Desine Temperature Circute

A format to prevent you from printing

To effectively reduce our consumption of paper, the WWF launched into editing software. Eh .. ggg (for Toulouse), WWF, publisher of software? The idea is actually quite simple and not so twisted it. We are not able to limit our own paper prints? Our reflex is unconquerable? Bad habits are far too entrenched in deep within us despite our desire to save the planet and the little birds? The solution of the NGOs is unstoppable: go to the source and prevent the possibility of printing a document using a file format unprintable.

In my (however short) career I met many people who automatically print all their emails and any attachments to these messages. This is a tool that may paralyze your somewhat suppliers, customers, colleagues, etc. ... who have such bad reflexes. Life will become very complicated in certain extreme situations, but real: I think those who never consult their inbox since everything that passes through their computer is automatically printed by the assistant ... who is in charge of stacking the bundles of papers on the desk. I'm sure I'm not the only one who witnessed it!

slogan "Save a WWF save a tree", the software works just like a PDF and opens with most PDF readers such that Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader.

To do this, simply download a software free and then use the function "Save in WWF /" save as wwf " in the print menu. According to WWF, the software is able to open any document (Microsoft Office, e-mails, web pages ...) and perform the conversion for a file extension. Wwf.
You end up with a document extension called ". Wwf. The NGO is definitely very good at branding!

I have not been able to test because the software is currently in Mac version. This error will be caught soon I hope. For the Mac, here's the press release (in German). Wwf for the first test!

However this operation is not it just symbolic? Car. Wwf is not a new tool: programs via PDF already allowed the option to lock the printing of documents for reasons of confidentiality or rights of authors (I have long hated a teacher from my school for use this format there!).

Moreover if we really want to print documents it does not copy and paste on a Word doc? A check because it was impossible to copy and paste the documents from my teacher ... But even assuming that it is feasible that manipulation will certainly reduce a lot of impressions.
So for those who have been tested. Wwf, I'd like to have your feedback about it!

I'm not totally convinced today by the usefulness of this extension, however, was not able to test it is definitely for you!
