Cant create adobe files from multiple excel or word files

This is the first time I have placed anything on this forum so please forgive me if I am in the wrong p
lace.  I have been frustrated by an error message I get when I try to convert multiple excel files or word files to
PDF.  The files exist on a network location, and when I select 5 or 6 at random
and then right click and choose "Convert to PDF", the operation bombs with a message that reads:
"The file you selected does not contain any data (zero length file).  Please select another file."  I can
not find anything on this on Adobe's website, or google.  I used to d
o it fine until a few days ago, now it won't convert and I get the above message.  Anybody have any idea?  I a
m using Windows XP SP3 and Office 2007 SP1.  Thanks
Steve Szabo

I can copy these files to the local drive and do the operation fine.  I can also convert files that are already on the hard drive.
  Just cannot convert the ones that are in the network location.  I used to be able to do it, but not now.

  • Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

    Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

    If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples :  LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
    Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

  • Help required in creating a dimension from an excel sheet

    Hello all ,
    We have a new requirement ,where we need to create a Dimension from an excel sheet. I tried creating it from a . csv file. But , I am not sure how to set the across, down statement ( if any) . The procedure is able to peek the data from the excel sheet. But , it says that the dimension member is not a selected member of variables. We have not created any variable yet. The transcript of the procedure is below :
    remove dimension MODULE
    ACCESS EXTERNAL
    USE 'C:\module.csv'
    DESCRIPTION FREE ,
    peek only 5
    read
    BEGIN
    construct MODULE
    level MODULE_CD
    label MODULE_DESC
    preface "custom 5 allocate 1000,30,1"
    END
    end
    compile dimension MODULE
    Please advise
    Thanks and Regards
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    I believe you should be identifying the fields you have in your csv file, in your case MODULE_CD and MODULE_DESC:
    DESCRIPTION FREE ,
    MODULE_CD text 10
    MODULE_DESC text 20
    Can you try that to see if it makes a difference?
    Regards!

  • Using ME57 to create an RFQ from multiple lines on multiple PRs

    When using ME57 to create RFQs how can I select multiple line items from multiple purchase requisitions to turn into a single RFQ. If I select multiple lines and then use 'RFQ with Vendor', it only selects one line item.  After further research it appears that you can only create only line at a time (very time consuming). 
    If you use ME41 and create with reference to PR then you can not sort or filter columns to allow for easy consolidation.
    Another forum recommended the following when using ME57 which works but it again adds extra steps to the process.
         The whole process is as follows -
         1) When you are in the 'Assign and Process Purchase Requisition' screen, select related PR and then click on 'Without Vendor' icon to flag all PRs for RFQ processing.
         2) Select these PRs again and click further on 'Assignment Overview' icon (Shift and F5). The next screen will appear - Assign and Process requisitions - Overview of Assignments screen.
         3) Select the 'PReq' column and then click further on 'Process Assignment' icon (F2). The next screen will appear where you have to maintain the 'quotation deadline' information.
         4) Then click on 'Continue' icon (enter).
    [http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=198768]
    So is there any way to either 1) enable sorting of data in ME41 or 2) use ME57 to create one RFQ from multiple line items of multiple purchase requisitions when selecting 'RFQ with Vendor'.

    What is the JPEG specs? What are the specs of the project you're working in?

  • Do I need multicam in order to create a movie from multiple cameras?

    Do I need multicam in order to create a movie from multiple cameras? The old fashioned way is just to simply put multiple video clips into multiple video tracks in Final Cut, right? Then I can transition the tracks as I see fit.
    Multicam in Final Cut Pro simply improves upon this by hard synching timecodes right?
    As an amateur, do I really need multicam features in Final Cut Pro in order to make a movie from multiple camera angles?

    Will it make your editing tasks more efficient? Not
    likely. Multicam is an advanced feature of FCP. It
    requires knowing how most of the application's basic
    operations are performed.
    I have to disagree with bog in that multicam is all about efficiency and being able to quickly set-up and edit what could normally take a lot longer. But he is totally correct in that it is a strange set-up with some strange behaviors so if you don't know what you're doing and plan accordingly it could take a lot longer and be a lot more frustrating than the 'old fashioned' way.
    I think it's also important to note that multi-cam is way more than just the "real time" switching of the multiclip in the viewer as it plays back. If you can take time to learn the ins and outs of multi-cam then you can use some features on some jobs and other features at other times. An amateur can do anything that the FCP software because it's there in front of you so play play play!

    Hi,
    how to create an invoice from multiple sales doc.
    thanx,
    sourav

    hello, friend.
    assuming that your settings in VTFA and VTFL allow, you can create 1 invoice for many sales orders or deliveries by using VF04.  choose all documents that apply and click "collective billing document". 
    you can also click on "simulation" if you want to test if the combination is possible and the system will give you a split analysis if this is not possible.

  • Cant create hierarchy FILE load for 0GL_ACCOUNT

    Hi guys i have a special Question......we are trying to create a file load hierarchy source for 0GL_ACCOUNT, in BC i cant find any FILE type infosource or datasource.....in source systems FILE i cant create a datasource for hierarchy and in the hierarchy infosource appears a message that the infosource is already mapped to DEVFILE because theres an infosource FILE type for load master data...
    I cant create a file load hierarchy infoosurce for 0GL_ACCOUNT
    Regards

    Are you using the flexible or direct update?  This will only work with Direct Update since you can only load a data target/infoprovider using the flexible update and a hierarchy is never an infoprovider.
    For example, if you make your characteristic and infoprovider.  The Attrib and Text infoproviders show up under the infoprovider tab.  However, the Hierarchies don't.
    So, here is a step-by-step solution you can follow ...
    1.) Under Infosources tab, find your characteristic.  You need to find the infosource for direct update.  It will have the three icons ... one for attributes, texts and hierarchies.  If you don't see the green hierarchy icon, then you need to turn hierarchies on for the characteristic.
    2.) Right click on the infosource and choose, "Assign Datasource". 
    3.) Under Source System, choose your flat file source system, it is probably named FLATFILE, FILE, TEXT, etc....
    4.) Enter your transport info and select yes to the infosource/datasource assignments for attributes, texts and hierarchies (assuming you have all three icons)
    5.) Select the drop down for datasource and choose your hierarchy datasource.
    6.) Activate the datasource or switch the transfer method to IDOC (instead of PSA) and save the infosource (no activation under IDOCs).
    7.) You can now create your info package against the hierarchy datasource.
    If you are having trouble getting to this stage, the next is going to be more difficult -or- perhaps you are already at this and are having trouble loading the hierarchy?
    Whatever the case, please tell us the steps you have gone through and the errors or error messages you are receiving.  Sometimes these issues are very complicated to both explain and to understand.

  • Create sales order from multiple quotation

    Hi All,
    How we can create sales order from multiple quotation what is transaction code for this.
    Ahmed

    Hi Ahmed,
    There are two options.
    1. For creating Sales Order with ref to too many Quotations:
    Go to T. Code VA26 and enter the Doc Date or Quotation Valid to Date and Sold to party, Quotation Type to get all the outstanding Quotations for that particular Sold to Party. Then Select the required quotations and then select Follow-up actions button to create Single Sales Order.
    2. For less number of Quotations:
    You can simply go by referring each quotation by placing the cursor in alternate line item in sales order by selecting "Create with ref" button.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Ravi.

  • 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.

  • Create Adobe PDF from Word DOCX Issue

    Good Morning All,
    We have stumbled across an apparently well-known issue, which annoyingly for all concerned does not seem to have a satisfying answer.  One rather long discussion is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4237240.  There is at least one other which also alludes to the issue basically involving Office 2010 SP1 and having the Word user template location re-directed to a network drive.  None of the suggested things have worked, and we do not want to even try the user template location on a local drive, we want a fix for what is really a fairly standard scenario.
    I think we have found something new to add to the mix, this is noted later in the post.  For completeness I have also included a condensed version of events/stuff we have tried, to help anybody who reads this and may have an answer.
    Our scenario is as follows:
    We recently performed a Microsoft Office 2007 to Office 2010 SP1 upgrade.  A week or so in advance of this we upgraded all those folks that had Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to X, (v10.0.0).
    Within a couple of days of the Office upgrade we had reports of an issue whereby users could not convert Word documents to PDF.  Window title: Create Adobe PDF, message: Unable to open the document <path to file>.  Please check to see if you have permission for the above file.  (The user always does have rights to the location.)
    All machines are 32bit Windows 7 and well capable of running this OS and these apps.
    Machine patching is maintained by SCCM.
    Deployment of Acrobat and Office was done by SCCM.
    The issue broken down:
    Conversion of Word documents to PDF fails in these scenarios:
    Windows Explorer – right click of single file and ‘Convert to PDF’.
    Windows Explorer – right click of multiple files and batch conversion option.
    Outlook – Convert to PDF and e-mail.  (Error message is different, apologies I have no note of this to hand.)
    It should be noted that conversion of any other file format works, plus conversion of Word documents consistently works inside the Word interface using Adobe toolbar.
    Not consistently a user based issue:
    It usually * fails for our main test user on her PC.  Although sometimes a single file or batch file conversion will work.  However the option in Outlook never works.  (* Every so often the single file and batch conversion’s do work for the test user, there is no obvious reason as we have not applied any fixes that worked!)
    Everything works fine for the test user on my PC and another PC in her department.
    Not consistently a machine based issue.
    The process always works for me on my machine, but fails most of the time when I use the test users PC.
    The process always works for a test account cloned from the test user’s actual account.
    Giving local admin rights to the test user did not help.
    Summary of things tried:
    Various forum suggestions have not worked:
    Deleting/renaming normal.dotm worked initially but the problem returned within a couple of days.
    Registering some Adobe DLL's: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll & C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\PDFMaker\Common\AdobePDFMakerX.dll.
    The Word Add-in tool bar is enabled.
    The users name and intials are present in Word options.
    There are no rogue temp files in %temp% or C:\users\<user>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\word.
    Stuff we have tried independently:
    Repair Office install then repair Adobe install.
    Patching Acrobat to 10.1.1 & 10.1.4.
    Remove and re-install of Acrobat, including patch.
    Remove and re-install of Acrobat Pro and Reader, (using the official Adobe labs removal tool), including patch.  (When products were removed Office was repaired.  Just Acrobat Pro X was installed after, no Reader.)
    During this work I noticed two files in %temp% which get updated when file conversion is attempted: amt.log and swtag.log.  After Googling these files I found there may be some interesting stuff in amt.log when the process fails.  Unfortunately this has not been the case.  There is no obvious log entry difference between a successful conversion and a failure.
    However at this time I started to notice files in %temp% in the following format: cv*.tmp.cvr.  Google revealed these to be Office crash dump files.  Unfortunately these files are always zero bytes long and literally contain nothing to analyse!
    So after clearing out all these .cvr files I ran Task Manager, and had %temp% open in a folder.  I then tried the conversion process:
    Firstly it fails!
    Secondly a zero byte .cvr file is created and usually disappears right away.
    Thirdly winword.exe appears and disappears quickly in Task Manager.
    You can repeat this to your heart’s content by hitting the retry button!
    The only thing I can add about my PC is that I never had Acrobat until I tried installing it to re-create the issue.  So it may be that my PC having no legacy Adobe install issues, (I only had Reader previously), was less prone to whatever is the root of this issue?  The affected machines in the field have at least been upgraded from v9.
    As you can tell we have found it very hard to pin the issue down.  The circumstances for a failure are not consistently repeatable.  I do think the key thing we have noticed though is the obvious crashing of winword.exe when this process fails.  As evidenced by the creation of the cv*.tmp.cvr files and watching the process appear and disappear in Task Manager.  Nothing I have read elsewhere notes this, and it seems to me that winword.exe does not like being called in this way.  This is surely very key to the issue?

    I should also add that there are no error messages appearing on screen when we have a failure, and nothing is logged in any Windows event log.
    I have done lots more searching since first reporting this.  Lots of people have this issue going back to last year at least with Office 2010 SP1 Acrobat X.  No answers or fixes out there apparently despite being promised to some people who have done a bug report.
    This is really not good enough.  I have reported our scenario as a bug report earlier today.  Hopefully I will get a proper fix, then I will gladly pass it on.

  • How to create a report from multiple dynamic XMLs

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build a consolidated report that gets data from multiple XML files and each XML file is different. Although the presentation of the data will be similar, the contents of the XMLs will vary and the number of XMLs to merge will also vary.
    What I would like to understand is the following:
    * Is it possible to generate a report template based on dynamic columns where the column names, their format and number is different for each business object?
    * Is it required to generate an XML with the entire data or can the template read information from different XML files? and if so how it can be done. Please notice that the formatting of each XML may be different.
    * Is it possible to use the services to generate the reports directly? Something around these lines was mentioned in one of the sessions but it was also mentioned that it's still WIP.
    I've been using the standalone version and although I can get the desired result, I couldn't merge data from multiple XMLs.
    Is the new BIP version available, or an enterprise version that I can use?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Rich,
    Even i had a similar kind of problem. I wanted to fetch data from BI through the XMLA Connector which are created in Query Designer and then i wanted to fetch these fields and rearrange them and put it in a report format by colouring certain fields. Can the same can be done in WebDynpro.

  • Create new users from an excel spread sheet

    Hi Everyone.
    I am very new to SAP and I have only done the ABAP programming course last month.
    To make mme become familiar with ABAP - I was given a task of creating users from an Excel spread sheet - This will be used later on when we implement the new SAP system and decommision the legacy system.
    I am just wondering If anyone has created such program - I would appreciated If I can have a copy So I can learn how it is done -
    At the moment, I was thinking of using BAPI_USER_CREATE1 and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMIT to create users and optimise the creation call. Is there any thing else that I should be aware of ? I'd be appreciated if someone drop me some ideas - Thanks in Advance

    Hi Samantak.
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Since posting the question, I discovered that within  'BAPI_USER_CREATE1'  sub-call statements - comit is already done. Now my questions are:
    1) Do I still need 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMIT' to optimise the CREATE new newusers call ?  Apparently, yes.......I am curious for the reason 'why' since comitting is already done.
    2) I did an interactive call of the 'BAPI_USER_CREATE1'  - a user id was actually created in the system.  Now, my second question is.. Is there a way of calling 'BAPI_USER_CREATE1'  without comitting the data (i.e. create user record on file)..
    I want to call this whout comitting because I want to sort out the number of 'good' records from the supplied data list - and presenting the success percentage to the users before comitting the data.
    Thanks
