Export Excel to forms Adobe Acrobat

I searched for this since it seems like a common question. I found add on programs on a google and the reverse questions on this forum.
I have a lengthy excel sheet that I want to get into Acrobat Pro and have it recognize the cells so that I don't have to create the cells one by one in a form. Its just an order form with 10 columns and I want them to be able to fill in the rows with inventory according to the column headers.
Is there an easy way to do this? Form Wizard didn't recognize the cells.

There are several ways. One is to use OLE to interact with Forms. Look up OLE in the online help.

  • Excel to .pdf/ Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Forms - whatever may work best and easiest

    If we can, how, create excel formulas in either pdf or adobe acrobat or adobe forms. Something that will work in same way as it would in excel.

    Thank you for your advices.
    I already download Acrobat SDK before, but it's really complicated for someone who know only VBA at intermediate level.
    I really plan to learn javascripts and COM in future, but I was thinking that if I ask you for I guess easy think (opening files and saving them to pdf) you will help by giving similar code or some clues.
    Anyway I found  this two methods in documentation: PDDoc.Save and PDDoc.Open and I believe that a combination of them can finally help me. Do you know how I can connect them to one part?

  • Exporting comments from PDF-Adobe Acrobat 9 not compatible with MS Word. Any solution?

    Hi guys
    Has anybody solved this problem? Adobe Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Word 2010. Is there any alternate solution to export the comments?
    thanks
    PS

    For MS Office 2010 applications have Acrobat X on board.

  • Keynote 08 Flash Export not compatible with Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

    Hello
    Our company uses Keynote extensively for presentations. We also give presentations online using Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional (hosted, formerly known as Macromedia Breeze - <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/>). Where as it's a great environment for online seminars (best I've seen), it fails dramatically when you upload a looping Flash file created in Keynote. I first tried this in Keynote '06 and now in '08.
    When I tried in Keynote 06, the animation was three slides looping, synced to an audio track. When I tried in '08, it was one slide with (the new) animations looping over 20 seconds (or so) without a soundtrack.
    I have some contact with Adobe, and this issue has been sent to their engineering department, but they seem to think there's something funky about the format of the file that Keynote exports. I'm trying to gather more data for them to investigate with.
    Does anyone know what version of Flash Apple's export is most like? Do we have any specs on the file export format?
    Has anyone tried using Flash exports in other Flash-using online environments?
    Thanks!
    ~brian

    I believe I figured it was somewhere between Flash 5 and Flash 6. I say this because while the resulting presentations could be opened in QuickTime (which only uses Flash 5) a better result would be achieved by viewing in the browser. Either that, or QuickTime's Flash 5 support isn't complete.

  • Pictures in PDF Forms (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9)

    Hello everyone,
    I have a situation where I need two drop downs determine which picture to display.  I have been reading on this topic and see that the best solution (that I have come across) would be to make a button into a picture and toggle the visibility with some if statements allowing only the picture I want to be visible given the condition of the two drop downs.  This is simple enough.  However, I don't know how to turn a button into a picture!  Is it that my Acrobat Pro is too old (9)?  Please help, I need to have this ironed out in the next couple days and have no problem buying a newer version if I need to.  Please be very specific, I am an electrical engineer creating an ad hoc solution; so my coding is not as top notch as most people's here, whom I assume are mostly computer developers of some sort.  Best,
    -Steve

    On the Options tab of the button properties dialog, set the Layout to something other than "Label only" (e.g., Icon only). You can then clock the "Choose Icon" button to select a source for the button appearance. It can be a page from an existing PDF or anything else Acrobat knows how to convert to PDF, such as an image.

  • My adobe acrobat forms do not load correctly. I have uptodate version of that software.

    I am an immigration attorney and have an online immigration program I use daily. Since the last upgrade of Firefox, the immigration forms (adobe acrobat) for my clients do not load correctly. I get a message that the forms may not display correctly with an option to open with a different viewer. The form opens correctly if I choose this option, but the form does not allow me to add and save information to the client's file so it is of no use to me. if this cannot be corrected I will stop using Firefox.

    hello, firefox 19 has introduced its own integrated pdf viewer - if you want to switch back to the plugin you've used before to view pdfs just go to firefox options > applications & define the default action for the ''portable document format (pdf)''.

  • Playing inserted avi files in Adobe Acrobat 9 or later

    A user has inserted avi files into Adobe and it always worked up to version 8.1.
    Any version later than that, the avi files will not play anymore.
    Is there any way to make them play or will all his files need converted to another source?
    Converting them all to a different format would be quite the task as there are many videos involved.
    Thanks, Jeff

  • How to uninstall trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro from a mac?

    I installed a trial version Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Creative Cloud list on my Mac Pro 10.7.5. First, although I was supposed to have a 30 day free trial, it expired immediately. Worse, every time I try to open my former Adober Acrobat, I get prompted to buy a yearly subscription to Acrobat pro and cannot use my older version. I have tried various ways to uninstall the Acrobat Pro version and to get back to normal, with no success. Anyone out there to help or must I spend money on an international call to ask Adobe what to do? It seems that they have shut down their "chat" service. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Robert

    This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:

    If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
    If that fails try the AE forum.

  • Sending Excel(.xls) to Adobe Pdf Printer causes a DDE Error

    Hi everybody!
    I have a problem with printing excel documents with Adobe Acrobat 7. Well actually its not me but a custommer of mine using a programm i have written. The programm starts a printing process for each document in a directory. This works fine for most of them. There are hundreds of xls files in this directory. There are only troubles with 3 or 4 of them. Every time i call one of this documents excel wants to open the xls file and print it over the default printer, in this case Adobe Pdf. But Excel is unable to open the file. The Error message only tells me that it seems to be a Problem with DDE and that i should check the length of the filename. Google told me that Excel is able to open files with a filenam up to 218 signs. The filenames of the files i try to print is only up to a 100 or max 150 signs( directory path included!).
    Is there anyone with an idea what may causes this problem. I need help. really.

    I think if the problem is with opening the file you may want to find a
    forum where Excel programming is discussed.

  • Export rich text from Adobe Form to MS Word or MS Excel

    Hi,
    I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It consists of some text fields, where formatting of the text is important. I have chosen allow rich text formatting in the textfield and that works fine. Export to Excel via .csv works fine, but formatting is of course lost.
    I will receive many forms back, and would like to automate as much of the process as possible. My question is if there is any way to do a batch export of a certain text field including the formatting to either MS word or Excel?
    An alternative might be to export only the specific text field from all collected forms to a one PDF File and copy paste this into word.
    If I can get this to work, everything should work as planned.
    Sorry if this has been asked before. Have done numerous searches, so far without result.
    Best regards,
    mlang1111

    Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.
