Export only specific data from PDF to Excel

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to export only specific fields from a PDF to an Excel sheet. I have dozens of past revenue statements from various companies. When I export the whole PDF at once, it does not transfer in any use able way without manually moving a bunch of things around. I am working with revenue statements from oil and gas wells. Therefore, the goal is to put the well name in one column, quantity produced in another, price sold for in another, etc. However, as I said, the statements are not set up in a way that transfers over in that format. It would be ideal if I could choose which columns in the PDF to transfer over and in what format I choose. In many cases, I have a different PDF for each month, which I could merge into one document if I need to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible to do it but it requires using a script. You can't do it by using the built-in Export Form Data command.

Extracting data From PDF to Excel

I have inherited a large library of PDF invoices which I need to extract data from into excell - or some other spreadsheet. The other option is to open up thousands of pdf documents and run the numbers by hand which is just dumb. I am new to acrobat and an entire afternoon of trial by fire / google hasn't gotten me very far - so even pointers in the right direction are appriciated.
Ideally I would like to tell Acrobat what data is important on each document (can I use the form tool to do this?), extract the data from the relevant files (batch processing tool I presume?), compile the data and extract it to a CSV.
It looks like the functionality is here I am just unsure how it all needs to fit together. Any Suggestions?

Hi,
There is software out there that will convert PDFs to excel... look for ABBYY or Able to extract... If you have a lot of files that are the same merge them together before using the software. Remember that if the data is created from a scanned image then the results will only be as good as the ability of the OCR engine contained in the software. You can play with the software to create tables, etc...

Export only specific data in XML with Submit by Email button

I have created a form with multiple subforms that includes user input and calculations. One of these subforms contains fields that are bound to a MS Access database to retrieve data for calculations. All of the fields on this subform are bound to the data connection. The data connection, calculations, and submit by email button all work perfectly. My only problem is that the XML data that is being exported includes the data I bound to the MS Access database. I only want the data that the user inputs. I have changed the binding to "none" on all of the calculated fields to restrict them from exporting.
I have attached a copy of the XML file that is generated when the "Submit by Email" button is clicked. I only want the data from the "YTDIncStmt" subform to be included in this file. The "MasterData10K1", "MasterData10K2", and "MasterData10K3" are the actual data connections to the MS Access database.
How do I limit the export to only the data the user input?

I have the very same problem! I am importing data from MS Access and trying to export XML data that I can sync with Quickbooks. But the XML file contains some of my binded MS Access fields, which Quickbooks doesn't know what to do with, and rejects my xml files. I am also looking for a way to submit only selected XML data. You ever find a solution/work around?

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

Export data from forms to excel

HI
In my application im trying to export data from forms to excel.Everything works fine.First of all im using get_file_name for selecttion of file and passing it to ole2 package as follows
FILENAME := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'XLS Files (*.xls)|*.xls|',dialog_type=>SAVE_FILE);
     ARGS:=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
     oLE2.ADD_ARG(ARGS,Filename);
     OLE2.INVOKE(WORKSHEET,'SAVEAS',ARGS);
The problem is if i select an existing file the get_file_name itself raises one message ".....file already exists Replace an existing file?"
Similarly the excel also also raises the same message "".....file already exists Replace an existing file?".I want to suppress atleast one of them? Could anyone help for this problem?

     ex_app:=     ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
and more Question:

Ramky48,
Why did you open a new thread when you had gotten quite a few responses and suggestions on the [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=998411]thread where you asked the same question - seems the best thing to do would be to continue on the same thread?
However, your question has nothing to do with JDeveloper/ADF. If you'd like to do it the ADF way, it's trivially easy - you can use the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e12419/tagdoc/af_exportCollectionActionListener.html]af:exportCollectionActionListener component, which does what you are asking for. If you want to use a straight JSP way, there were several good suggestions in the other thread you opened, or Googling "jsp export to excel" will get you about 4.6 million hits; the first 10 or so look pretty promising.

How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!
Example of File Contents:
Link Time =
DD/MMM/YYYY
Random
Text
161 179
bytes of CODE    memory (+                68 range fill )
16 789
bytes of DATA    memory (+    59 absolute )
1 875
bytes of XDATA   memory (+ 1 855 absolute )
90 783
bytes of FARCODE memory
What I would like to have as a final file:
EXCEL COLUMN1
Column 2
Column3
Column4
Column5
Column6
MM/DD/YYYY
filename1
161179
16789
1875
90783
MM/DD/YYYY
filename2
xxxxxx
xxxxx
xxxx
xxxxx
MM/DD/YYYY
filename3
xxxxxx

Is this possible? I can't imagine having to go through each and every file one by one. Please help!!!

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
#     CSV spec
#     - record separator is CRLF
#     - field separator is comma
#     - every field is quoted
#     - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;

    my $f = shift @ff;    # file path
    if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
        warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
        next;

Linking data from PDF form into Indesign CS6

Hello all,
I'll be working on a magazine which has a large section of day camps technical descriptions :
name, contact info, location, short introduction text, activities icons (they have to choose up to 5 icons from a total of 12)
Is it possible to link data from a fillable PDF into predetermined and prestyled text boxes in Indesign CS6?
Would it be necessary to export in an Excel sheet prior?
What would be the best trick in order for the icons to place themselves automatically, if possible?
Thanks in advance

When placing a PDF into InDesign, it's a flat piece of art for each page included. There's no way to manipulate form fields or work with links or anything like that.
The data from the form would have to be collected and converted into an Excel file for placing into InDesign. (Collecting data from PDF forms and converting the Excel format can be done in Acrobat Pro.)

Query Data From Oracle to Excel

Dear all,
Please guide me to solve.

Dharma

Question's Caption is : Data From Oracle to Excel
While you are asking :
data in execel (windows ) move to Oracle Database table (Linux *64)Anyway, if your question is export data from Excel to Oracle then below thread may be of your interest which are saying that you have to install Dg4ODBC on Windows and use the ODBC driver there.
When running DG4ODBC on Unix you need an ODBC driver on this Unix box which can connect to the MS Excel file. I'm not aware of any suitable driver so far that fulfills the ODBC level 3 standard required for DG4ODBC.
So instead of using DG4ODBC, get the Windows software of DG4ODBC and install it on a Windows machine. You can then connect from your Oracle database to the Dg4ODBC listener on Windows which then spawns the DG4ODBC process. This DG4ODBC process then uses the MS Excel ODBC driver to connect to the Excel sheet.

Copying data from Plus to Excel

Hi,
We are having a problem with the Plus version (10.1.2.48.18).
When copying some data from a Plus workbook the headers that standabove columns aren't being copied. This is different then in the full version where headers are being copied.
Is there someway to include header information in a ctrl-c/ctrl-v action? Or is this simply not possible?
TIA.
Jacco

I understand you copy the data from Plus to Excel using ctrl-c/ctrl-v action directly and you can have errors. You have to export directly from plus.
To do it, you have to click File in the menu and select Export to Excel.
Hope this helps.
