Converting from Excel and saving embedded links

I'm using Microsoft Office Excel 2003, sp3 and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional (7.0.9). I have some Excel pages that have embedded hyperlinks in them linking to other internal web pages. When I print to "Adobe PDF" it shows the links underlined, but they're not actual links, rather underlined text. I used to be able to do this but I'm not sure if a patch was applied that made this not work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Clyde Porpid

Ok.. Here's the last thing I recieved from Microsoft. Apparently it's an Adobe issue.
MESSAGE:
********************** The message for you follows ************************ Good afternoon Clyde ,
It has been my pleasure to work with you on your Microsoft Excel 2003 issue. Based on our last conversation I am closing your case at this time. If you find that your issue has not been fully resolved, please notify me as soon as possible, and I will reopen it.
As I close this issue let me assure you that your opinions are very important. If you have any comments regarding the service you received from Microsoft Enterprise Platforms Support regarding this issue. Please let me or my manager, Ken XXXX ([email protected]), know if there is anything that we can address to ensure your satisfaction with the overall service I provided.
Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
Action:
Using the Adobe Professional installed Addin to convert Excel files to PDF format.
Result:
The resultant PDF file does not contain the expected Hyperlink as entered in the Excel file.
Cause:
The Adobe converter uses the Adobe Print Driver to convert files and within this uses OCR technology to produce the PDF. This does not allow the Adobe application to see the underlying HTTP URL and such only reads the Text Displayed.
Resolution:
Alteration of the information in the page to be a HTTP URL will correct the issue. Use of Office 2007 and the Save As PDF functionality produces the expected output as well. All versions of the Adobe Print Driver through 8 produce the same results.
Thank you for working with Enterprise Support and Services for Business Applications, Chris XXXX, MCSE Microsoft Excel and Excel Services Support Engineer

  • How do I save data in a numbers spreadsheet? I am trying to convert from Excel and can't find the save button!

    I am new to Imac and numbers and am currently working on my first spreadsheet but must be thick as I cannot find the save icon!

    As you are no longer in M…oSoft world, you have to change your habits.
    In AppleLand, there is no Save icon/button.
    We have menu items or/and shortcuts.
    If you imported an Excel document in Numbers under Lion, you may use :
    File > Save…
    or
    File > Export…
    or
    Share > Export…
    These three commands allow you to export as an Excel file.
    If you want to save as a Numbers one, only
    File > Save… will apply.
    It would be useful to download and read

  • DSUM equivalent required for 3 condition eq' (just converted from Excel)

    Hi, I have just imported a basic accounting spreadsheet from Excel and wish to see if iWork 08 Numbers is up to the task! My issue is that my DSUM calcs for creating the basis for VAT returns is not recognised in Numbers - Can anyone assist with an alternative?
    Column A Column B Column C
    {date range} {expense category range} {expense amount}
    In Excel I used to be able to extract the expenses for a given category between 2 dates using something like this in function DSUM (date range >= Col A, expense category exists in Col B, date <= Col A, resultant expense amount from Col C)
    I have tried constructing SUMPRODUCT equations instead to no avail.
    In summary I need to return the sum of the expenses in Col C that meet 3 conditions within date range conditions 1 & 2 and meeting expense category condition 3.
    Any advice greatly appreciated - I can revert back to Excel, but would prefer the much more economical deployment of numbers, it's basic but provided I can overcome this hurdle, adequate for my needs.
    Thanks for reading,
    Ross

    Ross,
    Excel seems to have a function to fit every concievalbe situation but this is certainly not true of Numbers. Your problem can be handled, but it's certainly not as slick as DSUM in Excel.
    First of all, an auxiliary column may be added to your table which identifies those rows which meet the three conditions you list (plus eliminates blank situations). Actually, since this is an auxiliary column which may be hidden, I should think that you could eliminate the first part of the the formula where blanks are weeded out if you're willing to live with red and blue triangles.
    "In Range":
    =IF(OR(ISBLANK(Date),ISBLANK(Table 2::A$2),ISBLANK(Table 2::B$2)),"",IF(AND(Date>=Table 2::A$2,Date<=Table 2::B$2,Category<>""),"yes",""))
    Then in the "Range Sum" column of the the second table,
    =SUMIF(Table 1 :: In Range,“yes”,Table 1 :: D)
    Note that this sum also includes a zero for Oct 8 where no amount was entered, If this is an error that must noted, Table 1 will have to be modified to flag the error.

  • Read data from Excel and write into oracle database

    Hi
    I want  to know how can i read data from excel and write into oracle database using java.Kindly help me out to find a solution.
    Thanks and Regards
    Neeta

    Hai,
    I am suggesting the solution.
    I will try out and let u know soon.
    Make a coma separated file from your excel file.
    Assuming that your requirement allows to make a csv file.
    This file may be passed as an file object to be read by java.Using JDBC you must be able to populate the data base.You can also use String Tokenizer if needed.
    You do not want to  go via sql Loader?
    For reading the excel file itself do you want java?

  • Get the data  from excel and insert into the database

    I want to read the data from excel file, get the data from excel and insert into the database.

    You can use the Apache POI HSSF API to read data from Excel files and you can use the Sun JDBC API to insert data in database.
    This has nothing to do with JSP/JSTL.

  • Import file from Excel and ignoring the headers

    Hi all,
    is it possible to import files(spreadsheets) from Excel and ignoring the first row that contains the headers? Since headers might contain special characters such as "\n", "&" and "/", i wonder if you can tell me how to load .xlsx files while ignoring the first line that contains description regarding the header.
    Thanks

    Put a filter on one of the fields on the source data store in your interface. It is likely that your header row will have some unique identifying attribute so filter on that e.g. if you are importing nmeric amount data it is unlikely that your header line contains a numeric value in the amount field but a decription such as "amount", put a filter testing if the value of that field is numeric or not

  • Is the program from FiuneDeaalSuoft, and its associated links, causing problems?

    A program from FiuneDeaalSuoft somehow appeared in my Firefox Add-0ns as of 2 days ago (08212014) according to Control Panel-Programs. I don't recognize it, but possibly I mistakenly clicked on an acceptance interface without realizing it. The ad re-directs which it caused were onerous and invasive. The re-directs first started appearing when I received a message advising me to update some other programs. I have a list of most of them. It seemed to start I went onto a Windows web page, for Windows Live Movie Maker,
    < http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/movie-maker-file-types-faq?wlexpid=FC1B09C67C184525852C59C15A0F465E >
    which had 3 block ads at the top from FiuneDeaalSuoft. The links for those three ads were:
    < Microsoft.iYogi.com > phone 855-558-2498,
    < Microsoft-Windows.iYogi.com > phone 855-558-2498, and
    < Microsoft-Support.pchelpdesk.co > with no phone showing in my screenshot of the ad but it is probably the same as given later herein, 855-677-5531.
    I removed the FiuneDeaalSuoft program from Add-ons, but I still seem to be getting some pop-ups and re-directs. Looking in Control Panel, I see that the program name is slightly different: FuineDealSOfti from FineDealSofT. This program was extremely aggressive and persistent. In Control Panel, I see other programs which I am also concerned about. IDT Audio from IDT has been on my computer a while, but I can't remember much about it. Pinger from Pinger, Inc. shows that it was installed in Dec. 2013 before I bought the computer. WidgetServ 1.0 from Softomate, LLC. is through Firefox. WinSpeed from 24soft installed in April 2014 is another program which I don't know much about. Can anyone offer further analysis and review or comment of any of these programs, please, with advice as to whether you have found them useful or problematic?
    The software from FiuneDeaalSuoft will be uninstalled from Control Panel since I am convinced that it is very invasive and a lot of trouble. An Install Manager from dwnllistsoft.com was part of the pathway. It wanted to re-direct to < http://uhi.inureknittingrectrix.com >, which had code sections referring to < plh.tractionize.com >; < WhiteLabelBidRequestHandlerServlet >; < www.srv2trking.com >; < LTSanitizer.aspx >; and < www.ascentive.com >.
    The original message seemed to be one which advised that "Video Update Recommended".
    Another had the Firefox logo and advised that "You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and your Video Player might be outdated". The webpage address was:
    < http://www.lpmxp2129.com /7655407A3F26415F243E342D4D472B54AE35515F1068A175E1CFD6181CD0B859E09383E5EAA7EDFE90932B3B86A7E9D8?tgu_src_lp_domain=
    www.dnwyoursoft.com&ClickID=426139843&PubID=1258 > (which could have a small editing error).
    A smaller front screen appeared as an overlay which said "Recommended" and then " You are currently browsing the web with Firefox and it is recommended that you update your video player to the fastest version available. Please update to continue."
    Some other urls which appeared were:

    (NOTE that the previous entry may have a disconnect between the url and actual screen, since i could not reproduce the result);
    < http://pmptrk.com/t/o/12/ > was another redirect;
    < http://updatingdriversnow.com/ujp1/?source=MG_EBT-RED&kw=ubid >

    was very realistic (and for all I know is legitimate), showing a logo for PCKeeper, a front screen block titled "Important Message" with "Your PC Performance is Poor." and a "Fix Now" selector button;
    the main screen of the previous url had the overhead title of "How to Fix The Windows 8.1 error" which is somewhat peculiar since "The" is capitalized while "error" is not;
    also the previous screen had 1. a picture of an attractive smiling young man with a reference book titled "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist", 2. several links for various PCKeeper options, and 3. at the bottom, block ads for AAA and alleged referrals from "The Wall Street Journal", "MAXIMUMPC", and "Business Wire" and 4. a warning that "You may be presented with an optional offer(s) during INSTALLATION" which was the link followed another link for "learn more";

    I may have missed a couple or so urls, especially the intermediate transition urls, since they tended to change very quickly. Any of my screenshots are freely available if they can offer any further value.

  • Distorted Files when converting from Excel to PDF

    Hello,
    I work in IT and I have an annoying issue that when someone using Excel 2007 clicks on the acrobat tab to create a PDF from excel. The finished PDF file is distorted, and will not show the files as they should be. Part of the graph will be missing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the only thing that happened was that when creating a new user, the new user is able to create a perfect excel to PDF file with no issue, but the original user with the issue still has the same problem. Is there a setting that will fix this? 

    Hi,
    Please share your file if possible so that I can look into the problem. Please use below link:

  • Converting from excel 2004 to ical with Snow Leopard

    tried to import data via iCalMaker but was informed by the software maker that they don t support Snow Leopard. So ... a bit lost.
    I have the custom of preparing data in Excel, and would want to import some data into iCal. However I cannot find a good converter from either tab (preferred) or csv to ics. Similarly have no experience with applescripts and other fancy things. Is there somewhere an easy system to convert?

    Ali,
    Appears the iCal and Excel "wizards" forgot to supply us with a simple and much need way to import excel events, dates, birthdays, games etc. from excel to iCal..
    ...even the "wizards" at Ms Office 2011 do not allow an easy import from MS Office 2011 Excel to MS Office 2011 Outlook/Calendar...

  • Editing TIFF files from camera and saving as JPG

    I have searched extensively for this and feel like it must be answered somewhere but haven't found it. Call me an idiot.
    I have a camera that can save a picture as a tiff and jpg files simultaneously.
    When I open the tiff file in PE2 it is strange. It something like a negative and strange colors. In addition, it seems to have a small portion from the right side that has moved to the left side of the picture.
    Does this mean there is something wrong with the tiff files?
    I have tried opening it and saving as jpg. Then opening the jpg just shows the same strange image.
    Do I need a newer version of PE?
    Thanks

    Well I found something finally on the internet. Apparently it is a problem with the 2GB SD card in my Panasonic FZ20 properly storing the file. I will have to look into it more. The card is an Ultra II San Disk. The sorry part is that the accompanying jpg is much smaller than if I taken the picture as jpg to start with.

  • Workflow for exporting xml from Excel and importing into table in InDesign

    Hello,
    I have worked out how to get data from a .xlsx into a table in InDesign. However, the workflow is still a little clunky and I am looking for way to automate the process further. My current workflow is as follows (files can be download here: http://visual360.co.uk/xml.zip)
    xml is exported from .xlsx by mapping the schema (see what_I_get.xml)
    assign tags to table and individual cells in InDesign
    This is the clunky bit: edit the what_I_get.xml to:
    remove the indentation (this seems necessary as otherwise when I get to stage 4, all the imported text is also indented)
    add tag for table in InDesign (p10_table)
    add tags for individual cells (p10_c11 etc.)
    import the produced what_I_want.xml in the structure panel of InDesign.
    Can anyone point me in the direction of how to automate step 3 above?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks very much for the reply. I am not at all familiar with XSL/XSLT. I have given it a quick google and it seems like it could be quite a steep learning curve to master. Maybe if I explain the whole context here, it may allow you to point me in the direction of a tutorial that provides a step by step approach to achieve my final goal. Alternatively, you may be able to suggest a whole new workflow.
    I am in the process of updating this document: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/students/insessional/assets/documents/IS_Brochure_2014-15.pdf
    The tables on pages 10-21 contain lots and lots of repeated information. We want the layout to in this format so that each group of students has all the information relevant to them on a single double spread. However, the challenge of using this approach is that it is very high maintenance to ensure the duplicated information is kept in sync - even using a copy / paste approach.
    I was hoping to overcome this by using a single source of data (eg. a spreadsheet) which would then feed into the InDesign. This workflow seems to be overcomplicated by the apparent need to use xml as the "middle-man".
    Ideally, I would like to press the export button in Excel and get this information into the the correct cells in the tables on pages 10-21 without a significant amount of manual labour - after all, my reasons for investigating an automated approach in the first place was to avoid the manual entering of data ie. the scope for error...
    An alternative approach maybe to skip Excel altogether and just use .xml. However, I am not sure that this is possible as Indesign only seems to allow you to import each element once. Maybe you could correct me here...
    I am happy to invest a certain amount of time in developing this approach as once it is in place, it will save a huge of proof-reading time year after year, especially as inconsistencies still persist despite our best efforts to weed them out.
    If you could let me know your thoughts on this and maybe identify a tutorial that would help me, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks again!
    Nick
