Extraction of PDF files into Excel

I'm working with X Pro and have created a 'report.csv' file. On a weekly basis, new PDF's will be created that will need to be added to this report. Is it possible to add new files (which would add rows) to the existing report without having to re-extract and merge all of the PDF files?
Thanks!

I've created a purchasing form for individuals to complete and submit by using the form's 'Submit' button. Once the completed forms are received, they will be saved by a purchase number and will be generated into a Report. csv spreadsheet using the "More Forms Otions", "Manage Form Data", Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet".
Once the Report.csv is created and saved, we'd like to be able to add any new purchase files that are submitted to the existing Report.csv file automatically (without having to create another report that we'd have to cut/paste the newer files to the old report. In other words, we need to add to the existing form and not overwrite with newer material.
Is this possible?

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
supports content export by Acrobat.
To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
or
Garbage In — Garbage Out
"GIGO"

Convert complex PDF file into Excel

I'm trying to convert a PDF file ( 510 pages), consisting of horizontal and vertical charts into excel. The first few pages were fine but the rest were messed up. Every number was displayed in the wrong collumn. Could anyone help? I'm happy to send it to you so you can take a look.
Thank you!

Hi Itzel,
Could you please try converting any other PDF file to Excel and check.
You might sign out, clear the browser cache and then again reload at https://cloud.acrobat.com/.
If the problem still persists, then you might try using a different browser.
Let me know.

Is it possible to extract a PDF file into separate ones but using a specific file name that comes from the PDF page?

Hello,
I am unsure if this is possible but its worth asking.
I have a PDF document that contains 56 pages.
Each page has an 'Agreement Number' at the top left.
I have managed to successfully extract the pages into separate documents (56 documents) but they are all named the same but page 1, page 2, page 3 etc..
What i am trying to do is use these 'agreement numbers' in the extraction process so when they save i have 56 different files but they show the agreement number in the file name.
i have looked into changing the actual page numbers on the page thumbnails to see if you can do it that was to no avail.
any help would be much appreciated, or tell me i cant do it, at least i know ill be defeated.
PS i have around 6 or 7 PDF files with 50+ pages so its a long boring task if i need to go and rename all these.
Cheers
Jez

It would be possible in theory to do it with a folder-level script, provided the string you need is in exactly the same structural position on each page. You would use the doc.getPageNthWord() function to collect the string you want, then the doc.extractPages() function to save each page to a file.
See the Acrobat SDK documentation for help with scripting. http://bit.ly/AXISDKH

Is it possible to convert several pdf files (into Excel or Word) at the same time ?

I'd like to convert several pdf files (up to 500) into Excel at the same time. Is it possible ? How many files can Export PDF handle at the same time ?
Thanks a lot for your answers,
Sylvain

Hi, Sylvain.
This is a great idea! Currently, ExportPDF only can export 1 file at a time. (Acrobat can do a batch export using it's Action Wizard feature.)
I added your idea to our idea list: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/1499. If you'd like to see us add this feature, please go vote or add comment to this Idea on the idea list.

How to turn a pdf file into excel document and keep original format

I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF And once in a while i need to add something to it I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to fix this If not this will be useless to me any help appreciated

A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
No "format", columns, rows, etc.
"When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."

The conversion of a PDF file into excell put all items into the first column, it did not work

The product produced an excel , but put all the different column information into column A .

Try this process:
In the PDF file that you would like to copy information from:
1. Go to Tools>Content Editing panel
2. Click the "Edit Text & Images" button
3. Select the information that you would like to copy and draw a selection square. It should group the information into a selection outlined in blue.
4. Go to Edit>Copy
In the PDF file that you would like to paste information into:
1. Go to Tools>Content Editing panel
2. Click the "Edit Text & Images" button
3. Go to the page that you want to paste your information
4. Select the page
5. Go to Edit>Paste
6. You should now have a selection square that contains the raster information and that you can adjust size by Shift + Click + Dragging the object handle on the corner of the selection square.
Does this work for you?

Problems embedding PDF files into Excel 2003 workbooks

Several of my fellow consultants engaged on a client project were previously able to successfully embed PDF files as objects within Excel 2003 workbooks. However, most recently, a few of them have been encountering odd icon displays for the embedded object (not the standard Adobe PDF icon), resulting in the user unable to view the object (these colleagues are using desktop PCs running Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2). Has anyone encountered this and have a remedy?

Thanks for responding -
My colleagues report that no error messages appear when adding the object to the Excel spreadsheet - however, the object is created with a non PDF icon being displayed. Once the icon is double clicked, nothing appears. The sample of the problem was forwarded to me - where I can see that the object icon is in fact a non Adobe PDF icon (see below). While I am able to open the PDF file with my PC desktop configuration (Windows XP, Excel 2007, Adobe Reader v9.4.1.), those with Windows XP, Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader v9.3.2 can not. Any thoughts?

I am trying to export a PDF file into excel and it shows an error which says,

"An error occured while trying to access the service"

There is absolutely no way to stop any file you put on the internet from being downloaded. That's how the internet works.
Digital Rights Management can control who can OPEN a copy of a file and when. If you are a big company with 5-6 figure budget, this can be interesting.

How to embed and open PDF files within excel

I constantly need to embed PDF files onto Excel documents as well as extract/open/view PDF files from Excel documents. I am unable to do so with a macbook, i know that there is a workaround but it's such a tedious process. Is there a software i can buy or setting that i can do so that i can embed and open PDF files easily as i need to view these files multiple times a day for work.
please advise

Download and install Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Open the PDF file using it. If security restrictions don't prevent it you could also print it.

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

I convered a pdf file to excel, where do i find it

i convered a pdf file to excel, where do i find it

Hi GeneHaas,
Hmmm, personally I run into this all the time. If I don't select 'desktop' it decides where it wants to go! Ha! - now did you check your download folder? Or even recent files under history?
It should also be found within your ExportPDF account.
Let us know if this helped!
