Although you can delete and recreate to achieve the same results but in later case you will require to re apply permissions or file attributes again.

This commend will reset the logfile.txt size to few bytes only.

Use Google Chrome to Convert Web Pages to PDF

In my previous post I have mentioned one online PDF converter service which you can use to convert web pages to PDF. You can achieve similar results using Google Chrome too. I noticed this recently that apart from built in PDF viewer, Google Chrome also comes with PDF Printer. It means you can print and save any of the opened web pages into PDF.

Although this is a very useful feature, but it is limited to web pages only. It can’t be compared with popular PDF printer drivers like Cute PDF or Primo PDF as these software are capable of converting any kind of documents to PDF. You just need to execute print command from any application.
