Columns aren't maintained in a multipage PDF exported to Excel
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Hi YSPACCT,
If you're converting from within Adobe Reader, you may have more luck by disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
If that doesn't work, I encourage you to submit your original file to Adobe using the File Conversion Issue form.
While Adobe can't promise to respond to each submission individually, we are collecting files such as yours to help improve the ExportPDF online service.
Best,
Sara

Pdf export to Excel is changing dates to Aremenian
I am exporting to Excel from .pdf. It is taking the dates and converting them to Armenian and switching the months and days around. I cannot find where it is telling this to do it. Under my options, language, it is checked English.
Does anyone know where it is told to change the format to this?I am having the same problem except it is changing mine to Afrikaans......any help is appreciated.

Huge (14K pages) PDF Export to Excel gives "Save As Failed To Process" Message
Using version 11.0.7.79, running Windows
I have a massive (33.7MB, 13,900 page) PDF that I am trying to convert to HTML or Excel. When I try to export the file to either of these formats the export process will run for a number of minutes and then bomb out with the "Save As Failed To Process" message. I figured that the issue was with the file size, so I extracted a much smaller subset (200 pages) without a problem.
Since it appears that file size is the problem, does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach the exporting of this huge file? What causes this error message? Any way to get around it (maybe online conversion of the file)?
I could manually break it up into smaller files, but I'm hoping that there is 1) an easy way to segment the larger files into smaller files via a 3rd party solution (if needed) or 2) another way to export the huge PDF in one fell swoop. On point 1, I don't know if there is a solution that will automatically segment larger PDF's into 500 page segments per PDF file.
For context, I am brand new to Acrobat Pro, so there could be a practical solution that I am not aware of yet. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!Yea, this approach is not going to work. Even when I break these down into 1,000 page, 2MB files I get the same "Save As Failed To Process" error message. What causes this message? Not enough memory? How can I resolve it?
It just doesn't make sense that I can't export basic data to Excel when the actual excel content for 1,000 pages will probably be less that 2MB once it is in Excel. I saved a sample 10 pages and it was 18KB. 100 sample pages was 123KB. I would expect Acrobat to be able to convert these files when I break them down into 1,000 page increments.
Are there any settings within Acrobat that I should be looking at adjusting? It just seems ridiculous that it is this hard to get Acrobat to do a very basic export for what seems to be a reasonable sized file. -

Paticular columns in "Export to Excel" functionality of PanelCollection
Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0.
I am rendering (render Property to false) some of the columns in the table before it is doing “export to excel” of PanelCollection functionality.
The table should display that columns in the front end but while exporting it to excel it should hide that columns.
I have done below coding for the same:
In jsff file:-
<af:panelCollection id="pc2" inlineStyle="background-color: #F9E1E0;" styleClass="AFStretchWidth">
<f:facet name="toolbar">
<af:toolbar id="t1">
<af:commandImageLink text="Export to Excel" inlineStyle="width:95px;" id="cil4" actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.TimesheetService.notToShow
binding="#{xxyyzzBean.exportCollectionButton}">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t2"
type="excelHTML"
filename="empDtlsExport.xls"/>
</af:commandImageLink>
</af:toolbar>
</f:facet>
The t2 is the table in which 5 columns are present and which is having Binding with dataTable.
The code in the Bean class:
public String notToShow(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
List<UIComponent> uicomps= dataTable.getChildren();
for(int i=0;i<uicomps.size();i++)
UIComponent myComp= uicomps.get(i);
if(myComp.getId().equals("c1")) //the column which should be part of export to excel.
myComp.setRendered(false);
if(myComp.getId().equals("c6"))//the column which should be part of export to excel.
myComp.setRendered(false);
ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(exportLink);
ae.queue();
return null;
But it goes in infinite loop.
Could anybody help me out for the same?Hi,
in your code you use "exportCollectionButton" on the commandImageLink and "exportLink" in the code, so this sample doesn't make sense. Assuming its a typo in the code and in fact the notToShow() method calls
ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(exportCollectionButton);
ae.queue();
then the cricular reference is not a surpise because you queue an action on the command link itself, which then again queues the same action etc.

Creating multipage PDF problem with jpegs
I have been trying to create a multipage PDF with Pages for my photography business. The first four pages, with a large Jpeg and some text, worked fine. On the fifth page, when I drag my jpeg image to the page, I get weird behavior. The image becomes pixellated and very large, partially covering the previous few pages. The images are approximately the same size as the ones copied to the first four pages. I even tried resizing the image to 600X400 pixels at a rez of 70, with no good results. This is very frustrating, as I would like to get this out to a client. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Pages has an odd algorithm to work out the original size of the image and doesn't always get the resolution right. Usually because the original file doesn't either.
You can fix the image resolution in Preview .app, however if you work with Word Processing mode documents, Pages has a neat feature that images copied/dragged into the text area, inline will "fit" either vertically or horizontally, thus auto-sizing to the layout. Use columns to subdivide the page if need be.
You can also create a fixed size imagebox and set the image to fit that, then make it a positional:
Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder
Duplicate those and any images dropped on those will fit to the Imagebox the same way that the original placeholder did.

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF
I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.
I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.
-
as per title - i have a multipage PDF that i want to transfer into a multilayered PSD.
not one by one - but automatically.
my attempts of recording a set of actions failed.
Please help.This would likely need Scripting at least.
But like station_two indicated people might feel more inclined to help if the necessity for the process were clearer.
And converting pdfs into pixel images is often a bad choice. -
Hi,
I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
I have two TABLIX in a report. One is TABLIX with row/clumn grouping. 2nd one is flat view.
Here each tablix is dispaly it's data on single page for each.
My Requirement on First TABLIX is:
1. I have to make column headers visible on scrolling down
2. Export to PDF - column headers must be visible on all the pdf pages for same tablix data.
But ... either one is achieved at my end.
so ... any suggestions please to achieve both at same time.
thank you in advance.
best regards,
venkat.Hi G.V.Naidu,
According to your description, the first tablix is matrix to use display data.
In SSRS, if we want to fix matrix header visible while scrolling and repeat header columns on each page, we can select the corresponding option to enable this function. Please refer to the steps below:
1. Right click tablix, and select Tablix Properties.
2. Select “Keep header visible while scrolling” and “Repeat header rows on each page” to enable these function.
If we are use table to display data, please refer to the article about Repeat Header / Keep Header Visible in Tables.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2008/10/13/repeat-header-and-visible-fixed-header-table.aspx
If there are any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?
Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
Thanks,

How to view a multipage PDF in the form of a contact sheet?
There are plenty of discussions over how to place a multipage PDF into an InDesign document ONE PAGE PER PAGE. But I fail to find out if there is a way (within a CS2 environment) to place a multipage PDF continuously as "thumbnails" either 1 : 1, or scaled down, filling each page in the document in a way similar to the Data Merge tool, for example - so as to create a contact sheet of the PDF pages.
The only way I see is to place the PDF the usual way, export the document as individual images, and then make a contact sheet using Bridge or Photoshop - which I find rather inconvenient.
Any hint, please?
Thank you, PatakaIn Acrobat Pro print to Adobe PDF.
In the settings for Layout choose for instance
16 pages per paper sheet.
One get's a PDF with one or more new pages,
which can be placed in ID if necessary.
Sometimes that's called printing N-up, here 16-up.

Hi
I have done some searching and it seems that Illustrator CS5 is not able to open a multipage pdf file.
I came across this plugin (for mac) Convert PDF Pages to Illustrator Artboards
http://rwillustrator.blogspot.com/2011/03/convert-pdf-pages-to-illustrator.html
My question is do I have to use this workaround to open a multipage pdf file in Illustrator CS5?
It seems like a very natural feature that should be a part of the program and am puzzled that it seems not to be. Hopefully I am wrong. That I just overlooked something.Paal
the artboard feature is relatively new and when first introduced it was not envisioned as a page type of tool but a way of exporting areas of the canvas as a file for various uses.
When it was pointed out that this was essenailly the same as a page type tool it became a multi-purpose tool, once that happened then it was pointed out that it would be a good idea to allow one to organize, renumber and export as individual files and some other features.
Master artboards are not yet available and placing mutilple page pdf as multiple artboard documents are also not here yet but it might be in the future. It would make a lot of sense as you point out.
But if Adobe did this for AI then they would probably be compelled to bring editting capabilities to pdfs placed in ID and that might be a big task. So it might take sometime for this to happened.
Of course it may never happen.
I think it would help AI and ID if AI alone had this capability and AI files could then be smart objects in ID. -
Import multipage pdf in an Illustrator document
Hello,
Does a script exist to import multipages pdf document in an illustrator document ?
I usually use InDesign to import multipage document with the script named "pdf import".
The goal of the manipulation is to outline fonts, or resize the different boxes (Trim box for exemple).
An other question : can we import a ".jsx" file made for InDesign into Illustrator ?
Thank you for your help.Illustrator has a PDF open options object with allows for sizes height, width, boxes i.e. media art crop and page to open.
I have so far NOT tried scripting this but should NOT think its too much of a problem with the exception of knowing how
many time you need to loop to get all the pages in the PDF. The scripting guides contain a basic example too.
