How to automate the process of converting a pdf to excel online?

Hi,
Each morning I recieve a bunch of pdf files form my clinet and I need to convert all of them to MS - excel and then use them for further calculations.
This is a repititive, tedious and time consuming process.
So the idea is to automate the following steps-
1. Open the pdf file from the suggested/given location
2. Convert it to excel- online
3. Save it at a desired location
4. Repeat the process for all files.
Can some one please suggest how to write and execute the code to fulfill this algorithm?
Thanks
Vivek

Hi, Vivek.
Currently, ExportPDF can only handle 1 file at a time. Adobe Acrobat can do batch export to Excel, however.
This idea has already been added to the ExportPDF Ideas list ("Export multiple..."). If you'd like to see this improvement to ExportPDF, please add your vote or comment here.
Thanks.

How to automate the process of Uploading RPD ?

Hi All,
I am on 11.1.1.6.0 and Windows server 2008. What I am wanting to do is to automate the process of uploading the repository on my development server and restarting the server automatically. And I want this to happen 3 times a day at specified intervals. For ex, I want that automatically, at 6:00 AM, 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM everyday my MUD repository should be uploaded to my development BI server without any manual intervention whatsover.
I know this can be done using the wlst sctipts. I have couple of questions around that will appreciate if anybody can answer both of them.
1. I don't know and understand the language which wlst scripts use. And even if somebody gives a ready script I should be able to understand that. So the question is from where can I learn that language. Like for BIP, we can learn xslt from w3 schools. How can i do for wlst tool/ scripts?
2. Lets say I learned the language and created a script abc.py which uploads the repository. But How will that be automatically called or run on my Development Server? By a windows batch script? If yes, then who will run that windows batch script ? Do I need to manually run that? Or running of Windows Batch script can also be automated and can be run at specified intervals as I want?
I'll appreciate if somebody can explain me this in detail.
Thanks,
Ronny

How to automate the process of creating BIAR files

Dear All,
Is there any way I can automate the process of creating BIAR files from the repository (Crystal / Webi reports)?

Hi
please check the administration guide for BO XI 3.1 (look in the chapter BIAR command line tool)
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf]
You can generate BIAR files from the command line and thus automate this at OS level.

2.Plant Manager then will fax the Invoice to a central location/Team
3.It gets scanned and gets uploaded in SAP

Automate the process of making interactive PDFs

Hi
We have quite a large number static PDF forms and would like to convert them into interactive form (with text box, radio, form fields, etc...) so our users can fill in the forms. However some of our forms are big e.g. 16 pages with repetitive fields. At the moment we're using Lifecycle designer ES 8.2 to manually put the form fields in, a simple form could take us 1 hour to do.
I was just wondering if there's a way to somehow automate this process so it's less manual, otherwise our wish to become interactive will nearly be impossible.
If not possible with lifecyle, is there another product that could help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Because it sounds like you are placing fields over an existing form layout, it is unlikely that you need 'dynamic' behaviour like fields becoming hidden/visible or creating more instances of objects.
If this is the case then you could use Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro to add fields to the layout.
When you open your existing form layout in Acrobat, go to the Forms menu and click "Start forms wizard". This will examine the layout and make a first stab at placing fields on the layout. So for example, if it comes across a square shape it will place a checkbox. If it sees a series of circles it will places a radio button exclusion group.
You may need to work on the objects, but it would be a good start.
This would be an AcroForm (eg developed solely in Acrobat) and would not involve LC Designer at all. You can script objects for calculations and other behaviour.
LC Designer does not have the same ability to automatically place objects over a layout.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to automate the data load process using data load file & task Scheduler

Hi,
I am doing Automated Process to load the data in Hyperion Planning application with the help of data_Load.bat file & Task Scheduler.
I have created Data_Load.bat file but rest of the process i am unable complete.
So could you help me , how to automate the data load process using Data_load.bat file & task Scheduler or what are the rest of the file is require to achieve this.
Thanks

To follow up on your question are you using the maxl scripts for the dataload?
If so I have seen and issue within the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that if you do not have the full maxl script path with a batch when running it through event task scheduler the task will work but the log and/ or error file will not be created. Meaning the batch claims it ran from the task scheduler although it didn't do what you needed it to.
If you are using maxl use this as the batch
"essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" Or you can also use the full path for the maxl either way works. The only reason I would think that the maxl may then not work is if you do not have the batch updated to call on all the maxl PATH changes or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the essmsh command to work in a command prompt.

Automate the process of saving Framemaker documents (*.fm) as Xml Files

Hi,
I am new to framemaker. We have a list of Framemaker document files (*.fm files) coming into a folder. We need to pick up these files and convert to xml format (same as the saveAs opertion from the File menu).
I have written the follwing function to Save fm files to xml
Code to Save fm files to xml files
function saveAsXml (doc) {
   // Get required parameters for the save function.
    var params = GetSaveDefaultParams();
    var returnParamsp = new PropVals();
    // Replace the .fm extension with .mif.
    var saveName = doc.Name.replace (/\.[^\.\\]+$/,".xml");
    var i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileType);
    params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtXml;
    // Save the document as XML.
    doc.Save(saveName, params, returnParamsp);
How to automate this process so that code checks -
1) New fm files in the folder
2) Saves the fm file as xml
3) Moves the saved fm file to a different folder
Thanks,

[Message moved to Scripting Forum by moderator]

Have a look at the sample script below. The "while" loop waits for the specified number of milliseconds, then reads the contents of a directory and processes every individual file in the directory. In my example, it just prints the file path to the console. You would replace this part with your Open / Save as / Move sequence.
For more file system commands, refer to Adobe's Javascript Tools Guide, "File object functions".
var stop = false;
while( stop==false ) {
    // Wait for 20.000 ms
    $.sleep(20000);
    var fld = new Folder("c:/incoming");
    var filesInFld = fld.getFiles("*.fm");
    for(var f=0; f < filesInFld.length; f++) {
        // process the individual file
        $.writeln(filesInFld[f]);
    // Exit the loop after 19:00
    var time = new Date();
    if( time.getHours() > 19 ) stop = true;

Can I automate the process of printing booklet?

Can I automate the process of printing booklet?
I use a saved Print Preset named "A5 booklet"
I supply page range 1-16 then print as pdf using PDFCreater.
File Name as 01.pdf, then pages 17-32 as 02.pdf and so on.
I am aware that InDesign provides printBooklet() method through scripting, but I have no clues how to use it.
Any links or scripts are welcome.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks stephen0218 for the idimposer link.
I'm aware of Print Booklet... functionality, and I am currently using it to manually print booklets from InDesign files.
I want to automate the print booklet task itself.
I make 01.pdf with page range of 1-16, then 02.pdf with page range 17-32 and so on.
It is not that much tedious for small files of upto 160 pages, which generate 10 pdf files. But for larger projects of upto 600 pages, the manual work is very time consuming and error prone process.
I tried to call "document.printBooklet" function in JavaScript, but got stuck in supplying dynamic page ranges.
Here is the Documentation.
It will be a great help if anyone can help me here.
Thanks and regards.

How to automate the loading of Correspondence attachment and templates

Under the "*Administration - Document*" screen, in our application ( version 8.0.0.3 Public Sector ) , we have 4 tabs / views , they are "*Correspondence Attachments*", "*Case Attachments*", "*Correspondence Templates*" and "*Literature*". We are going to have at least 3000 of these files that are needed to be loaded into each of this view. Is there a way to automate the process of the bulk loading of these documents / files into Siebel ( The Siebel operation performed could be Insert , Update or Delete ).
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks
S

"2. To avoid the above painful process as an ongoing task, setup the document server for
handling this more smoothly. Refer Correspondence, Proposals, and Presentations Guide."
We do have document server component up and running. But if we have 3000 templates that need to do loaded into Siebel , how can document server would help in this sense without having someone to manually creating a new Correspondence Template record ? I am looking for an automated process that can be reused repeatedly.
