Google Docs may offer a very easy way to create and share a range of different document types, but the humble PDF remains a popular method of sharing information. Now Google is improving how Docs handles PDF conversions.

Jabil, a top enterprise cloud-computing provider, has joined forces with Google for a raw conversion service. Called Google Docs to PDF, its unique offering will use the services of Jabil to store the PDF documents and bring them to the cloud.

Google Docs can also convert PDF files into Google Docs files which can then be synced to Google Drive, with the added bonus of allowing buyers to provide different versions of the files so that they can be edited on various devices. This allows the sale and preservation of new and archival material online.

On the conversion side of the business, Jabil is using its proprietary VNDB software to help convert PDF files into Docs files. Google Docs to PDF can convert files of up to 6 MB in size. The process content looks similar to the outcome at Jabil's office translation services, the Div. A, Sofia, Bulgaria office.

With VNDB, Jabil has been allowing people to take algorithms like Creativity Engine, Ruby Grid and PC Mini into motion, where individuals can dictate their desired corrections, clone, mirror, resize, rotate and delete a PDF or Word document.

Google Docs to PDF also includes a quality assurance tool to check that the conversion process started correctly.

In a brief demo, developer Nancy Moore talked about how she and Jabil's staff would select a page from an Adobe PDF file, zoom in and fix the image within the document itself. When changes were made, Adobe had to be alerted – through a pop-up notification that appeared within the PDF file itself – as there were changes.

Because of the use of similar Unity 3D software, Google may offer more than just one conversion tool to Google Docs sellers. As Jabil covers most of the goes and does: Google Docs conversion, divisions within Google could offer more intermediaries to cut out the middleman.

Indonesia is considering sending 200 soldiers on a three-month deployment to Syria , a move billed as a counter-terrorism deployment, that would see them join other countries such as refugee groups and non-state groups that historically fought such conflicts in the Middle East .

The deployment of troops would send Indonesia into the role as an official intervener in the Syrian conflict , in the same vein as its decades-long fight against Rohingya militants in the western state of Aceh .

Regardless of whether the Indonesian government decides to send troops to Syria , their influence will likely prove limited .
