Add bookmarks to pdf file using Excel VBA

Good morning -
I have, through internet searches, created an Excel macro that prints numerous workbooks to pdf, combines them into one file and prints that file. I have been searching for the last piece, which is adding bookmarks, but have not had any luck getting any of it to work. The following is the code that I am using to add the bookmarks -
Dim avdoc, pddoc, app As Object
Dim stFile As String
Dim btitle As Boolean
Dim PDBookmark As CAcroPDBookmark
stFile = "D:\Test\Test.pdf"
Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avdoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Set pddoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
pddoc.Open stFile
Set avdoc = pddoc.OpenAVDoc(stFile)
Set PDBookmark = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDBookmark", "")
app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Test Bookmark")
This code does insert a bookmark on the first page of the document. The bookmark title displays as Untitled instead of Test Bookmark as the code states. Can someone answer the following questions -
1. Why is the code not changing the bookmark from Untitled to Test Bookmark, and
2. How would I nodify the above code to go to a certain page then enter the bookmark.
All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Good morning Reinhard -
Thanks you very much for the help. I implemented as follows:
1. app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.GetByTitle(pddoc, "Untitled")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Total Accessories / Hardgoods")
I added the "btitle =" due to it erroring out. However, when I step through the code and get to that line, I get the "Excel has encountered an error and needs to close" error. Is there a reference that I'm missing that you know of?
2. I was able to find the code to get to a specific page number and it is working great.
Thanks again for all of your assistance.

Add Bookmark in PDF File

Hi,
I have to add bookmark in pdf file, i tried so many ways. But no use.
i have a PDf with full text information, i want to add few text (Some words with in the PDF) from the content and need to add them in bookmark. i know i can add manulay but my pdf has 1000 to 2000 pages. so manual process is not easy. Is it any possible way to do in java?
if we need i can get all the word in separate file too. can i read the word from another file and can i add them as a bookmark?
for example, conside the below text which is available in my PDF. from this i want to add few word which is available in BOLD letters.
Delta Enterprises said it would contact the customers who bought 600,000 of these cribs to send them additional parts to make the mechanism safer.
+The other 985,000 cribs under recall, made in Indonesia and Taiwan, use safety pegs in the gate mechanism that customers must install.+
+The recall is one of the largest in US history and follows another recall of 2,000 cribs, also made in China, which was issued by the CPSC on Thursday. A five-month-old infant suffocated after being trapped between the mattress and the crib side and prompted the recall Playkids USA cribs.+
hope i explained clearly.
Please help me.. im struggling lot...
Thanks in advance.

It is, but only if you do it using a script, not through the built-in "Open a web link"-action. Add a "Run a JavaScript"-action with this code:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
Of course, you can change the URL to whatever you want.

Can i add watermarks to PDF files using the PDF Pack?

Hi Susannah,
Adobe PDF Pack does not allow you to edit a PDF file. For that, you would need Acrobat. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days: see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

Why are bookmarks generated intermittently when PDF created using EXCEL VBA?

I have Windows 7 installed and Acrobat Pro 9 installed. There is an EXCEL application that creates PDFs successfully. Howver, bookmarks are generated sometimes and sometimes they are not generated. This happens without changing any code. I am at my wits end and would appreciate any assistance. Here is the code:

Cannot create PDF files using Excel

I'm using Acrobat PDFMaker 5.0 for Excel to convert my invoices into PDF files to send to clients but for some unknown reason it has just suddenly stopped working. It starts the conversion process OK but then freezes and just hangs. I can continue using my PC but the CPU usage shows as 100%. I end up either having to cancel the conversion or close the programme completely using task manager.
I'm afraid I'm not very computer savvy, but I really need to find a solution to this problem asap.
Please can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Make sure you've updated your Acrobat 5 to 5.0.5: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1309
You may also want to confirm whether or not this is document specific. Does a new Excel file with just a few letters typed into cell A1 convert fine? If so, you may want to uncheck the 'Enable text and reflow in tagged PDF' option within the PDFMaker preferences. I may have skewed that verbiage slightly as I haven't looked at Acrobat 5 in a VERY long time, but I recall that option sometimes causing Word and Excel conversions to hang.

How to add text to a pdf file using Access VBA??

I'm down on my hands and knees, begging. I have 300 files that I want to put a variable string at the top of the first page (centered, or at the right hand side). I am using Acrobat X and Microsoft Access 2010 and I do have the SDK and have spend over 10 hours so far searching it and the internet in general, for help and still am coming up empty handed.
I can do the looping and passing variables with my eyes closed, but I cannot get the syntax for the actual opening of the pdf and inserting the string.
I was trying to modify code I found yesterday that is supposed to add an annotation, but I don't want an annotation, I just want a string of text at the top of page 1. For now, all I want is to be successful at doing ONE file. Can someone please give me a concrete example of the code I need to use? Like I said, I'm in begging mode
Public Sub AddText()
    Dim pdDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim page As Acrobat.AcroPDPage
    Dim annot As Acrobat.AcroPDAnnot
    Dim jso As Object
    Dim strPath As String
    Dim intpoint(1) As Integer
    Dim intpopupRect(3) As Integer
    Dim props As Object
    Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    pdDoc.Open ("c:\Test\Test.pdf")
    Set page = pdDoc.AcquirePage(0)
    'Set annot = page.AddAnnot(0)
    intpoint(0) = 0
    intpoint(1) = page.GetSize.y
    intpopupRect(0) = 0
    intpopupRect(1) = page.GetSize.y - 100
    intpopupRect(2) = 200
    intpopupRect(3) = page.GetSize.y
    annot.SetColor (vbRed)
    annot.SetContents "JCPC - 22 - 2011050000001"
    pdDoc.Save 1, "c:\Test\Test.pdf"
    pdDoc.Close
    Set pdDoc = Nothing
    MsgBox "Done"
End Sub

You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
the function only takes 19. Try the following:
Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
    jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
    jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
    100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
supposed to look like.

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

Hello,
I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
on mouseUp me
pageNum = 4
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum) & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
-- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
end
Thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
The help files give the following examples:
Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
So I tried:
on mouseUp me
-- Close the program group
tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
pageNum = 4
theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
end
It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
Thanks again!

Flatten a PDF file from Excel

Flatten a PDF file from Excel
Is there any way to run a javascript to flatten a PDF document from Excel?
I’m populating a PDF form from Excel by creating a FDF file, once I finish I need to flatten it.
Is there any way to accomplish this without having Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you,
Luis Gonzalez

Reader cannot flatten a document, if that's what you're asking. A user with Acrobat installed can, in which case you can use VBA to control Acrobat. For exampe: http://www.khk.net/wordpress/2009/03/04/adobe-acrobat-and-vba-an-introduction/

Create PDF file using PL SQL

Hello All:
I have an requirement of generating a PDF file using Oracle PL SQL program. Can anyone please let me know the procedure/code of doing this?
Thanks,
k Ramesh Gupta

I have steps to generate Excel sheet output, apply appropriate content-type for PDF in the PL/SQL written below, to get the same in PDF. i suppose it should be application/pdf
1. Create a custom DAD if required using Enterprise Manager Console of MidTier for HTTP Server or use Portal DAD itself to implement the solution.
2. Create a new procedure (a webdb solution) to stream the HTML for the excel sheet report which will be downloaded.
a. Login to Portal schema through SQL*Plus or the respective DAD based schema if custom DAD is created. (below example is created in custom DAD - 'scott').
SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE generateCsv
as
cursor p_emp is select * from PORTAL_DEMO.EMP;
begin
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/vnd.ms-excel', False ); -- Here change the content-type to PDF Format accordingly
htp.print('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="pvasista.csv"');
owa_Util.Http_Header_Close;
for v_emp_cur in p_emp
LOOP
htp.p (v_emp_cur.ename || ',' || v_emp_cur.deptno || chr(13));
END LOOP;
end;
SQL> grant execute on generateCsv to public;
For education purpose getting the report of employee and deptno of al employees from PORTAL_DEMO.EMP table. Implement the necessary query/ Business Logic accordingly.
b. Now access http://midtier_host:port/pls/dad_name/generateCsv, will download a .csv based excel file report as shown in the screenshot below,
3. Open the Portal Page where the link is to be added, createa URL Item Link and add the above URL, select option "Open in new browser window"
4. It can also be enhanced to have filtering enabled on the report by using Portal Form using Option, "Form based on stored procedure" and selecting the above stored procedure.

How to embed and open PDF files within excel

I constantly need to embed PDF files onto Excel documents as well as extract/open/view PDF files from Excel documents.

Is there a software i can buy or setting that i can do so that i can embed and open PDF files easily as i need to view these files multiple times a day for work.
please advise

Download and install Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Open the PDF file using it. If security restrictions don't prevent it you could also print it.

Getting "Cannot Insert Object" message while attaching .pdf file to excel spreadsheet.

While I am trying to attach an adobe (.pdf) file in excel spreadsheet I am getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
I am following the below mentioned steps and getting message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
Open the adobe (.pdf) file from IE browser.
While saving the adobe file on local machine it gives warning as “This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Pro 9 or Pro Extended 9. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?” On pressing "OK" it successfully saves the file on my local machine.
While I Tried to attach the saved adobe file in a spreadsheet of excel it gives message as “Cannot Insert Object”.
Does any one have any thoughts at all as to how to solve this?

Deepika,
The alert dialog your screen shot depicts will only display if there is some kind of form annotation present in a PDF that is not "Reader Enabled".
Look closer at your 'final' PDF.
A PDF, not "Reader Enabled", that contains any form annotations will, when opened by Adobe Reader,
result in the alert dialog that you mention. A "hard wired" default.
Note that the forms document message bar can be "off" by a selection in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Preferences.
Select the 'Forms' category. Select "Always hide forms document message bar".
Be well...

PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/
