be able to move quickly – fingers crossed!
The surveys on our new place dropped through the door today and I am happy to report that at first glance things all seem to be in order. The next job is to ensure that our solicitor has a copy. Instead of waiting for the photocopier at work tomorrow, I decided to employ our trusty Epson 1670 scanner to create PDFs of all of the pages so I can email the documents on as well as print them out and send them by post.
Somewhat annoyingly, the scanner software creates PDF files containing one page each – there is no option to scan in multiple pages and generate one file. This isn’t particularly convenient – having to open one page after the other when they should all be in the same document makes things hard work. That’s where Google came to the rescue again this evening. A quick search soon turned up ConcatPDF, a tiny application that will take a number of PDF files and produce one. Just the ticket – I now have single files to keep for myself and email to the solicitor.
You do need to download and install a small component from Microsoft before you can use it, but this is a little price to pay for a neat – and free – application.
