Macros for indexers who work in Windows®
|
User Recommendations Megabit Macros are a phenomenal tool for indexers. I am able to work faster and with less strain on my wrists by using these macros to invert names, format titles of works, and change page ranges. The learning curve is short and the support is incredible. Margaret even created macros specific to my needs! Even though I'm a fast typist, Megabit Macros sped up the process for a names index I recently had to create from strings of names in bibliographic material. I was able to enter over 100 more names per hour with the macros than I normally would if I had typed them one by one. They also saved me the time and effort I would ordinarily spend proofreading the accuracy of the spelling of the names. I use them now in all of my indexing projects. A time saver? Yes. These macros are also an ergonomic boon for any indexer with a history of wrist problems. |
Megabit Macros are third-party macros for indexers who work in Windows, to speed up copying text from Adobe PDF files into an indexing program. Pokemon all version free download. They were created in an independent program called Macro Express. How do the macros work?First, you install the trial version of the third-party program, Macro Express, and load my macro library file into it. Then, with your PDF open in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat, and your indexing program waiting, you select the text you want to copy, press a keyboard shortcut to run the macro, and in a few seconds, the macro
Yes, you read that right—it does all of that in a few seconds. Some macros stop after the macro pastes in your text, wait until you've added a page number or a subentry or an author name, and continue when you press a certain key. The macros work with the three major indexing programs: SKY Index , Cindex for Windows, and Macrex. (Note: They do not work with Cindex for Mac, but some people have been able to get them to work on a Mac under a program called Parallels, using Cindex for PC. One person is using the macros with Macrex on a Mac with a program called VMWare Fusion.) Note: There is a macro program for Macs called 'Quickeys,' available at Quickeys website (Startly Technologies). What's so good about that?You'll save time and stress on your hands and wrists. If you're indexing a PDF with a lot of complex terminology, foreign terms in the Latin alphabet, proper names, or just a large number of words of any kind, you will save a lot of typing and/or clicking. If you were planning to copy your terms by hand from the PDF, it will increase the speed of the copying process at least six times because you'll be pressing one keyboard shortcut instead of doing at least six clicks, double-clicks, or keypresses:
You will also save time because of the clean-up the macros do to the text before pasting it in..
Beyond the cleanup, this is what the macros can do, in addition to copying:
Examples of What Can Be CopiedClick the following links to download PDF files that show specific examples of what the macros can do. Could I accomplish the same thing with SKY or Cindex or Macrex macros?No, because a SKY macro will only work within SKY, and a Cindex macro will only work within Cindex, and a Macrex macro will only work within Macrex. It would not be able to take you back and forth between your indexing program and another application and perform actions within the other application. Macro Express, the program in which my macros are written, is an independent program that uses standard Windows functions. (You could easily have SKY or Cindex or Macrex macros that do certain things my macros do, like inverting a name, but not that perform the entire operation of copying the text in the Adobe program, switching into the indexing program, cleaning up the text, pasting it in, and returning to the PDF in one swoop.) I can't quite picture how this works..This is what your screen might look like before you use the macro. Your focus is in your PDF on the left side of the screen, the text you want to copy is highlighted, and SKY is ready and waiting on the right side of your screen: Now you press Ctrl+F7, the keyboard shortcut for copying and inverting a name with one last name.. and a few seconds later, your text has been copied into SKY, the focus is back in Adobe, and you are ready to select the next text to copy in your Adobe program, and SKY is ready to receive your next entry, so your screen looks like this: But I don't use the Adobe software. I use some other program.The only other program that seems to work well with the macros is PDF-XChange Viewer and PDF-XChange Editor from Tracker Software. I have created versions of the macros for SKY and for Cindex and for Macrex with this reader, because this program can be set to automatically highlight what it copies, so that you can have a record of what you have and have not copied. I've tried a couple of other free PDF reader programs but they didn't work as well, so they didn't seem worth pursuing. |
Will the keyboard shortcuts interfere with my existing shortcuts in SKY or Cindex or Macrex?Not at all. The keyboard shortcuts for Macro Express will not affect or interfere with whatever shortcuts you use in your indexing program. The macros can only be started from within Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. What about page numbers?The SKY and Cindex macros were initially designed to work with the indexing software features that automatically repeat the page number, but there are some macros in which you can change the page number during the macro; the macro pauses for you to enter or edit the page number and returns to the PDF when you press a certain key. The Macrex macros are a little different; because there are so many more options in Macrex for entering the page number, the Macrex macros stop for you to take care of the page number, and you press one key if you want to return to the PDF, or another key if you want to remain in Macrex. (I also have a version of the Cindex macros that all stop when it's time to enter the page number, for those who never use autorepeat.) Does every indexer need this?If you only copy from PDF files occasionally, it's probably not worth it. If you are copying material in non-Latin alphabets, it's not going to work. Additionally, there are some situations where you would be able to use column selection to copy chunks of text at a time from a PDF, which might end up being faster depending on the specific situation. However, if you spend a lot of time copying from PDF files, you'll find it time-saving. It's especially useful with proper names or complex vocabulary. What's involved?Email me: Send Message and I'll email them to you. Let me know which indexing program you are using. First you would download Macro Express, the independent macro utility program that my macros are written in; this program is shareware, free to try for 30 days ($49.95 to purchase after the trial). You can download the program from the Macro Express web site. (Do not download 'Macro Express Pro,' which is a different program.) -------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: As of late 2018, there is a NEW version of Macro Express, which is numbered as version #5, and is priced at $49.95. Please note... if you already have version 3, you do NOT need the new version (unless you lose all your version 3 files..so keep a backup!!). If you are a new user, you will have to get the new version. --------------------------------- After you get Macro Express installed, then you'll open my macro file in Macro Express (similar to opening a file in any other application). Once you've opened the macro file, Macro Express will automatically open it whenever it starts, so you only have to do this once. Before you start using the macros, you'll make a few changes to the settings in the Macro Express program, and then you won't need to do any more setup with Macro Express; all you have to do is have the program running whenever you want to use the macros. Yes, it does take a little work to get it all set up, but you're going to spend maybe one hour or so in order to save many hours in the long run. In addition to my macro file, you will get a PDF of instructions, a 'practice sheet' PDF with examples to try, and a list of the macros and shortcuts. My macro files are not time-limited, but if you end up registering Macro Express and using the macros regularly, you can also purchase my macro file for $65. Macro file upgrades, support beyond installation, and custom macros are only available to those who have purchased the macros.I also require that you agree not to give away or sell copies of my macro file to others, reverse-engineer it, or use the Megabit Macros name. Unfortunately there is no practical way for me to make the macros stop working after 30 days, like most shareware, so I cannot force people to pay me for them. These macros and the associated materials took me many hundreds of hours to create. In fact, I cannot actually charge enough for them to ever recuperate the value of all the time I spent on them, so what I am asking for them is actually nominal rather than profit-making. If I had simply developed these macros in the course of my own work, I would share them freely with colleagues, as I have done with Microsoft Word macros. However, I developed these macros based on specific requests from various indexers, and many were far more time-consuming to write than Word macros. The 'name-splitting' macros (for breaking up strings of names from a bibliography) are a separate group of macros and I no longer give out the instructions for them until/unless the macros have been paid for. What? I have to buy a separate program and also pay for your macro files?Yes, because there would be no way to create these macros without the Macro Express program (or something similar). And it took me many hours and a lot of perseverance to get all the macros to work. But you'll earn the cost of the macros in saved time very quickly. After all, saving time is the point of the whole thing! |
What are the system requirements?They're simple — you just need a Windows computer powerful enough to run your Adobe program and your indexing program at the same time. If you can already do that, you shouldn't have a problem adding Macro Express. The system requirements for Macro Express are comparatively low. My macros were originally created in Windows XP SP2, using Macro Express version 3.7, Adobe Acrobat Professional 8, and SKY 6. Since then, they have been updated and used on systems running
Problems in Adobe Acrobat/Reader X, XI, and Reader DC: 'Protected Mode'In Adobe Acrobat X, XI, and Adobe Reader DC, there is a new feature called protected mode, which is on by default. This mode prevents you from copying from the file with the macros. In order to be able to copy from a PDF with the macros, you must turn off this option:
Note: Some PDF files have restrictions on copying that were set when the files were created, and these files cannot be copied from unless the file's originator changes those settings. Cindex v2 and Windows 7: Compatibility ModeIn Windows 7, Cindex version 2 needs to be run in compatibility mode. Because Cindex is running in compatibility mode, in order to run the Cindex macros, Macro Express must also be run in compatibility mode. This is not the same thing as the 'XP mode' that's only available in the more expensive editions of Windows 7. (This only applies to Cindex 2. The new Cindex version 3 does not need to be run in compatibility mode, so Macro Express doesn't either.) How do I get the macros, or ask you a question about them?Email me: Send Message. Let me know which indexing program you're using, and I'll email the macro files and instructions to you. The macros currently exist in several separate files: one for SKY, one for Cindex, and one for Macrex. (Only one macro file can be running at a time.) Note: The keyboard shortcuts have been set up so that they will not interfere with the default shortcuts in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Professional. However, since preferences for specific keyboard shortcuts are individual, I can customize the keyboard shortcuts for you if you like, or you can customize them yourself.

(It's no longer up to date in terms of the list of software versions, though.) |
Other QuestionsWill these macros eliminate every possible thing in the copied text that might need editing?No, because that's simply not always possible. Depending on how the PDF was originally created, there may be extra spaces where there was a ligature (so you'd get 'shi eld' instead of 'shield' or 'ses sion' instead of 'session'). The name-inversion and name-splitting macros are able to eliminate these because such spaces would have lowercase letters on both sides, but for general copying, some but not all of these spaces are eliminated, because the macro cannot always 'know' whether the extra space is correct. Also, you may have to delete a superfluous space after a hyphen occasionally. (See the next question for more on irregularities in PDF files.) But even with looking through the entries that you've copied to find these problems, you're still saving a great deal of time compared to copying by hand. (If you find something consistent that the macros might be able to eliminate, please let me know.) Free ip camera monitoring and recording software. CAUTION: Using these macros does NOT mean that you can just copy whatever you like and never inspect the results. The macros cannot eliminate every possible anomaly that may appear in the pasted material. (The Appendix in my practice sheet/demo file or the basic example file will show you what they can eliminate.) The problem is that a PDF can be created using an extremely wide variety of programs and technologies: everything from a simple text editor, such as Notepad; to web pages, in many different formats; to a complex graphic design program, such as InDesign. As a result, text can look the same in various PDFs but produce different results when copied. You must proofread your results at some point in order to catch anything unexpected. What about copying diacritics?The macros cannot copy every possible diacritic. Macro Express is not Unicode-compliant. It can only copy diacritics that are part of the Windows 1252 character set (sometimes referred to as 'ANSI' or 'ISO-8859-1,' although they're not exactly the same). This character set includes many but not all diacritics for Western European languages. (Also, some characters may not be the same in different fonts.) Basically, you won't be able to copy non-Latin characters. Here are some more pages about the Windows 1252 character set (there are a lot of charts about this on the Net, but many are hard to read and not all of them display the characters correctly):
For more information on Unicode, see the extensive articles on Wikipedia.com and these pages from the Unicode Consortium: The Unicode Consortium FAQ and What Is Unicode?. I don't want to bother with macros. Can you copy 2,545 names for me?Yes, I could use the macros to enter the names for you as a subcontractor. I can create a Cindex .CDX file or archive file; a SKY (SK7) file; a file that is importable into Macrex (a .MBK file); or a delimited text file. |

How did you come up with this?A few years ago, an editorial colleague who is an indexer took on a large project involving thousands of pages including many proper names and place names in a variety of European languages, and the project required separate indexes of people and places. She mentioned to me that it was going to be prohibitively time-consuming to type all these names into her indexing program (SKY). She would prefer to copy the terms from a PDF file either into SKY or into a text file for import into SKY and wished for a way to speed up the process. I'm not a programmer, but I've written macros in several different applications, each with a different macro 'language,' and I started thinking that it must be possible to speed up what she was doing with a macro. But a SKY macro couldn't do it — it would have to be done with a third-party macro program that could communicate between the PDF and SKY. I had heard of one called Macro Express. I downloaded it and was able to create macros to speed up the process of copying text from Adobe Reader into SKY. Later I adapted the macros for Cindex, and then for Macrex. |

What Harm Can Megabackup Trojan Do to My Mac?
In this digital age, Virus apps can be very significant not only to your Mac, but to you as well. Since most users keep their important files on Macs, all of their crucial information becomes at risk. This means that your personal ID number or other financial data that you may have used on a Mac infected by Megabackup virus can be compromised and used for malicious purposes. This is the primary reason why this threat should be dealt with immediately.
The reason why viruses, like the Megabackup threat are a significant menace, is that it has multiple different malicious functions that are utilised on your Mac. The features of a virus may vary, depending on what type it is, but it is safe to assume that the Megabackup virus can do the following on your PC:
- Steal the passwords from the Macr and obtain the keystrokes from it via Keyloggers.
- Destroy data on your Mac, like delete files. This may even result in damaging your Mac OS.
- Remotely monitor your activity. This means that whatever you do and see on your screen, the hacker who infected you can also see.
- Disable your Windows operating system via a DDoS attack (Denial of Service).
- Use your Mac's resources (CPU and Video Card) to mine cryptocurrencies, like BitCoin.
- Harvest system data and login information automatically from your web browsers.
- Install other viruses on your Mac which may cause even more damage.
- Display fake tech support screens that can lure you into a scam.
The primary method which you can use to detect a Trojan is to analyse hidden processes on your Mac This is achievable by downloading process monitoring apps, like Process Explorer. However, you will have to have a trained eye on how to detect the malicious processes and how to remove those without damaging your Mac. This is why, as a swift solution, a Mac-specific removal tool should be used, according to security experts. Such removal software will automatically scan for viruses like Megabackup and other suspicious apps and get rid of them quickly and safely while protecting your Mac against threats in the future.
