Can you do a vlookup in a pdf file coming from an Excel file?

The Excel file has the data that needs to populate a pdf file which is Adobe Write. It has fields you can write in but can you do a VLookup to pull in data from an Excel file? Thank you

Also turn UAC to the lowest setting changes nothing.
Alas, you have found that UAC cannot be disabled from the user interface in Windows 8 any longer. It can just be turned down to the "run my software as a lowly user, but escalate without prompting" level.
It is possible, as a "To Work" option, to truly disable UAC but you have to do it the old way that was necessary with Vista before they caved and provided the UI to do it. But bear this in mind: If you DO disable UAC (and I mean really
disable it), you lose the ability to run Metro applications. That's right, they just won't run.
Personally I find that a bonus.

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How can you insert "Page Break" in a pdf file so you will specify the pages

How / from what was the PDF originally created? It would be easiest to insert page breaks into the original document, then recreate the PDF.

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Hello saradianapasik,
If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Sure, but as the saying goes, you need an app for that.

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

How can you get the keypad on a USB keyboard to work in Excel for Mac. Mouse keys is disabled/unchecked, but cannot get it to work. Even tried downloading a 'num lock' app and it didn't help.

Hi Michael-
I do not have any problem with using shift registers in timed loops. What version of LabVIEW are you using? Can you please elaborate on why neither shift registers or local variables meet your needs? I have attached a VI that saves a previous iteration and then computes and displays the difference. Let me know if you have problems running it.
Thanks-

Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

No settings adjustments.
The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
Without that links are "broken"
You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
Be well...

Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

How can I create multiple QR Codes from an Excel File?

Hi there,
I am currently trying to set up business cards with a QR Code on the back of each card. Therefore I have an excel spreadsheet, which contains all the data necessary for the business card like name, function, e-mail adress,... the data is then filled in automatically by using the standard function with tags for each column (e.g. table column name is filled in as <<name>> in the specific location on the business card and once executed it is matched with the data from the excel file).
Is there anything which could help me to automate the personalization of the QR Codes?
All the best

For free? Not at the moment. CC does have the ability to create QR codes but only one at a time. In CS6 (perhaps earlier versions?), regular poster/advanced scripter Jongware devised a script to prepare a QR code but again, could only do one at a time.
However, someone did build on Jongware's QR code to do this from an InDesign file that had the necessary information in tagged text boxes and would prepare QR codes accordingly. However, it would leave them in the InDesign file (e.g. not separate EPS/PDFs).
So, a long workaround would be:
install the script and read the thread on the adobe forums (jongware's QR code plus the additional improvement): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4787823#4787823
data merge the current data into the indesign file using the similar structure as the fourth poster in that post had written
once all the QR codes are written, create a PDF of the file and then use one of various methods to break up the PDF into single page files: http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-indesign-files-into-i ndividual-pdfs-that-is/
It's a lot of work to generate multiple QR codes. A paid solution offered by either Meadows DPS or Woodwing (two companies I have no affiliation with whatsoever) or any other plug-in provider for that matter: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/indepth.displayTab3.html may be an alternative that is worth pursuing.

How can I import contacts into my icloud contacts from an excel file?

I need to add contacts to my icloud contact data base. Can I import from an Excel file?
Thanks,

Not directly, export from Excel to a .csv file, then convert the .csv file to a .vcf (vCard) file. Then iCloud can import the vCard file.
Here is a free csv to vcard conversion utility.

How can you change individual words in a PDF using javascript?

Hi,
I am trying to do some simple text replacement in a PDF file using Acrobat. Specifically, I want to do some simple transliteration of words or partial transliteration. For instance, I would like to change a word like "red" to "ρed". This is to help me get used to the Greek alphabet step by step.
Anyway, I downloaded Acrobat and there is no feature to do a single letter search and replace -- only word replacement. I have a Computer Science degree and decided to investigate the javascript capabilities to see if I can make those a simple letter replacement script. However, I have gotten to the point where I can cycle through every word in the PDF (using functions like getPageNthWord), and I can make a replacement on the string returned using something like: val.replace(/r/, "ρ"). However, I don't know how to replace the word in the PDF file....such as with a hypothetical function setPageNthWord (which does not exit). I have found the online documentation very thin on this, and I am scratching my head. Perhaps, it is something to do with the PDF format that I do not understand. So, is there a way to simply change text of a PDF file, like I am asking? All I am looking for is simple script to change a letter to another across a PDF.
thanks if you can help
Justin

JS can't edit the text in a PDF file directly. There are workarounds, like
using a redaction with overlay text or simply placing a new field or
annotation on top of the old text with the new one, but they are all far
from perfect and won't cause a "reflow" of the document, so if the two
texts are not of the same length the result will look odd. Also there's the
issue of which font to use (font family, color, size, etc.), which JS can't
know so you'll have to tell it.

Can you save print settings with a PDF?

I have an 8.5"x14" PDF. Is there anyway to save default print settings with this PDF so if a user opens it on their machine it defaults to printing to 8.5"x14" paper? Right now it always defaults to the standard 8.5"x11". I'm not sure this can be done because it seems like more of a specific users machine thing. I don't think you can save print settings with a PDF can you?
Thanks!

The "auto-formatting" of a hardcopy print format is generally the realm of the output device, in this case the printer. Printer software gereally includes an auto-format feature that selects the proper bin. For those who only have a "letter" tray, it usually asks to feed the right format manually, or switch trays. This is not a PDF feature but an output device feature.
Hope this helps.

Can you change the format when converting pdf to excel?

example. I'm trying to export a PDF file to excel. However, the PDF file isn't in a table/spreadsheet format so when it exports to excel, I can't sort at all. It doesn't convert into any sortable columns. Is there a way to change the format on the convert? Or is that an edit in excel?

Hi, jsking.
I'm sorry for the issues you're having. Without seeing your file, it will be difficult to diagnosis your issue. Can you send us a copy of your PDF file via this form and we can take a look? In the form, include a link to this forum conversation, so we have this additional context.
You may be able to do some post-editing in Excel to copy the data into sortable columns. OR, you may want to try first exporting the PDF to Word and then copying/pasting the data from Word into Excel - it's possible that may give you a better result.
But with a little more information, we may be able to help you more.
Dave
