Excel to pdf background

I have made an excel file, and use have put a picture in the footer as a background. When I make a print preview, it looks fine, but when I save it as a PDF file, it pops up at the front, over my text.
How can I make sure the picture goes to the background of the PDF file as well?

Hi grizz20,
Would you mind providing some information? Are you using Excel on Windows or Mac? If it’s Windows,
do you have Adobe Acrobat (what version) installed?
Indeed, if I’m guessing correctly from your post you probably use Microsoft’s PDF. If you don’t have Acrobat installed on your Windows, and do Save As in Excel and select “PDF” in Save as type – it is using Microsoft’s Office add-in for PDF & XPS – then it has nothing to do with Adobe’s CreatePDF, and you should probably contact their support.
Meanwhile, if you have Adobe CreatePDF subscription, I’d recommend you to try using CreatePDF service to convert your Excel file to PDF – you should see much better results  for your case

  • Report to file and email (excel or pdf)

    Hi!
    I have a report where I list financial data about a company. The report is only one pivot table! There is a dashboard prompt, where you can choose the company you want to see.
    I need to save the report in excel or pdf for ALL the listed companies. I need to email some of them.
    How can I do that? I looked around the Delivers and the Publisher, but I wasn't successful.
    Thanks
    Andras Szenci

    user10912001, if you still have no answer on your question...
    Placing a report and a prompt to a dashboard (as you described you have done it), you can clearly see a button in left-down field of a dashboard
    !http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7E85bAvCFxg/Sj8oKflJ8WI/AAAAAAAAAHE/gvH2bpnoJWY/2009-06-22_104330.png!
    where you have a .pdf and .html format to print.
    Once you choose "Edit dashboard" in the list after clicking the button "Page option" (up-right side in the dashboards) you then click on the "Properties" button of the report (you want to have an option "Download to Excel") and choose "Report Links..." (where you checked an option "Download". Here you are - you have a link (bottom ao your report) where you have option to get the output in Excel format.

  • How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

    I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

    You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

  • Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

    Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
    ""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
    ========================
    I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
    Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
    You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
    You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
    Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
    I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
    NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
    The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
    The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
    The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
    My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
    In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

    If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below - 
    Set a different number for the starting page
    Tip   To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
    On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
    On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
    Tip   To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
    Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
    Hide All
    If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet  you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
    Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat.  I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

  • Any ideas on how to merge 2 reports on page to export to Excel or PDF?

    This is for OBIEE 11g (we are currently running 11.1.1.6.8). We have a user requirement to put the prompt selections on each report that is exported to Excel or exported to PDF. This requirement has to do with auditors. We cannot use the Filter Criteria view because we have saved filters that contain other saved filters so not all of the filters are shown. What the users want is to just have the ability to Export to Excel or PDF for one report and add the prompt criteria so that it also shows in Excel or PDF. We know we can use presentation variables and create a narrative view to show all of the prompt criteria. But we don't want to have this in a view in the compound layout of every report on the page (we have many pages with many reports on them). What we would like to do is have the Export (to Excel or PDF) download the prompt criteria (like when you use the printable HTML and printable PDF functionality only we want this for one report). So think of merging the report that is being Exported to Excel or PDF with another report that is built to show the prompt criteria. Is anyone else doing this kind of functionality? Any ideas on how to do this with javascript?
    We created an SR on this to find out if Oracle had some ideas but they did not and said that this is already an enhancement request ( Bug 8242921: ALLOW PROMPTS TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN DOWNLOAD TO EXCEL)
    Any help would be appreciated. Marybeth

    Did u tried the first method? i.e directly exporting the analysis to excel?
    Thanks.

  • What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in browser

    Hi, Right now I have photos loaded and displayed in my HTML document in the browser next to a report...
    What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in a browser?
    I use the following procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
    This gives an EDIT link to the photo...
    select
    '[img src="#OWNER#.display_thumb?p_file_id=' || nvl(file_catalog_id,0) || '" /]' "File"
    from "FILE_CATALOG"
    where "FILE_CATALOG_ID" = :P9_FILE_CATALOG_ID
    This is the procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
    create or replace PROCEDURE "DISPLAY_THUMB" (p_photo_id in number)
    as
    l_mime varchar2(255);
    l_length number;
    l_file_name varchar2(2000);
    lob_loc BLOB;
    begin
    select mime_type, thumbnail, photo_name, dbms_lob.getlength(thumbnail)
    into l_mime, lob_loc, l_file_name, l_length
    from photo_catalog where photo_catalog_id = p_photo_id;
    -- Set up HTTP header
    -- Use an NVL around the mime type and if it is a null, set it to
    -- application/octect - which may launch a download window from windows
    owa_util.mime_header(nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
    -- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || l_length);
    -- The filename will be used by the browser if the users does a "Save as"
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="' || l_file_name || '"');
    -- Close the headers
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- Download the BLOB
    wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );                               
    end;

  • Convert Excel to PDF using specific font Avant Garde ends up with missing text

    Hello, hopefully someone can help me out.  I have a problem with converting a specific Excel document to PDF using Acrobat 6.0.6.  Whenever this document is converted to PDF, on one specific computer there is are missing lines of text.  The font of the text is Avant Garde.  I can change the font to something like Arial and it will convert fine and all text will be shown in the PDF.
    I've already reinstalled Windows on this PC with its bare essentials and sure enough the problem persists.
    The Avant Garde font is installed by way of Adobe Type Mangager Light 4.1.  The fonts are Post Script .PFB.  I have a second and third PC with the same setup and these other two can successfully convert the Excel to PDF using Acrobat 6.0.6 without any problems (using the same Avant Garde font).
    I can uninstall and then reinstall Acrobat 6.0.6 and this will fix the problem temporarily but it will eventually come back within a day or two.
    Is there anything anyone can think of that would cause this problem to occur?

    I suspect the font is not embedded and not on that machine. You might try selecting "use Local Fonts" to see if it works that way. To check embedding, select ctrl-D and the font tab, or go to the document properties and select the font tab (they keep moving these around and don't remember where it is in AA6).
    If the font is not embedded, then change your job settings for creating the PDF to Press or Print forms and see if that solves the problem.

  • Does creating Excel,Word,PDF reports & printing in Apex need licensing ?

    I am new to this Apex 4.0
    I have installed the Apex 4.0 with Oracle 10g database.
    Now using Apex if I create any web application, and develop some reports in the web application.
    1) Now to do the printing of the reports in Excel,Word,PDF does Apex need some other components to be installed ?
    2) Does those components needs licensing ? or are they free like Apex 4.0 ?

    Hi,
    Yes you need other components
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/configure-printing-093060.html
    Some of solutions need license, like BI Publisher.
    There is also free solutions using e.g. Cocoon, Jasper reports ...

  • Download functionality in EXCEL and PDF format to the  Webdynpro iView

    Hi Expert,
                      I am using NW 7.0 ehp1 sp3. I developed some Webdynpro RFC model application for the product catalog of the material related data.
    Now my requirement is to provide the download functionality in EXCEL and PDF format to all of these Webdynpro (java) iView.
    How we can achieve this requirement? In which part of the webdynpro application we have to write the code?
    Someone can help me very clearly in steps to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Kundan

    Hi,
    I don't think it is possible to redirect the html stream of the Web Dynpro iView to a PDF / Excel document, since it essentially would mean you have to call the Web Dynpro application again, maintaining the state and context of the iview itself
    However, using (for instance) the JExcelApi (Excel) or iText (PDF) you could create documents using the data displayed in your Web Dynpro iView, which has the added benefit you could design and layout your PDF / Excel documents in a more suitable layout for printing (most WD applications look horrible when printed)
    Cheers,

  • 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:

    Hi,
    Yes .That is a Bug .When you have a Navigation links on Measures then, when you download the Report to Excel then you will be facing diffculty in getting the Totals and calculations wrong in the EXCEL .
    But when you Remove the Navigation links on the Measures then the Excel will have no problems in showing out the Totals.
    This was in 11.1.1.3 and also it is not resolved in 11.1.1.5 .
    We have already filed an SR ,and they said that they will be resolving the Issue in their later Versions .
    Might be if they get so many SR's on this Issue they might release an Early patch before the Next version Release.
    Thanks
