Excel charts

When I copy and paste Excel charts into ID CC the result looks of very low resolution - all jagged lines and ill-formed text on the axes. What am I doing wrong?

On Mac or Windows? I haven't done this in ages but in the past, Excel charts that were C/P into ID came in as WMF as vector but on Mac as low res raster. Best advice, however, is to paste into Illustrator, tweak, if needed, save as AI and place that.

How to link Excel Chart with multiple columns dynamically?

Hi all,
I have one problem. I have an excel chart which has to read data from multiple columns for it's X-axis values (time stamps) and the same number of values for it's Y-axis from multiple columns. See figure attached.
Now, you can do this by manually assigning values by holding control key to tell the chart that data from many columns is continued from the first column. i.e, a long data is distributed along may columns. This is done very easily manually.
Now, how to do it at runtime through LabVIEW 8.0?
Although, I have done it through labview when there where only two columns, A and B streching up to any length. But, now to save space we are dumping into many columns in the same page and want the chart plot that data as we dump it.
It is tough since I don't know how to assign SourceData of the chart through labview.
I have attached chart's SourceData picture.
Hope you all can solve my problem.
The Y-axis values are: =(good!$B$30:$B$70,good!$D$30:$D$70,good!$F$30:$F$70,good!$H$30:$H$70,good!$B$71:$B$140,good!$D$71:$D$140,good!$F$71:$F$140,good!$H$71:$H$140,good!$B$141:$B$189)
good is the name of the file.
The X- axis values are: =(good!$A$30:$A$70,good!$C$30:$C$70,good!$E$30:$E$70,good!$G$30:$G$70,good!$A$71:$A$140,good!$C$71:$C$140,good!$E$71:$E$140,good!$G$71:$G$140,good!$A$141:$A$189)
See the columns vary from A to F.
I have still not got what I love.....

Under the property node _Chart where you have the ChartTitle, add the property PageSetup. Cascade that into another property node and choose CenterHeader and CenterFooter. You can write the strings directly into these properties. Use the following codes:
Filename = &F, Date = &D, Time = &T
Be sure to close all references that do not leave the page (ie. Chart, Legend, ChartArea, etc.). Otherwise Excel will hang later on.

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one
When I try to print a chart from Excel 2007 I get a low memory error. All other printing seems to work just fine. I thought it might be because of a color fill in the chart area so I removed the fill but I'm still getting the error.
I've also cleared the fax memory and run through the steps in http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00378226&prodT...
Running: Windows WP pro (SP3)
Printer: LaserJet 3015 all in one
Current driver: HP Lasetjet 3015 PCL 6
Running as a network printer using a D-Link DP301P

When an application is installed to the expansion card, that's the only place where you will see it in the app launcher screen, i.e. by selecting the card. It will not appear in the All category because that only shows apps which are installed to internal memory.
As for the Files application, yes, it only lets you browse contents of the card. For a more robust file management utility which will let you browse your entire phone, you might want to look into a freeware application called FileZ, which I believe is available at www.palmgear.com and other places.
I've never run Documents To Go from a card, but when you open Docs to Go and open the Menu > Options > Manage Applications, there is an option there to move applications to the Card. Never having done that, I'm not sure whether it moves the whole DTG app to a card but, give it a try.
I have oodles of applications and documents stored on my Centro's internal memory, and never have run up against a memory problem. At any time, you can check available memory by going to the application launcher (home) screen, opening the menu, and selecting Info.

Acrobat X Pro does not print Excel charts from 2010 Word doc to PDF correctly

Hi,
I am trying to create a PDF from Word 2010 using Adobe Acrobat X and preserve hyperlinks but when I go through the PDF maker toolbar, the Excel charts in the Word file do not print correctly. They come up as large white boxes with a small grey arrow icon in the lower-right corner (looks like a "play" button). Does anyone know why this is and if there's a solution to this problem? Is there an update or a fix? I have a lot of Excel charts in the Word file...
Thanks in adavance,
Kika

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,
slobbering_dog
This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

Excel chart alignment problems when creating PDF

My excel chart is off set on my PDF page after creating PDF from Macro. The chart is within my print areas in excel and no matter where I position the chart in excel the chart shows up like it is indented on the PDF and runs off the page. I can print from excel and the results are fine. I am operating a windows 2007 64 bit machine with excel 2007 and ADOBE Acrobat 9 Pro & Adobe Reader X.
I am running the following code by Ron de Bruin to generate the PDF
Myvar.ExportAsFixedFormat _
   Type:=xlTypePDF, _
   FileName:=Fname, _
   Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
   IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
   IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=OpenPDFAfterPublish
No matter what I do I can not get the chart completely in the page through VBA. The VBA code works fine it is the results of the PDF I can't seem to fix.
Many thanks for any help.

Hi,
     I tried to do the same with a Excel having a so much content. I tried to print that file into a PDF file, I saw the output file as expected. I think there might be some different settings in your PDF printer. Can you please send me the screenshot of PDF Printer Dialog Box launched after invoking Print To PDF from Excel?

Is it possible to write a script for Excel Chart Conversion to an ai file?

I tried to record a script and it didn’t work. I will attempt to explain what I am doing (and why) and maybe you guys can tell me if it can be done or not. We are working with Excel charts and we eventually put them into InDesign for a print magazine. Here are the steps as best as I can translate. We are using Illustrator CS6 Version 16.2.0.
1. Copy Chart from Excel
2. Paste into Illustrator
3. Fit Art Board to Graphic
4. Select All
5. Change Kerning to 0
6. Select the Background
7. Select Same Fill Color
8. Change Color to 5% Black
9. Select the grid lines on the Chart
10. Change the Stroke to 50% Black
11. Save as an AI file
There is also a scenario where there are multiple charts and we would like to make multiple art boards in the same file.
I do this for a few reasons: Remove Rich Black, Adjust Kerning, Eliminate any Font Issues, Easier to Scale, and it chokes our rip because there is no link when they are copied and pasted directly from Excel to InDesign.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

no can do, there's no access to mesh point with scripting, sorry about that.
have you tried Mesh Tormentor? it is free!!!, but I don't know if it will help with your problem

Why are excel charts copied to Illustrator CS 5.1 now coming in as pictures?

I've been creating charts in Excel 2004 for Mac for years and copying them into Illustrator. They have always previously pasted into Illustrator as vectors illustrations. I've created hundreds of charts in Excel before and copied them to Illustrator to "dress them up" for reports with no problems. I just created a chart in Excel 2004 for Mac and copied it to Illustrator and it came in as a picture. This is the first time I have ever had this happen with an Excel chart.
I've searched various sites and have not found anyone who's run into this issue.
Any ideas?

I have never printed to pdf from Excel. I have always just copied the actual chart and pasted it into Illustrator, then worked on it there.
The image below is from one of the charts that originated in Excel and then was "dressed up" in Illustrator. It was a fairly complicated chart but it came into Illustrator with no problems whatsoever. (The Excel chart was fairly basic - specifically to avoid any issues when pasting into Illustrator.) All of the drop shadows and other embellishments were made in Illustrator.
My system has not changed - other than the usual MS Office updates.

Copy Excel Chart into Illustrator: Problem with dotted lines

Copying an excel chart (2010 and/or 2013, Windows 7 Ultimate) to Illustrator CS6 works okay if line chart lines are solid... but if they are dotted, then in Excel 2010, the dotted line becomes jumbled, and in Excel 2013, the dotted line converts to a solid line... is the only solution to this to save the exel chart as a pdf, or is there another workaround?
Essentially, I am creating a chart in excel and adding a few notations and graphic elements in illustrator for professional publishing...
any help would be appreciated... thanks

This is a follow-up (somehow, my original question was logged under OOBIMICHAEL):
I finally broke down and bought a MacBook Pro, installed CS6 and Office 2011... and voilà... dotted lines copy from excel to illustrator just perfectly... this is a bit like copying data from Visio to Word, etc... these programs render graphics in very different ways... other than the Mac solution, I also tried the Libre Suite (open source)... which also worked perfectly to copy excel data with dotted lines to illustrator... so, until MS and Adobe actually collaborate together to provide value to its customers, the alternative seems (1) open source, (2) buy a Mac...

Excel charts become blury when pasted...help?

Hi,
I am using CS4 on Windows 7.
I am putting together a report which requires me to insert Excel charts into my InDesign document.
I am having a problem...when I "paste" the copied chart over into InDesign, parts of the chart look pixelated and fuzzy/blury.
I have tried various things such as making the chart bigger and smaller then pasting, it seems to get worse. I also tried just doing a screenshot of my chart then making it into a JPG in Photoshop and placing that. It worked very well with one chart, but all the others are even worse than when I just paste.
Does anyone know of this problem? I want this preentation to look really professional, and fuzzy lines around my bar chart just won't do!
Please help??
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions guys
Well, I tried making it a lot larger in excel and then doing the copy/paste. The graphic itself came out nice and crisp, but the text on the axis i now so tiny you cannot read it, nor the text in the legend. Getting frustrated!
I also tried the copy/paste into Illustrator and save out as a .AI file then file>place. This came out with very rough edges and looking awful. I don't use AI and really don't know what I am doing so I could be doing it wrong.
Sigh.....it seems SO simple, very frustrating!
Any suggestion to remedy this?
Thanks a million!

Link in Word to Excel chart stored in SharePoint

I want to embed chart from Excel in Word document. Both Excel and Word documents are saved in SharePoint library. What I did, was to paste chart from Excel with "link data" option enabled. I also went to Links window and set "Update method
for seected link" to "Automatic update".
This works great, asking me to update chart everytime I open Word document, which is exactly what I want. Only as long as I have Excel file open. (I noticed, that when the file was on local PC, instead of SharePoint, it worked without opening Excel). When
Excel is not open, chart is not refreshed.
If I go to Client Tools -> Design ribbon and click on Edit Data, source is opened in window and chart is updated.
My question is:
How can I force chart to update with data, that might have changed in Excel located on SharePoint? Macro, that would open the file is fine.
Making users go thru ribbon and "edit data" option is unfortunately too complicated for inexperienced users. I need one-button-click solution or something that works automaticaly.

Hi Tschareck,
According to your description , my understanding is that you want to update the excel chart data when editing the chart in the word.
As a workaround, I suggest you can use SharePoint ItemUpdated Event Receiver, when you updated the chart data in the word, then reupload the excel file in the event receiver.
Here are some detailed code demo for your reference:

How do I make an embedded Javascript element(embedded MS Excel chart) automatically refresh so that viewers do not have to refresh the entire page to get updated information.

I am creating a web page that features an embedded chart made by MS Excel. I would like the chart to automatically update(refresh) to show viewers live information without having to refresh the entire page. I have found that there is a way to enable this through Excel but with my current subscription cannot access that feature. I am hoping that there is a way to achieve this using Adobe Muse CC. If it is not possible, I would like to know if there is a way to add a "refresh" button that refreshes only the embedded section(Excel Chart) of the page for viewers to use manually. Thank you for your help.

Update! The embedded spreadsheet is actually embedded using HTML rather than javascript.

Distortion of excel charts when converting microsoft publisher file to pdf

I am using the print "Adobe PDF" function in publisher to convert a publisher file to pdf. Some exel pie charts that were pasted into the publisher file become distorted at the edges in the pdf file. I have tried playing with various settings and using the "print quality" settings but nothing has helped. See the attached files for an example of the excel chart, publisher file, and results I am getting when converting to pdf.
Thanks all.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. What I'm trying to say is that the graphic looks just fine in publisher. But when it is converted to a pdf, the graphic has distorted edges, if you look at the publisher and pdf files I attached I think you might see what I'm talking about.
Please let me know if it's still not clear.
