Copying pdf to excel

I'm trying to copy and paste from acrobat 9 into excel. The lines all copy into the same cell. I would like the lines to be split into different columns. I am using copy as table and paste special. Is that correct? Is there any other way to do this?d
Thanks.

I don't know how to solve your problem. But would this help you? http://www.pdftoexcelonline.com/

Copying PDF into Excel

Hi,
Is there a way to insert or copy a pdf into an excel document.
When i have a pdf open i click on edit and then click on copy file to clipboard
I then go into excel and click on paste and it pastes (i think as an image) the first page of the pdf which is brilliant. but i need to be able to see the other pages of the pdf as the pdf has multiple pages?
Also, if i'm in excel and try it a different way by clicking on insert and then object and then selecting a pdf document i get an error saying that excel can't insert the object?

You need Adobe Acrobat to do so. On a machine with Adobe Acrobat installed, open the pdf and use Export option to export the pdf file in a format you want.

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

It's not something I have tried before. Have you tried it, and what's happened?
Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere. Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Cannot print pdf from Excel. Saving as log file

I am trying to print an Excel page to pdf and everytime I get an error.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 and Excel 2010

You printed to Adobe PDF from excel.
There was an error which prevented the pdf from being created.
That log file lists the errors and seeing it's content might enable us to determine why the job failed.
Open the log file with Notepad or any text editor (Word)

Trouble converting PDF to Excel

I'm trying to convert this delimited PDF to an excel (or some other delimited format). Using Adobe Acrobat 9, I attempt to save it and copy it as Excel but it gives the error message "BAD PDF; error in processing fonts. [348]". How can I save as an excel?

The PDF is not a Tagged PDF, so export will not provide an output that requires low-effort cleanup.
The PDF producer was Crystal Reports, not Excel - so, the data comes from some database application.
Consequently, no "file" to share.
Now, if this Crystal Reports PDF was not a "Bad PDF" due to use of unsupported Type2 font then you could try making the Tagged by use of Advance > Accessibility > Add Tags to Document (using Acrobat Pro).
If the PDF were Standards compliant, even not tagged, you could play with the following:
Save the PDF to your local machine.
With Acrobat Professional or better -
Use the Select Tool to select content.
Hover the mouse cursor over some highlighted content. Look for a change in the cursor icon.
(arrow head pointed up and left with a page sheet below and to the right)
Now, right click for the context menu.
Choices:
Copy | Copy as Table | Save as Table | Open Table in Spreadsheet | Select All Text | Deselect All Text
Or, File > Select All (Ctrl+A, Command+A) the hover the mouse.
The output will actually be a csv file but a spreadsheet app will open it.
Based on what is/is not selected what is present for column headings can be (to some extent) manipulated.
But, again, a well-formed Tagged PDF would permit rather clean transfer of data from the PDF to Excel.
You could try Save As to a *.txt file and manually delimit the data.

Are trails of the PDF to Excel converter available?

I have a PDF file consisting of several hundred pages that I must match to existing county government records. The data source we subscribe to, allows us to copy and use the information as we need it. Doing it one record at a time is totally impractical. I can do the comparisons in minutes by pasting the data into an Excel spreadsheet.
The PDF page consist of text box fields that are not evenly aligned, thus gridding the rows and columns is more problamatic.
I work for a local government agency, and have to involve our "IT" department. The $80 dollars for the PDF to Excel converter is within our budget, but we have to know if the application is suited to this type of page.
Can I send a page from the file to get an opinion, or perhaps use a trial version of the converter if available?
I have to hope this is falling on friendly ears.....Is there help?

This is a online conversion service.

Problem Converting PDF to Excel

Hello, I am trying to convert a pdf file to an excel spreadsheet so that I can do data sort. Pdf has about 7 columns on 13 portrait pages. When converted to excel, I find tha tthesecond column on each page has several columns in it that are apparently merged in different ways. It looks great on the pdf, but will not allow sorts in excel. Excel does not allow me to change these columns without deleting. Have tried cut & paste, etc to no avail. Do I need to do something to the pdf before conversion? The adobe pro x is of no value to me if I can not do this. Thanks

Hi folks. After converting a pdf to excell workbook, I was unable to sort or filter data so it was of no use to me. I tried various ways of copying into excel, but none worked. The message popped up "merged cells are not the same size. Cannot perform sort." If I unmerged as the help message told me, I lost columns of data. Just by experimenting, I found if Ise;ected the format button and selected eliminate format and hyperlinks, I could do the sorts. This was pretty simple and not sure why it is not in the help section as I wasted about 7 hours trying to do the cut and paste. I asked customer support and was told that there were problems with converting to Excel and could probably not do it. Kind of frustrating even though I did solve it.

Problema al convertir .pdf a excel

Buenos dias, estoy teniendo problemas en transofrmar un archivo .pdf a excel. El archivo es un archivo de 25mb aprox. que quiero transoformar a excel con la version de Acrobat XI Pro (trial version). El problema está en que cuando empiezo a convertirlo, no termina nunca y antes de terminar, se tilda y windows mata el proceso. Probé incluso dividiendo el pdf en archivos de 2 hojas (muchisimo mas liviano), lo cual no deberia ser un problema, asi y todo, la conversion no termina nunca.
Queria comprar el producto pero estoy teniendo mis dudas ya que no puedo transformar un simple archivo.
P.D.: Estoy usando una pc con un procesador intel i5 y 4gb de RAM por lo que dudo que sea un problema de la pc ya que no me consume muchos recursos.

El ordenador que he empleado utiliza una placa intel con chipset z76 (Ivy Bridge), la CPU es un Xeon E3 equivalente a un intel i7 3770 (no incluye gráficos), 16GB de DDR3 @1600MHz y el disco es un SSD. Componentes de penúltima generación, de calidad.
Supongo que en este proceso influye mucho el procesador y la cantidad de memoria.
En páginas como esta:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
Se comparan índices entre procesadores, si el procesador es de tipo medio (i3, i5, de hace 2, 3 años, la potencia de cálculo viene a ser la tercera parte, y por ejemplo un Dual Core E6600 @2,4GHz de finales del 2008 es 6 veces inferior).
Y obviamente no es lo mismo disponer de 4GB de DDR2 a 400MHz o menos, en el ordenador, que 16GB de DDR3 a 1600MHz.
Si el sistema necesita una cantidad de memoria superior a la disponible libremente, utilizará el disco duro (como memoria virtual) y claro si es lento (5400 rpm) está fragmentado o no tiene mucho espacio libre, el proceso se ralentizará considerablemente. (Esto se ve frecuentemente en procesos en Photoshop cuando la imagen es muy grande y la memoria RAM es insuficiente).
Te aconsejaría que con una pagina PDF suelta probases a convertir en varios ordenadores y comprobases si existen notable diferencias de tiempo en función de su potencia y velocidad.
- Asi que respuestas a tus preguntas:
- La versión comprada NO es más rápida que la de prueba de Acrobat XI Pro
- Sobre otras formas de convertir en Acrobat XI: aunque hay varios comandos para convertir en Acrobat, todos al final utilizan las misma rutinas, asi que no hay diferencias de tiempo apreciables.
-Otros programas: no creo que haya muchos y no los conozco para opinar. Eso si si buscas en Google (Convert PDF to Excel spreadsheet), salen varios.
-Sobre los servicios de Adobe, bueno supongo que funcionan con herramientas similares, lo único es que en vez de hacerlo uno, te lo hacen ellos, aunque se llevará cierto tiempo, y cobrarán algo por ello.
- Hardware. Otra solución es evaluar el ordenador que tienes, antiguedad, potencia,... y decidir si uno actual y más potente te resultaría útil para este trabajo y otras tareas.
Muy rápido resulta seleccionar todo (con la herramienta de Selección) y copiar y luego pegar en un Excel o Word, pero no logré un resultado aceptable en el escaso tiempo que le dediqué.
En Word el texto salía con tabuladores pero al intentar luego convertir a tabla no me acababa de salir bien. A lo mejor es cuestión de cuidado y paciencia, que no tuve. Igualmente al pegar en Excel como pide seleccionar un mismo número de filas y columnas que el original, y no conté bien ambas pues tampoco, pero es posible que se pudiera hacer. De todas maneras en mi caso, como he explicado, tras crear la acción y asi no tener que seleccionar un menú 159 veces, el proceso se realiza automáticamente y ví como iba añadiendo archivos xls cada pocos segundos (antes había que crear los 150 pdfs sueltos de una página, un comando en el que tardaba menos de un segundo por página).
- Al copiar todo (de una página) en el PDF y pegar con una celda seleccionada en Excel, todos los datos de cada fila los copia en una celda, veo ahora que hay un comando en Excel en la pestaña de Datos que se llama Texto a Columnas que parece que reparte los datos de cada fila en sus respectivas columnas.
- También leo que en lugar de exportar a .xls lo puedes intentar a .xml [XML Hoja de Cálculo 2003], para luego abrirlo en Excel 2007 teniendo instalado el paquete gratuito de Microsoft: Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats si el guardar como o exportar a xml es mucho más rápida (?) tendría sentido.
- Aqui tiens un ejemplo de cómo copiar y pegar desde Acrobat a Word y luego a excel.

Want to export columns (from a pdf) to excel. Can't find Adobe doco on it. Anyone know how to do this?

Hold the alt key as you select a block of text. There is also a column select option if the table has tabs that mark it as such. With a table, a table icon should show up as you pass over the table if it is properly marked as a table. Without the tabs, you might get strange results with the column select. The information on copying text is in the manual (in my AA8 it is under "Select and copy text").

In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

Hi DirTech,
Are both of these dates in the same Excel file? If they're in different files, are you choosing the same language for OCR (optical character recognition)?
If they are in the same PDF file, how was that PDF file created? Was it created from a third-party application (rather than an Adobe application)? If it was created by a third-party application, it could be that it wasn't written to spec, and that's why you're seeing some oddities in the PDF > Excel conversion.

New to PDF Portfolios - Need to Link between PDF, Word & Excel Docs

Hello All,
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm new to the Adobe X Pro & making portfolios. I have figured out how to create a portfolio. My portfolio has a main pdf document and several folders with pdf, word & excel files in them. What I’m trying to do is link from my main document (pdf file) to the other files (word, excel & pdf) that I’ve added to the portfolio. I’ve tried linking to a pdf file and a thumbnail of the word doc (because I did find that I can’t link to the actual word or excel doc). When I create & test the link (for both the pdf file & the thumbnail of the word doc) it is there; I can click the link I created and it will go to the word doc. If I close the portfolio & reopen it the link to the pdf file is there, but the link to the word doc isn’t there anymore. That link now goes to the main pdf file and not the word thumbnail or even the folder where the word doc is saved. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

As Dave has noted you can not do this.
Acrobat/Reader would need to know what program to use to read the data in the document and since there can be many different programs that could read your document, Acrobat/Reader would need to know exactly which program to use on one's system. You might only have MS Office but others might have both MS Office and OpenOffice.org and might prefer to use OpenOffice.org unless there is a feature that is only available to MS Office. Yes it is possible to create a program that can be configured to use specific helper programs, but it can have a real impact on system efficiency. It is easy enough to download or extract the non-PDF document and then use your program of choice. Just look to MS Outlook for a program that can not always open an attachment, especially PDF files.
