Changing default template layout from pdf to excel

Hi,
I've created an .rtf layout template. When I run the concurrent program, the layout defaults to pdf format. Is there anyway to change this to excel so that the user doesn't have to go into options each time and select excel?
Thank you.

Yes, but you will probably need to apply a couple of patches. Background article here: http://garethroberts.blogspot.com/2009/01/revisited-changing-default-layout.html

How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US?

Hi,
I live in Québec, the french part of Canada. Because I use French, iWork think I leave in France, so the default templates are in A4.
How can I change the default templates to from A4 to Letter US? It seem's impossible. In Pages 06, each language folder had templates. But with Pages 08, it's different.
Please help.

Autre façon : Ouvre un nouveau document. Il va être en A4. Dans le menu Fichier--->Format d'impression. Une fenêtre apparaît. Dans la ligne... Taille du papier, tu choisis... Lettre US; tu fais OK. Ensuite tu sauves ce document comme modèle. Menu Fichier----> Enregistrer comme modèle et tu lui donnes le nom, par exemple... USLettre.
Ensuite, va dans le menu Pages, va dans préférences et dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre - Préférences générales - tu choisis : Utiliser le modèle... et tu cliques sur Choisir... à droite un peu en bas de Utiliser le.... et là, dans la fenêtre qui va apparaître, tu trouves le modèle que tu viens de faire...USLettre.
Voilà. Chaque fois que tu vas ouvrir Pages, ce sera USLettre qui sera là par défaut.
J'espère que ça va te satisfaire.
Évidemment l'idéal serait de pouvoir changer la template Vierge par une template Vierge US... mais j'ai pas encore réussi.

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

The product I bought its not working as i expected, it doesn´t translate the exact information from pdf to excel, how can you help me or how can you return my money back....

how can you help me

What about adobé export PDF. ?

If you bought Reader, you were swindled, because it's a free program. And it has never been able of converting PDF files to any other format.

Change default template for a given Theme

Can we change the default template for a theme ? (if yes, how). I had selected theme 3 (business) during the creation of my application with 2 level tabs. After creating parent tabs and standard tabs and getting it working I changed the theme to theme 12 (blue). When the theme got switched, the default application page template became a 1 level tab.
This was because for Theme 12, the default Page template is 1 level tab. I want to change this default Page template to 2 level tabs. I couldn't see option of making this as a default.

Sorry, I found the answer in the documentation in Chapter 7 under
"Changing Default Templates in a Theme".

PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.

Changing Default Template

I found this archieved discussion while trying to figure out how to adjust the default template settings...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12877800#12877800
...but things had changed in the 2013 version of Pages, so after I figured out how to do it in the new version, I listed the steps below for anyone else trying to figure it out. It's not incredibly complicated, but not a very logical process to have to go through just to change some basic settings, and it is the only way possible that I've found.
1. Create a template the way you want, and save that .template file to your desktop
File > Save as Template > Save > and name the file “Traditional.template”
2. Go to your “Applications” folder > Then control + click on the Pages icon > Select “Show Package Contents” from the menu > Open “Contents” folder > Open “SharedSupport” folder > Open “Templates” folder > Then scroll all the way to the bottom to find and open a folder titled “Blank.”
3. Drag and drop the “Traditional.template” file into this folder (the template file you saved in the first step).
4. It will ask you to “Authenticate” and ask if you want to replace the original file. Go ahead and do that and now the default “Blank” template will use your settings.

I'm just calling it the default template because it is the first one right there, it's basic, and I think he only template that isn't some fancy customized layout. It is the generic default template.
If you want to say change from a San-serif font to serif, which is what I wanted to do, or something else, this is a way that you can.

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

Export from PDF to Excel continually times out and fails.

I went through the steps to convert a PDF to Excel turning off the OCR feature. Tried this several times today with or without OCR and I keep getting the error message "Adobe ExportPDF could not successfully export your PDF file (file name).pdf. The conversion of your uploaded PDF timed out."
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as there are not too many steps to follow.
If I can't get this to do what is expected (which is convert a .pdf to an Excel file) then I will have to cancel the subscription. I just did sign up for a paid subscription to Adobe ExportPDF. There are others in my department (45 total) who would benefit from having a .pdf to Excel file converter and I have volunteered to become the "beta tester" for this.
If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening, I'd sure love to hear them.

You are not talking about Acrobat, but ExportPDF. Check for the separate forum on that by simply selecting the Adobe Community link near the top of this forum and in the drop down box select ExportPDF.

Extracting data From PDF to Excel

I have inherited a large library of PDF invoices which I need to extract data from into excell - or some other spreadsheet. The other option is to open up thousands of pdf documents and run the numbers by hand which is just dumb. I am new to acrobat and an entire afternoon of trial by fire / google hasn't gotten me very far - so even pointers in the right direction are appriciated.
Ideally I would like to tell Acrobat what data is important on each document (can I use the form tool to do this?), extract the data from the relevant files (batch processing tool I presume?), compile the data and extract it to a CSV.
It looks like the functionality is here I am just unsure how it all needs to fit together. Any Suggestions?

Hi,
There is software out there that will convert PDFs to excel... look for ABBYY or Able to extract... If you have a lot of files that are the same merge them together before using the software. Remember that if the data is created from a scanned image then the results will only be as good as the ability of the OCR engine contained in the software. You can play with the software to create tables, etc...

Change default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray?

How do I change the default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray in illustrator CS6?
In the older versions, the toolbar backgrounds were light gray. It easier to read on light gray backgrounds.
THe same question applies to Photoshop CS6. InDesign CS6 has light gray backgrounds.
thanks

I should have looked a little harder for the answer.
To change the interface background color to another shade of gray in Photoshop go to:
www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/interface-cs6/
The same method applies to Illustrator.

How long does it normally take to convert from PDF to Excel files?

How long does it normally take to convert from a PDF to Excel files?

Sara-
I did see your response. Thanks. The other thing that happened was after I enabled Adobe on my Dell it apparently knocked out my Mozilla. Now I can't get internet connection unless I use Internet Explorer which I would prefer not to. I'm going to visit our IT folks tomorrow and see if I can get some of this resolved.
The PDF files I obtained that I am trying to transfer to Excel may be too complex because there is a great deal of extraneous text information in the basic document that lies outside of the tables I want to transfer. I'm going to try and highlight the tables only and see if this works.
Thanks for taking the time answering.
Best,
Henry

AwesomeWM change default starting layout[Solved]

HI,
I use awesomeWM and I am very happy with it so far. Today I upgraded the system, and as usual, the configuration file changed. I have managed to deal with the differences so far for every upgrade, but today I must confess as a non lua expert that this time one of the features I tweak got me.
The new awesome 3.4-1 starts the screens with every tag in the very annoying floating layout. I do not want to change every tag to the desired layout. In the past I have managed to create a customlayout array to start every tag with a desised layout.
I believe such a tweak is very easy for a lua expert, I just do not see it.
So bottom line: Is there a way customize the layout of each tag or at least change the "floating" default?
Thanks in advance
Last edited by donpicoro (2009-10-23 23:02:42)

I changed
tags[s] = awful.tag({ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }, s)
to
tags[s] = awful.tag({ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }, s, awful.layout.suit.tile)
to get back the default tiling layout.
