Excel to PDF conversion using OSB

We have a requirement to convert excel files to be converted to PDFs.
Wondering how to do this in OSB.
I can read the file from the source using the file transport.What must be next?
Any ideas please.

Thanks for the links.
I have the stand alone Java routine which does this conversion using APIs.
The challenge is what do I pass to the Java callout as input - The API methods accepts a file location as input or the java primitive byte[].
I pass $body/ctx:binary-content but seems the API method errors out.

  • MS Office 2007 Excel files pdf conversion using Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional

    How can I use Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional to convert EXCEL files (to pdf) from MS Office 2007?

    I don't think Acrobat 7 can recognize Office 2007 files; Acrobat 7 was released way before Office 2007.

    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

  • Problems with Excel 2007 PDF conversion

    I'm trying to convert an Excel 2007 workbook into a PDF. I installed Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional onto my machine and it put an Acrobat Menu choice in Excel. So I can convert, but now I have a host of problems/issues, probably arising from the fact that I'm new to this.
    1. The Acrobat add-in moved my Page Breaks inside Excel
    2. Now I can't seem to change the page breaks at all in Page Break Preview
    3. My Reset Page Breaks in Excel is grayed out
    4. Acrobat conversion gave me a message "Cannot create tags for Worksheets with Print Titles. Clear Print Titles field in Page Setup dialog". I did have Print titles, but now in that dialog box they don't show. The field isn't even editable.
    I have saved the Excel file, not realizing that this Acrobat add-in has apparently altered the Excel file itself. I am now told by someone that I should just not use that Acrobat menu in Excel, and load the Excel file from Acrobat 8 itself. Nice to know. But is there anyway to "reset" my Excel file and remove/adjust what's been done to it, especially the Page Breaks. Or am I missing something obvious?

    In general, you should not have the page breaks and all locked out by the addition of the Adobe PDF printer and converter. One trick to pull is to try to find the option in Excel Options that allows the output to use the printer metrics and be sure it is turned off. That should mean that you do not get changes as you change the printer. However, the issue of some of your menu items being locked and such is strange.

    I have photos in column on Excel - upon conversion to pdf the photos "shift" to a different area - what can I do to avoid this shift?

    You've probably got two options to make a PDF from Excel, a button in a toolbar, or print to eh Adobe PDF writer.  Try whichever one you're not using now and see if that helps.

  • Error in Spool to PDF conversion using 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.

    Hi
    I am sending classical report output from the Spool to PDF using 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.
    This is done through a batch job.
    Step 1 is RVKRED01 report
    Step 2 is a program that picks up the spool number of step1 and converts the spool to PDF.
    Now in step 2 I am getting following error.
    TEMSE_READ_LISTLINE error, TemssPart 1
    What can be the reason?
    What can be the solution?

    HI,
    I checked your FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
    in the include LSTXWFPL line 1006, the IF condition is failing (if eop = 'X'. "end of part, read next part? )
    so you are getting that message,
    you can check that failing job in the debugging mode why it was failing at that point.
    Note: for checking the background job you need to do below things.
            1) go to sm37, and select you job.
            2) and just type "JDBG" in the command line it goes to the debugging mode of your job.
    by this way you will find. how and why its that error.
    Alternative to your FM ( CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF ) you can also use the
    FM FPCOMP_CREATE_PDF_FROM_SPOOL.

  • Acrobat 7.0 Pro Excel to pdf conversion problem

    I have a multiple page excel document with specific data on specific pages, basically making slides within excel.  When it prints to a printer, all is well and each page prints as it should.  However, when I convert it to pdf for distribution, it seems like the pages shrink and I get data from page 3 on the bottom of page 2, data from page 4 on the bottom of page 3, and so on until a few pages later, I have a page with the bottom half of one slide, and the top half of another.  Has anyone ever ran into this problem, or can anyone help find a solution?  Thanks!!

    Two parts of AA 7 will not install on Win 7 (32 or 64-bit): the Adobe PDF printer and AcroTray.exe. You can install a separate color PS printer (either one from Adobe or possibly one for an HP color PS printer), change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. That should do the job, but you will ALWAYS have an extra step in the creation of a PDF. You will have to print to the printer and a PS file will be created (probably with a PRN extension). You then have to open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. From my brief testing, this process will work and the rest of Acrobat and Distiller seem to work (though I did not test extensively). If this is unacceptable to you, then purchase AA XI (upgrade not available from AA 7).

  • Excel to PDF conversion still going after 10 minutes?

    This is a simple one page Excel sheet I was trying to convert, just to see if I wanted to purchase the service.  It has been about 10 minutes since I clicked on the 'convert' button, how long should this take?  Seems kind of crazy for it to be this long.
    I have checked all of the system requirements, and that is all in order, and my internet connection is lightning fast on everything else I am doing online.  What else could be causing this?

    Another suggestion is to try the service from another browser, or another computer if you happen to have one. It's also a good idea to make sure you have the most recent version of Flash installed:

  • Smart form: Spool to PDF Conversion more than 100 pages.

    Hi folks,
    I have an issue with Function Module (FM) CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF when the report to be converted has more than 100 pages.....i have explained this scenario as below
    We have been using the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert ABAP report to PDF file and then send this via mail using FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.....
    PDF conversion using FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF works well if the number of report pages is less than 100....i.e the table pdf of the FM will contain the output as expected.....
    If the report has more than 100 pages, the the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will schedule the conversion job as a background job and returns with a SY-subrc eq 0 and the table parameter pdf will ne empty.
    Could you suggest me a woorkaround in this situtaion...i.e how do I then get the output of the background job
    And  any process to convert Spool to PDF if having more than 100 pages.
    Thanks in Advance............

    Pb,
    If the report has more than 100 pages, the the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will schedule the conversion job as a background job and returns with a SY-subrc eq 0 and the table parameter pdf will ne empty
    i would suggest you to if pages are more than 100 than you need to send report output to sp01 with spool request number by using fm job_open..job_close..
    than from sp01 you can convert pdf by running RSTXPDFT4 in se38.
    hope this would solve your problem.

  • Changing the LiveCycle ES4 Launch Pad Output Folder for PDF Conversion

    I have an instance of Adobe Live Cycle ES4 on WebSphere installed on a Windows 2008 R2 server. We're leveraging the Launch Pad desktop GUI as a PDF conversion tool for our end users. The document to PDF conversion functionality is working great but the converted PDF files are automatically being stored on the end user's "AcrobatHub" folder. Example: C:\Users\Jsmith\AcrobatHub. 
    How do I modify and change the default output location for converted PDFs?

  • 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.
