Exporting an Pdf file to Excell while retaining the structure

Hi
I have a bunch of archival inventories on which I ran OCR. When trying to export them as excell documents the structure was lost.
The structure is always the same and I am wondering wether there is a script I could write and run before the export in order to retain the structure.
Or for instance could I create a structures excell document and make the export match it? I did try the auto export with Acrobat Pro X1 and it is a disaster with such documents I am pretty sure it works well in other instances.
As I am looking for specific type of archival materials (inventories, wills, sales..) I need to be able to count them and retrieve the info attached to them in the inventory.
Typically an inventory line would be as follow
Calendro,            Francisco                                June 8,1780               P-400   being the page number in the actual notarial book

I would suggest that there may be something in JavaScript that would help. However, for an individual file you can use the alt key during selection to select a table. There are also some options to try to recognize a table, but it works better if it is tagged -- not something you get from a scan.
I just did OCR to an image of an excel sheet. I was not able to save as tables in Excel with a message that no table could be found. This is where the tags would come in. I tried adding tags (in AA9 this is under Advanced>Accessibility), but it did not help.
I was able to select each column with the Select Text and Images tool. To select a column, hold down the alt key as you use the cursor for selection. You can copy the column to a spread sheet and repeat it for each column. This is cumbersome, but does the job. It may be that you can you JavaScript to select text in a window and copy it to an Excel file. I am going beyond my skill set, but suggestion what might be possible. In the meantime, you can work with the individual files.
Good luck.

How to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file?

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file into word but it is not fully editable. I can edit the title from the main page and that's it. The rest of the word document is saved as image. I tried editing teh pdf file but that one is not working either.
Please help on how to convert a PDF file into a full editable WORD file.
Thank you

Not all PDF files are created equal. When a PDF file is created with Adobe Tools it is usually "tagged" with information about the fonts the images, the layout etc... This way when the PDF is saved to a new format like PPT or DOC then the results are usually usable. However, if you have a PDF file that was not tagged for some reason then run the Accessibility tools on the PDF to acquire some basic tagging. This may get you a better result. Also if you have a PDF that is an image, then you may want to run OCR on it.

How to convert from xml file to html using java code

How to convert from xml file to html file using java code

Get yourself Apache Xalan or Saxon or some XSLT processor
String styleSheet = "/YourXSLTStylesheet.xsl";
String dataSource = "/YourXMLDocument.xml";
InputStream stylesheetSource = TransformMe.class.getResourceAsStream(styleSheet);
InputStream dataSourceStream = TransformMe.class.getResourceAsStream(dataSource);
OutputStream transformedOut = new FileOutputStream("filename.html");
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(stylesheetSource));
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(dataSourceStream), new StreamResult(transformedOut));You'll also need to learn XSLT if you don't already know that. Here's a good place to start

How to convert a pdf file into RTF format or Doc Format

Hello
I need to convert a pdf file into a rtf file or doc file.
But i need to do this with a command line or with the api of acrobat.
My version is adobe acrobat 9 standard.
Is it possible to do this?
So i see there's a convert pdf online.
Is it possible to use this whith a web service?
The final file (RTF or doc) must be analyse into an application
Best regards

Look at the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
You can save to other formats when you include the corresponding cConvID parameter. It can be used in a batch sequence, but you'll need the Pro version for that.

When saving a PDF file, it saves multiple of the exact same documents, why/or how do I change those settings?

This might help - I'm not sure:
Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Click "General" and check "Always close windows when quitting an application."

How to convert to PDF file?

I am not sure how to convert FHMX file to PDF file and have
no idea which software to install PDF converter in FHMX.
Should I install Postscript Printer Driver (
http://www.adobe.com/products/printerdrivers/index.html)
on Window XP in order to convert FHMX file to PDF file? I may not
have Adobe Illustrator software to convert FHMX file to PDF file.
Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

There is PDF available in the Export dialog. Note that it is
good for viewin documents on screen etc. and it is NOT reliable
enough for print production!!!
Export tp PDF Error thread had this information (by Judy
Arndt)
Read through this technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_13496
---quote---
When exporting PDF files from FreeHand, users should be
aware that:
- Alpha channel transparency will be lost.
- Placed EPS, PICT and DCS files will not be exported.
- Custom, textured and PostScript fills and strokes are not
supported.
- PostScript-generated screens (halftone, line, etc.) applied
to bitmap
graphics will be ignored.
- The PDF format is limited to a maximum page size of roughly
45 inches by
45 inches. PDF will ignore anything outside of this boundary,
cropping
whatever is taller or wider than 45 inches.
- All text effects will be ignored, except inline graphics.
- All overprinting effects will be ignored.

With Postscript printer driver you can create a print file
which some printing houses can use but they rather take a pdf file.
So ask for advice.
Although Illustrator can export pdf files (better than FH but
not without problems) the 'real' PDF creation tool is Adobe Acrobat
(Pro). Acrobat Viewer is free but to crate, edit and preflight
(check) pdf files you'll need to purchase full version with Acrobat
Distiller. In Windows it installs as a printer and creating pdf is
like printing to another printer. If you make pdf files frequently
for print it may be a good investment, especially because its
preflighting and editing features.
There are other cheaper or even free (?) pdf creation tools
but I would not use them in print production without having a
preflight tool.

Hello,
For converting xml file to html, we could refer to the way shared in the following thread which uses an XSLT stylesheet to transform the XML into another format using the
XslTransform class.

How to turn a pdf file into excel document and keep original format

I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF And once in a while i need to add something to it I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to fix this If not this will be useless to me any help appreciated

A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
No "format", columns, rows, etc.
"When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."

Using my PC Desktop I am trying to convert a PDF file to excel. When the data is imported to Excel the majority of the data is vertical in the far left colum.

I am trying to import a PDF file from my desktop PC in to Excel using XI Pro. When the data imports in to excel, the majority of the data is vertical along the far left comumn instead of horizonal along the colums such as name, address, etc. I need to be able to import the data in to the horizonal categories so I can categorize the data after it is in excel. Thanks.

Hi johnc,
I'm sorry to hear that your file didn't convert well for you. Can you please tell me more about the PDF that you're trying to convert? Do you know how it was created? The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF, and it sounds like the file you have may not include the tagging information that is required to convert that properly into an Excel file. Would you be willing to share that file with me? If so, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
Best,
Sara

How do i move pdf files from my macbook to the iCloud

I have 3000 pdf files on my macbook. How do I move or copy them to the icloud?

I haven't found any native Apple solutions to this dilemma, but I believe that third-party developers will soon take up the slack and make iCloud into a much more flexible and full-featured solution. I also suspect that Apple will add more features and possibly a new version of iDisk, or something similar to it, before iDisk goes away next June.
As a good example of third-party developers coming to the table with solutions, the latest version of the iOS app GoodReader has been updated to use the iCloud sync features. You can open, store, and edit PDF files and they'll automatically sync with GoodReader on all other devices. Documents are stored in iCloud and will also sync with any Mac that is setup to sync with iCloud. The Mac will automatically have a folder where you can open synced files or add new files from your Mac. details of how to do this are in the GoodReader help files.
Note: I have no affiliation with GoodReader other than as a happy customer.
