The exams began at 7.30 am and are being held in three shifts. <br /><br /> Zubair Khan, a student of School of Open Learning (SOL), said, "I had my Hindi exam today according to the date-sheet. When I opened the portal for downloading my question paper, I found that two question papers were uploaded -- one of Hindi and another of the paper scheduled for August 13. I sent mails to the SOL but there was no response. I consulted a professor who advised me to attempt the paper scheduled for today." <br /><br /> Another student, Deepak Gupta, said he was not sure if he could successfully upload his answer sheets before the scheduled time of 11.30 am. <br /><br /> "It was 11.28 am by the time I finished creating PDF files (of my answer sheets). I tried to upload them but they didn't get uploaded. I have mailed them to the designated ID but do not know whether they will be accepted," he added. <br /><br /> A student of B.Sc Physical Science, who did not wish to be identified, said that the paper was quite tough and in a situation, when classes could not happen properly, it was unjust for students. <br /><br /> Abha Dev Habib, a professor of Miranda House, said most of the students in her class did not get a confirmation mail after uploading their answer sheets. The students then mailed to the varsity website their answer sheets and got an auto-generated response. <br /><br /> Pankaj Garg, a professor of Rajdhani College, said that the main problem that students faced was in uploading the answer sheets. <br /><br /> "They faced problems in uploading PDF files and some of the students said that if they could upload answers to two questions, they could not upload the answers to the third. They were not sure whether their answer sheets were uploaded. The college received answer sheets on email post 11.30 am, which was the scheduled time," he said. <br /><br /> Garg also said that teachers will face issues while evaluating answer sheets. <br /><br /> "There is a fair possibility that there would be swapping of the pages while scanning and uploading, this would disturb the sequence.... Teachers have to be very very careful in connecting all those pages which belongs to the same question," he added. <br /><br /> While scanning some pages may be blurred and it would be difficult to read them carefully and it would be more difficult to connect to the next page and hence the continuity of the answer would be lost, he added. <br /><br /> For teachers, the most challenging point would be marking of pages, it seems that evaluation would take much longer, he stressed. <br /><br /> The exams have been postponed several times. The Delhi University Teachers' Association had been demanding that the exams be scrapped and the students evaluated on the basis of previous performances and an internal assessment. <br /><br /> <keyword id="1204125" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Delhi-High-Court">The Delhi High Court</keyword> gave its nod to the university to conduct the exams. <br /><strong><br />SEE ALSO: <br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/these-are-the-tabletop-airports-in-india-two-of-them-have-seen-major-plane-crashes-in-last-10-years/articleshow/77427972.cms">These are the tabletop airports in India – two of them have seen major plane crashes in last 10 years</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/how-karan-bajaj-sold-his-less-than-18-month-old-startup-white-hat-jr-to-byjus/articleshow/77415329.cms">A WhatsApp message, six weeks of talks and a $300 million deal – how Karan Bajaj sold his less than 18-month old startup White Hat Jr to Byju’s</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/mukesh-ambani-is-now-the-worlds-fourth-richest-person-after-he-beat-louis-vuitton-owner-bernard-arnault/articleshow/77431776.cms">Mukesh Ambani is now the world’s fourth-richest person after he beat Louis Vuitton owner Bernard Arnault</a></strong>

Rasters are most common, but vectors play a critical role in graphic design and website building.</p><p>But what is a vector? And how can you quickly identify a vector file?</p><p>Here's what you should know.</p><h2>What is a vector file?</h2><p>Again, there are generally two types of images you'll see online and in apps, rasters (also known as bitmaps) and vectors.</p><p>The distinction between them can seem complicated, but is actually quite simple. Raster graphics are made of a grid of pixels, each one of which is assigned a precise color. Vectors, on the other hand, are built from mathematically defined shapes like lines and curves. </p><p>This means that vector graphics can be infinitely resized without losing any sharpness or color quality, which is great for projects that need high quality images.</p><div type="image" title="vector vs raster" height="1407" width="2814" msid="81521086" hostid="261"></div><p>But how can you quickly identify a vector file? Most vectors come in just a few different file types, making them easy to pick out.</p><h2><strong>Common types of vector <keyword id="6448233" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="files">files</keyword></strong></h2><p>In the same way that there are a variety of raster file types (.JPG, .PNG, etc.), there are a number of vector file formats, each used for a different application. Here are the most common vector files in use today:</p><h2><strong>The most popular vector file types</strong></h2><ul><li><p><strong>AI:</strong> This is Adobe Illustrator's native file format. Adobe Illustrator is a popular vector graphics editing program used for designing magazines, apps, logos, and illustrations.</p><div type="image" title="What are vector graphics 2" height="500" width="900" msid="81521087" hostid="261"></div></li><li><p><strong>EPS:</strong> This file format stands for Encapsulated Postscript. It's one of the oldest vector graphic formats around. Its most significant disadvantage is that it doesn't support transparency, but is still commonly used because it can easily contain a page that combines both vector and raster images.</p></li><li><p><strong>PDF</strong>: The Portable Document Format is another very old file format, and probably the one most people are familiar with. PDFs are cross-platform documents that look the same no matter where they're viewed. They were originally created in Adobe systems and displayed in Adobe Reader, but now there are dozens of programs which can work with PDF files. </p></li><li><p><strong>SVG</strong>: The Scalable Vector Graphics format is a relatively modern format that's easier to work with than many others. These files are commonly used online, because they're easy to place on websites and look great on any display or device.</p><div type="image" title="What are they types of vector files 1" height="1168" width="2077" msid="81521088" hostid="261"></div></li></ul><h2><strong>How to open a vector file</strong></h2><p>What you need to open a vector graphics file depends on your goal. Here are your options:</p><ul><li><strong>If you want to view or print a vector graphics file</strong>, you can probably open it in most graphics programs, even if they're designed mainly for raster images. Adobe Photoshop, for example, can open AI, EPS, PDF and SVG files, though the image is opened as a raster at a fixed resolution. You just can't edit the vector and keep it as a vector.</li><li><strong>You can also view and print (but not edit)</strong> most vector graphics files in a web browser - just drag and drop the file into your browser to see it.</li><li><strong>If you want to edit a vector graphics file</strong> while maintaining its scalable, resolution-independent vector characteristics, you need to open it in a suitable vector graphics application, like Adobe Illustrator. If you don't want to use Illustrator, <a href="https://www.coreldraw.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">you can also check out <strong>CorelDRAW</strong></a> (the second most popular application after Illustrator), or <a href="https://inkscape.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the free and open-source app <strong>Inkscape</strong></a>.</li></ul><a data-type="603d5fa440f5aa211c76f96c">What is aspect ratio?

The letters stand for Portable Document Format, which refers to a file type easily shared by various operating systems and types of hardware. This ease is due to the fact that PDFs are locked files; they are essentially an image of a file, rather than being text, graphics, or any other media that are readily manipulated.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This means the same PDF can be opened and viewed just as easily on a <a href="http://apple.sjv.io/c/196318/435031/7613?subId1=bi_060519_convert-pdf-to-word-on-mac&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fbuy-mac%2Fmacbook-pro">Mac</a> as on a PC. But it also means that should you want to edit, say, your resume, you're stuck if the file in question is a PDF. That is, you're stuck until you convert the PDF into a Word document that will let you edit it freely.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Converting PDFs to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/microsoft-word">Word</a> files on a <a href="http://apple.sjv.io/c/196318/435031/7613?subId1=bi_060519_convert-pdf-to-word-on-mac&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fbuy-mac%2Fmacbook-pro">Mac</a> is easy if you use a free Google Docs application. And it's even easier if you buy one of several types of software with conversion capabilities. </span></p><h2><strong>How to convert PDFs to Word on Mac with Google Docs</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Note: This method will work best with PDF documents that are primarily text-based.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>1. </strong>While logged into your Google account, navigate to Google Docs and create a new document.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>2. </strong>Click "File," then select "Open" from the drop down menu.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Steven John/Business Insider</span></p><p class="caption">Click "Open" in the dropdown menu.</p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>3. </strong></span><span style="color: #000000;">Find the PDF in question on your computer and open it in Google Docs.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>4. </strong>Click "File," then select "Download As" and choose "Microsoft Word (.docx)."</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Steven John/Business Insider</span></p><p class="caption">You can then download the PDF in a variety of formats.</p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The file will now appear in your Downloads folder as a Word document.

Simply highlight the text to be copied from the PDF, then hit "Command + C" to copy it. Open a blank Word doc and hit "Command + V" to paste and... there's your text, now in the Word document. Note, however, that there's a good chance the line breaks will appear in weird spots, so you'll have to take the time to fix the formatting.</span></p><h2><strong>Using Adobe to convert PDF to Word</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you foresee yourself working with lots of PDFs this year, or if you need to be able to export PDFs with lots of graphics and different types of text blocks, making sure the layout stays intact, then consider spending about $25 on a year-long subscription to </span><a href="https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/products/export-pdf-online-pricing.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adobe Acrobat Exporter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Best of all, not only does Acrobat Exporter preserve quality and formatting during PDF export, but it lets you convert a PDF into all sorts of file types, from a Word doc to RTF files, Excel files, and beyond.</span></p><h2><strong>Related coverage from<span> </span><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/tech-how-to">How To Do Everything: Tech</a>:</strong></h2><ul><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-alphabetize-in-google-docs">How to alphabetize paragraphs or lists in Google Docs, using a free and simple add-on</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-clear-cookies-on-mac">How to clear and manage cookies on your Mac computer's Safari browser</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-clear-cache-on-mac-computer">How to clear the cache on your Mac computer to make it run more efficiently</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-screen-record-on-mac">How to easily record your screen on a Mac computer</a></h3></li></ul>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-ios-13-software-update-best-features-coming-2019-6">Here are the best updates coming to your iPhone this fall</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div>
