Have you ever wanted to open a file but didn’t have the correct software for it? Or wanted to be able to do something like create a PDF document or run your own server but not pay for the well known expensive software like Adobe Acrobat or WHS? You can use Google to find free or cheaper alternatives by doing a vs or alternative search.
For example if you want to find an alternative for creating PDF files type in “Adobe Acrobat vs” minus the quotes and you will get many suggestions. You can also do a search for “Adobe Acrobat Alternative” to find a free or cheaper alternative.
This is also a great tool to use if you need to find alternatives for different operating systems. For example lets say you just switched to a MAC from Windows and you are use to the oh so familiar “notepad” well if you do a search “notepad alternative for mac” you will be filled with a bunch of alternative choices to choose from.
