  • Cannot open PDFs inserted as objects into Excel.

    Two-part question.  I know this has been addressed before, but the solutions are not working for me.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Reader XI.  When inserting a PDF document as an object into Excel, it will not allow me to insert the icon/object from the "Create New" option.  I get one of two error messages: 'Cannot insert object'  or 'Cannot start the soruce application for this object'.  I am able to insert the PDF icon/object if I insert from the "Create from file" option. (Please note I cannot always link to the PDF, as some spreadsheets are sent out externally and will not have access.)
    Once I am finally able to insert the document as an object, I can open and view the PDF.  However, when I close the spreadsheet and re-open it, if I try to open the PDF document again, I get this error message again: 'Cannot start the soruce application for this object'.
    I have changed my preference to disable the Protected Mode at startup and this issue is still happening.  VERY frustrating.  I never encountered this is past versions of Adobe and all previous suggestions are not fixing the issue.  Does anyone have any insight or know of an update to fix this issue?  Is this an Adobe issue or a Microsoft Office issue?

  • Excel File Management Apache POI HSSF vs. jxl jar

    I've been reviewing Java technologies for managing Excel files, and I'm a little confused about the differences between Apache's POI HSSF implementation and JExcelApi, and utimately what technology it makes sense to use.
    They are both open source, although POI is backed by Apache, where JExcelApi seems to be open source developed by Andy Khan. It seem Apache has a little more weight, therefore may be a better option.
    Can someone who has exposure to these technologies please provide me with some insight.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply,
    Now I hav used an alternate approach of using Apache POI.
    But.......
    I have created simple table in jsp and set content type to
    <%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
    when i navigate to this jsp it is getting displayed in excel format.
    I wish if user clicks on to navigate for this jsp, he must get an option to either open, save or cancel the jsp.
    Then on selecting save a dialogue gets appeared where he can select path and file name.
    Please comment.
    Thanks.

  • Can I process Excel BIFF5 files, or simply abandon Apache POI?

    To the experienced:
    I am totally new to processing Microsoft Excel files using Java, and embarked on Apache POI. Now it seems I could be completely out of luck because of the Excel files I am to process.
    Now looking back, I realize that what I did with the Excel file I first received (a .xls file) was opening it in Excel 2007 and clicked the Save button. And it was all OK learning POI by processing that file. Now after all the work I have done with that file, I trashed it and got a copy of the original Excel file - as is, without first loading it in Excel 2007 and saving it - and run my java program on it. And I got the following error message talking about BIFF5 and BIFF8:
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18\bin\javaw.exe -client -classpath
    C:\apps11113\JavaExercise\.adf;C:\apps11113\JavaExercise\Basic\classes;C:\java_lib\poi-3.7\poi-3.7-20101029.jar
    -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\DemoTrust.jks learnjava.ExcelTest2
    Exception in thread "main" org.apache.poi.hssf.OldExcelFormatException: The supplied spreadsheet seems to be Excel 5.0/7.0 (BIFF5) format.
    POI only supports BIFF8 format (from Excel versions 97/2000/XP/2003)
    My program, when put into production, will run on schedule and unattended, and will have to process the file as is. Am I out of luck and have to look for some other APIs that support BIFF5? Are there such APIs?
    Many thanks for helping!

Are there such APIs?I'm pretty sure that OpenOffice will. One test you could do is try to open your 5.0 file in OpenOffice, save it as an Excel 97/2000 file (+don't+ delete your original :-) ) and check to make sure that everything is working as expected, and then see if your POI program can process that.
    If it works, you could try downloading the OpenOffice SDK. It's also possible that something like jodConverter could do the job for you (it looks a lot easier to use), but you'd need to check their website.

  • Using Apache POI 3.2 to create hyperlinks in Excel

    Hello,
    I am new to Java.
    I have written a program that accesses Excel with the Apache POI version 3.2.
    All seems to work until I tried to insert a Hyperlink to a file on the local drive.
    I followed the quick start guide from Apache POI.
    It provides the following code but Java does not appear to find the "createHelper".
    //link to a file in the current directory
    cell = sheet.createRow(1).createCell((short)0);
    cell.setCellValue("File Link");
    link = createHelper.createHyperlink(Hyperlink.LINK_FILE);
    link.setAddress("link1.xls");
    cell.setHyperlink(link);
    cell.setCellStyle(hlink_style);
    Any ideas on how to insert a Hyperlink into Excel would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to read .XLSX files using org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.* classes

    Hello,
    I want to read in excel files to a JTable. I was able to read in .xls files, but have problems reading .xlsx files. Maybe there is something i need to add to the following code:
    FileInputStream iStream = new FileInputStream(newFile);
    POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(iStream);
    Workbook wb1 = WorkbookFactory.create(fs);
    Sheet sheet = wb1.getSheetAt(0);       // get the first sheet data
    // Iterate over each row in the sheet
      Iterator rows = sheet.rowIterator();
       while(rows.hasNext()) {
          Row row = (Row) rows.next();
          .............The compiler is complaining about the 3rd line: Workbook wb1 = WorkbookFactory.create(fs);
    Thanks.

    @ejp:
    I quite agree with you. It's a runtime exception -
    org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.OfficeXmlFileException: The supplied data appears to be in the Office 2007+ XML. You are calling the part of POI that deals with OLE2 Office Documents. You need to call a different part of POI to process this data (eg XSSF instead of HSSF)I've tried searching before coming here to ask. HSSF processes .xls files only, XSSF processes .xlsx files only while SS is supposed to read both .xls and .xlsx files. Maybe there's anyone that has used it before who can help out.
    Thanks

  • Cannot Insert Object in Excel 2013

    I am having trouble inserting PDF's in Excel 2013. I go to Insert-->Object-->Create from File then browse to the PDF and select the checkbox for "Display as Icon." After doing this i get a generic error message that says "Cannot Insert Object." No other details.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 x64
    Office 2013 x64
    Adobe Reader X and XI. Tried them both.
    What I have tried:
    The most common answer I have found was to disable the enhanced security in the Adobe Reader preferences. This does not help.
    I also tried downgrading from Adobe Reader XI to Reader x, disabling enhanced security. That does not work either.
    I have found a workaround in Excel by going to Insert-->Package and doing it that way, but it does not show the Adobe Reader icon in the spreadsheet when it's done. If there's a way to use this method and still have the adobe icon that'd be great.
    I called Microsoft support and they think this is an Adobe issue, because I can insert other things via the create from file method, just not PDF's.
    Other notes:
    The Insert-->Object-->Create from File method works fine in Excel 2010 so I think that Adobe Reader doesn't do well with Excel 2013.
    I need the inserted PDF's in spreadsheets to look a certain way. They must have the Adobe Icon and I need to be able to change the text below the icon.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Update:
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried a different PDF reader and the insert in Excel works fine. I really would prefer to use Adobe though. This leads me to believe that maybe it's just a setting or something in Adobe reader. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Inserting an Image in Excel with POI HSSF

    Has anyone been successful creating an Excel document with an
    embedded image using POI HSSF?
    Create a nicely formatted Excel is no, problem - but I can't
    seem to figure the image part out. I am not calling the loadPicture
    correctly, which is confusing CF.
    <cfset patriarch = newSheet.createDrawingPatriarch()/>
    <cfset patriarch.createPicture(createObject("java",
    "org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFClientAnchor").init(),
    loadPicture("asset/images/logo_e2eA.png",

    You did not mention which version of POI. Did you verify your
    version supports the patriarch.createPicture method? If you are
    using a really old version it might not.
    > loadPicture("asset/images/logo_e2eA.png",
    workSheet))/>
    Does the code actually have access to a loadPicture() method
    or function? I think loadPicture() is a private method in one of
    the example classes: org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.examples.*. So
    you may have to write your own version of it. Assuming you have not
    done so already...

    Hi Ricardo_Lorenzo,
    Whether to go for Multiserver instances or Single server, is totally a user requirement based decison. If a user has Single website, or multiple websites (of the same nature, in terms of functionality), usually the part of same domain, then they would go for Single sever installation. One single instance will handle the requests from all the websites (if there are multiple). There would not be a clustering/failover setup within ColdFusion and can use the ColdFusion Standard or Enterprise version.
    On the other hand, if a user has multiple websites, all with different functionality and have multiple applications (may or may not) running, then they can go for Multiserver installation. Each website can be configured with individual instances. Clustering can be done within ColdFusion if needed. One would need an Enterprise license of ColdFusion for the same.
    Hope this helps.
