Excel to Adobe losing characters

Hi all
This has just started happening and was intermittent but now all the time? When I preview or print an Excel doc it looks ok, but when I choose Adobe PDF printer driver it previews (and prints) with text chopped off on the far right side. Can anyone help with this? We have Adobe 6.
Thanks
Sue

does anyone know the answer to the original question as I have also encountered the same problem.

    You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
    I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
    application/pdf
    Acrobat Portable Document Format
    Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
    (in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
    While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
    You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
    It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
    Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • PDF Links in Excel Sheets - Adobe Prof. won't open

    When i try to open a pdf document which is embedded as a link into a excel sheet, Adobe Professional 7.0.0 pops up for a second a close itself again instantly.
    I could figure out that the problem lies somewhere in the .pdf file extensions which are managed by the OS (Windows XP in this case). So what im doing is deleting all the WinXp PDF File extensions and creating a new one.
    This "hotfix" works as long as i don't reboot the PC. As soon as Windows starts Adobe Professional starts some kind of startup and the problem occurs again.
    Anyone a idea ?
    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried right clicking on a PDF and selecting open with by default, and select AA?

  • Copy and paste from excel to adobe form

    Hi everyone,
    a customer in a project based on WDJ + Adobe Interactive Form asks us the ability to copy areas of data (numeric and alphanumeric) from an Excel Spreadsheet (set of contiguous rows and columns), and paste them into a text field free PDF, preserving the formatting (ie the structure of rows and columns, font and size).
    Personally I think it is something not feasible unless a development at hoc.cosa do you think?
    Any advice is very welcome.
    Regards,
    Mirco

    Reading the documentation XFA at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_3_1.pdf (richtext reference) we understand that you can make the cut & paste from Word or, better still from a RTF. But in this case from the Excel table information is lost as it is aligned in a single line.
    The only way I think is to define a common layout to Excel and Adobe and use tables dynamically in the form
    I do not think this is a limitation of the SAP solution!
    regards,
    Mirco

  • Excel to Adobe PDF page size problems

    I am using Excel 2007 on a Windows XP setup with Acrobat 9.0 PDFM OfficeAddin.  I want to convert my Excel sheets to 8.5"x11" size pages, but they come out as approx. 22"x30" pages.  I've checked the page size setting in Excel and the Adobe preference settings and they are both set for 8.5x11, but the pdf page size is always much larger!  What is causing this and what do I need to do to get 8.5x11 size pdf pages?
    Thanks you for your help. I've pulled out most of my hair by now!

    Change your printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then set the cell sizes in Excel. This is just the normal Excel adjustment to the printer.

  • Export data to MS Excel in Adobe interactive form

    Hello Experts,
    I am using Webdynpro Java and ALCD 8.2.  Can anyone help me out with functionality of Exporting adobe form data to excel file.
    Thanks in advance,
    Swami

    Hi Swami,
    When you say exporting data to a excel spread sheet.
    Does that mean once the form is generated then user should able to export to excel, if so below is the link for that.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/709565?tstart=1
    if its like for an interactive forms where user submits data the on submit event if you want to publish the form data to a spread sheet, I believ there should be a lot of posts on generating CSV files from ABAP code. this is also possible from WDJ provided if you have the respective jar files (on submit even, read data from the context, process to required format, call the excel API and write to it.)
    If from ABAP handler the post from the other blogger here might help.
    does this help, let me know if you are looking for something more specific.
    Cheers,
    Sai

  • Converting from Excel to Adobe PDF

    I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and Windows XP. The excel worksheet is on a landscape page and reduced to say 65%. It has wording on the left side that stretches through five cells. Some of the wording gets cut off. Maybe the last letter gets cut off in half, but not all the words in different cells get cut off. Some of the wording that does not get off go beyond the cells that do get cut off. This happens on some worksheets. The next worksheet can have the same page setup and nothing happens. One of the solutions we have found is that we have to add 3 spaces to the last word of the cells that is being cut off. That seems to fix the problem. Another is that we print the page in excel (works perfect) and then e-fax the page to ourselves and inserted in the document. But doing this last things keeps us from printing a final version for the client, since there is a difference. Any solutions that could solve this?

  • VISA Read Losing Characters off the end of the output string

    Hi,
    So I am writing a VI to take an output string of data from an ardunio Uno and parsing it. I am using the Read Visa vi to grab the string from output of the device. In the end I will be connecting a device that actually gives value in this type of string  format : (#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,0*).
    So after a large number of loops, the program starts to drop the last few characters of the string that it outputs. So the string output from Visa Read will read something like (#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,). The only way to fix this problem after it has occured is to completely close labview (all the way). Once I open it again and start running the program, all is fine in the world.
    Anyone ever have this issue? I have been trying to debug this in different ways and the only weird symptom that I have other than the Visa Read function losing a few characters of the string is the fact that looking at the Bytes at Port after I Visa Read, is that it starts showing five bytes instead of zero. 
    attached is my most recent attempt at solving this issue. 
    Note:  The Ardunio outputs a string of this format every 2 seconds with the values being incrimental over a specified range.(#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,0*) 
    Solved!

    Ardunio(StringOutput).vi ‏36 KB

    So i did a long data collect and It looks like ever 43minutes and 24 seconds the system goes from cutting off the last 5 characters to not cutting off the last 4 characters.
    As I cant see how Labview would be causing that, I am going to try and dig into the Ardunio and solve that issue... hopefully when thats done I can simplfy my code like you guys pointed out.
    Thanks!

  • Adobe losing it?

    Adobe seems to have an attitude problem - I hope it's not losing it...
    I am downloading the latest version of flash player.
    1. First of all, it seems to always want to load something else with it - the default setting is to also download and install McAfee, Chrome etc. - you need to un-select it if you don't want it. I thought that by now the world has learned that this kind of default options is politically wrong! I don't wan to see Adobe engaging in it, regardless of how much extra revenue it may bring. It is wrong. The screen could ask politely "would you also like to try this or that?" and the default setting should be NO.
    2. After downloading it, tried to run it - it wants me to close my browser. It is not convenient for me to do that now so I decide to postpone the whole process. I go to the place where the download resides, and try to delete it. IT DOESN'T LET ME! IT WANTS A PASSWORD! Now Adobe is not letting me simple delete its download on my own computer?
    3. This is my first time on these forums. The process of getting here was really difficult, time consuming, and extremely unfriendly. I could not find a place to simply go and file a complaints. I could not set up an account on the forums without going through a lot of hoops, requiring me to register some product etc. I ended up chatting with a support person who did me a big favour and set me up - I still don't know if I could have done this on my own. I am a highly experienced and intelligent user, I have been around forever, been there and done that, seen untold number of sites and forums, and I am telling you - this place is not nice and friendly. Again, if this company is going to continue to thrive, it must change or else run a chance of losing it all to somebody else who will.
    Everything here smacks of the kind of attitude that has brought many companies down. I don't want to see if happen here.
