Computing is now ubiquitous in our personal lives. We can connect to our friends, tell multiple people what we are doing, show them videos and share music or photos in an instant. We do this with little thought for the technology that drives our online socialising.
The devices we use are increasingly handheld, mobile and touch sensitive. Interfaces are easy-to-use and intuitive to our touch and thinking. We can use technology anywhere to assist us. We are no longer tied to a computer at a desk but free to go about our lives with technology on hand for our benefit.

With this in mind business computing is also becoming more intuitive and mimicking our offline lives in the way we search for or organise our offline data. gDoc Fusion is helping improve office productivity through easy to use features that emulate our offline document reading habits.

Instead of clicking on individual pages one at a time to read or search, we thought about how people read documents in real life and when creating Flick View. The feature saves time and printing costs by allowing users to quickly visually flick through the pages of a document to find information, just like a physical document but using a computer mouse to scroll pages on screen.

We constantly listen to our customers feedback to continually improve our products and during one visit to a legal practice, we discussed how solicitors stack case files in the real world and if this could be emulated in gDoc Fusion. A quick conversation with our useability genius, Riccardo Taffarello and bingo we’ve added Page Stack as a new feature for the forthcoming version, gDoc Fusion 2.5. Check it out when it ships at the end of May, we’re sure you’ll love it as much as Flick View.

Here’s Global Graphics’ top eight tips for improving productivity. We all waste time each week assembling, compiling and sharing different documents so we’ve put together these valuable recommendations to help you improve your daily desktop computing productivity.
1. Combine pages from your Excel, Word and PowerPoint documents together in one file with one simple drag and drop document software program
2. View multiple documents at the same time in one viewing pane
3.   Use one viewer that can handle multiple file formats – you don’t need to have MS Office installed
4.  Browse through large documents quickly to find what you want by flicking through pages on screen like you would with a printed document. This saves time and money on printing out large documents too.
5. Create PDFs in one click by having a PDF creator icon in your MS Office toolbar.
6. Repurpose documents for sharing, posting on the web or printing in one software program
7. Edit, comment and review PDFs using the editing tools that are on the page you are working with so you don’t need to waste time searching for them  
8. Convert PDF to Word for more extensive redrafting
Of course we’d recommend you use gDoc Fusion to carry out these tips which you can download here  http://www.globalgraphics.com/en/gdoc/

I was at my local pub last Saturday lunchtime, sitting outside in the what just passed for sunshine, when I couldn’t believe my ears.  I was quietly enjoying a pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord (highly recommended by the way) when two guys come over  and sit down at the next table.   One says to the other, “I was going to PDF it to you but there were two files so I couldn’t”.  “Oh yes you can!” I shouted to myself.. “Just merge them together with gDoc Fusion.” What are the chances of being in that spot at that precise moment overhearing that conversation? …A guy walks into a pub with a PDF…walks out with gDoc Fusion!
