Excel to pdf conversion

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!
    Eric

    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:

    Let me know!

  • 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.

  • PDF conversion to Excel isn't working

    I'm a new user in ExportPDF
    Trying to convert a pdf file to an excel file, but conversion comes back as an .xlsx file, which Excell says is not compatible.
    Tried renaming it to an .xls file, but this didn't help
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I don't know if its still available there is was a Converter that can be installed that allows Office2003/4- 2007/8 those application to Read docx, xlsx, pptx files. If you save one of these file in doc, xls, ppt (Binary) format you lose any new features that are in the docx,pptx, xlsx formats (XML format).
    It used to be in a website called Mactopia but that has been shut down and moved another area on Microsoft's website.

  • Excel to PDF Recognizable Fonts

    I'm trying to create a checklist by converting from excel to pdf then editing in LiveCycle to create fields.  I'd like to see if there is a way to make sure that all the checkboxes I've created on my excel spreadsheet are recognizable.  Is there a specific font I can use that will create this effect?  What about comment boxes?  Is there a quick way to create one in excel and have it be recognizable by LiveCycle? 

    This does help but only for some oversize worksheets. One of the oversize worksheets using Acrobat will print to a single page if selected individually. But printing to Adobe causes the far right columns to print on a separate page. There is another reason I want to use ACrobat for conversion. I want the Excel comments to be in the PDF. As well, I have 1,000 workbooks so I want to set up an ACrobat batch run. That is a separate issue since the Excel PDFMaker "fit to page" isn't available from within the Acrobat batch run. thanks for your help
