Is it possible to read PDF file data by using Webdynpro Abap?

Hi,
I have an requirement, where customer will upload an PDF file on an application and i need to read some data from pdf file.
The pdf file contains only text data in tabular format.
In past i developed an application for uploading data from Excelshet by using WDA . But just wondering, whether it is possible to upload the data from Pdf file also. ( Also if not possible then what could be other way to read PDF file data in abap)
Regards
PG

NB - the "data" that is returned by these classes is the data as defined in an adobe form - it doesn't return the content of non-form PDF documents.
The PDF must be an interactive form ( although that doesn't restrict you to using the SAP process for creating the form is my understanding - but I could be wrong. )
Edit - I was wrong! ONLY PDF documents that have been created by the ADS can have data extracted using these classes. So unless you are using Adobe interactive forms - then you will get no value from this functionality - and if you're using AIF then you're probably just use the standard UI element

I know extract data from one PDF document, but i need to get PDFs from portfolio. Can you HELP? Thanks.....

Hello,
I am not sure if this will help. However, I can export data from a portfolio to excel by doing the following:
I extract all the pages from the portfolio into single PDFs
I open the first PDF
Click on Tools
Under Forms, I select More From Options
I select Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet
The pop-up box allows you to add all of the additional files that you made from the portfolio
Click on them then click Export
It will ask for a file name and place to save it.

Importing and printing PDF files

I've got a long list of PDF files and I want to create a generic design where I can import one of these files and then print it. I've accomplished this with .txt files using either ^file or ^passthru but it won't work with .pdf Hard to believe an Adobe product can not handle .pdf
Is there a way, please let me know.
Thanks
Ståle

I am wanting to do the same type of thing with .pdf files. Could you share with me how you were able to get the ^passthru command to work with .txt files? I cannot get the ^passthru command to work at all with any type of file. Where does the ^passthru command go in my dat file? Do I need to make any changes to my design (.ifd) file to accomodate the file I'm wanting to include?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Conversion of PDF file data into ABAP internal table

Hi all,
I am unable to convert the binary data into text format by using some function modules and classes .please find tthe function modules names and classes:
SCMS_BINARY_TO_TEXT,SCMS_BIN_TO_TEXT, CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE,CL_ABAP_CONV_OBJ. But these are not working as per my requirement.
My requirement is we need to upload PDF file (legecy file)which is saved under the PC into SAP and display the same PDF data into the adobe interactive form. For thise i have done coding by using above function modules and classes but i got the unwant on the adobe form i.e display lke "##############$$%%^^&&*((((()))%%%%%%###*^^&&***"
Thanks,
Ramana

I don't understand, the pdf is put into an internal table at
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
the table is pdf and all info for the pdf is there already in a table?
if you continue the source code the only thing is that the table is combined with a file name and makes it happen that you get an actual file.
or do you want to have the pdf in a single field ?
or do you want to store the document on a server where the location is stored in an internal table ??
kind regards

How to extract PDF files into the directory the PDF file is located in.

I use Adobe Acrobat to extract all the pages within a single PDF file to single page PDF files. However the steps are long, as the path to a directory where i wish to extract is thru the net work and the default location for Adobe is to my C:Drive... So I have to Browse the path to extract to Which can be between 10 and 15 steps depending on the job folders. Most programs when you extract, the default path is usually where the file location is, with an option to change the path.. makes sense and is very easy.
So without making a short cut(because the path constantly changes depending on the jobs). How do I extract directly to the folder that the PDF file is in? Example, when you extract a zip file, its default location is right there where the zip file is in. Quite simple and logical.

Thanks Gilad, but that does not make the task easier. The path always changes as the files are being organized into folders. Its kind of sad that $400 software can't do what most free ware can do. Extract itself into the folder it is sitting in.

IPhoto v6.0.5: Import results in incorrect file date sequence

"Undo" is ghosted after importing a pix file set that is ultimately inserted out of correct date sequence. Keystroke "Control-Z" doesn't work either

dblatch:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can edit the Rolls date in the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane. If the image file dates are wrong you can select them and use the Photos->Batch Change to change the date, adding a selected number of seconds, minutes, etc. between each photo if desired.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Reader 9.2 won't print PDF Files (data execution prevention)

I just downloaded updates to reader 9.2 and now pdf files will not print. message of data execution prevention stops the printing process. Help me mister wizard!!!!!

Seems an awful lot of us are having the same problem. When I updated toV9.2 I got the DEP error. Never had a problem with V9.1.3 Try uninstalling 9.2 and installing V9.1.3. If that doesn't work try what some other users have done go back to V8.1.3. I wonder when the Adobe people are going to attend to this problem?

How do I import .wmv or .pdf files into my site?

I have created a slideshow in Photoshop elements, and saved

either one in DW CS3?

you cannot embed pdfs in web pages. But you can upload the
pdf, and make a link to tghe pdf in the
web page.
Clicking on the link will dwonload the pdf on the user's
computer, or display the pdf in their
browser if they have the acrobat viewer pluggin installed.
As for wmv, you can embed it in your page, Google "embed
windows media player" for code examples.
but most mac users don't have windows media player installed,
so they won't see anything, or they'll
see a broken pluggin icon.
Best format for videos (or slide shows) is flash (swf)
because it's installed in almost all browsers.

Importing / Opening Adobe PDF files

I apologize if this topic has been covered in advance but I have searched until I am blue, and cannot locate any help.
Having said that, I was astounded to discover that Adobe InDesign CS3 does not recognize Adobe PDF files!
That deserves a resounding "Shame on you, Adobe!" After all, the whole idea as I understand "Portable Document File" is for easy portability between applications and platforms. For an Adobe application to not open a simple pdf file (text only) is totally beyond me.
Can anyone help with any work-around?
Shaking my head in disbelief is giving me a head-ache!
Thank You,
Jim Myers

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was looking in the wrong places for your posts. I'm not that familiar with using forums.
Thank you to all who have replied.
I guess I need to do a better job of explaining my problem.
My resume was originally created in Freehand. I like the formatting of it, and would like to retain it as is. I've read the writing on the wall since Adobe acquired Macromedia, and fully expect Freehand to disappear.
I have had jobs which required me to use Freehand, as well as those who use Illustrator. They both have their strong points, but I realize we're going to end up with no more Freehand, so I want to port it to an Adobe product. Since Illustrator does not support multiple pages, I thought In Design would be the appropriate application.
I own Creative Suite 3 so I have all of the Adobe design products including Acrobat. I have been opening PDF's in Illustrator for a long time with a lot of success.
However, when I try to "open" or "import" the pdf's that were created by exporting to pdf from within the freehand document, neither option are available. The pdf document is greyed-out when I select "All readable documents" and when I use "All documents" I get this error message:
Cannot open the file "Editable Fonts.pdf". Adobe
InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in
that supports the file format may be missing, or the
file may be open in another application.
I hope I have been clear enough with my problem. Can anyone help?

I'm aware that I can place the pdf in InDesign as a guide, and re-typeset the document, but I'm hoping to learn the proper method for importing a pdf. Although my resume is only 3 pages (including a page of references), I know that I may have an instance with a much more complex pdf in the future.
One possibility is that the pdf created by exporting the Freehand document is not the "proper" pdf? But I don't know for sure, or how I should try to save it out of Acrobat?
I hope I have been clear enough with my problem. Can anyone help?

Can FCP-X import Illustrator or PDF files utilizing inherent transparency?

I've imported PDF files but the inherent transparency just comes in as opaque white. Any thoughts?

Convert to a format with a proper alpha channel like PNG or TIFF or PSD.

Import/export of PDF files via iPad USB port - Apple please!

I am writing here in the hope that some Apple representatives will read it.
I am a scientist working for a large pharmaceutical corporation. In my work I read and annotate a lot of publications. Since forever I have been doing this by printing out publications and annotating them with a highlighter and pencil. With the iPad I would like to convert now to a paperless environment. I bought an iPad2 and learned to use iAnnotate and GoodReader. This part of the conversion to a paperless environment is completed. However, iPad file transfer from and to my work PC is a problem. Let me explain.
We have a Windows Vista environment. Individual PC users are very restricted in the ways they can customize their computers. Wireless is and will not be enabled and installing software like iTunes is not an option. Even transfer of files to external drives is prohibited however that is negotiable. Therefore the only option for me, and I am sure I speak for a lot of scientists at other pharmaceutical companies, would be to use a USB flash drive to transfer PDF between my work computer and the iPad.
As you all know, this is currently not possible. For that reason I cannot implement a paperless environment at work using the iPad.
Therefore my plea to Apple: Please make it possible that iPad software like iAnnotate, GoodReader or Desktop Connect can implement functionality that will allow the transfer of PDF files from and to a USB flash drive using the camera connection kit. Your restriction is seriously hampering the introduction of the iPad into the corporate environment.

Trying to export pdf file data into Excel.

Dear Adobe Community,
I have a file that is 122 pages long and I am trying to export the data into Excel. When I try to copy the pdf info, it shows in Excel as a picture, not the specific data. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and the pdf version is 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x). The PDF producer is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 paper capture plug-in. Are are any suggestions on how to trasfer the data to Excel? Thanks in advance.
Neal
P.S. the file is attached so you can see the issues I am dealing with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the file is still in the checking queue. Do I understand you correctly that the PDF is actual text, or is it a scan? If you scanned it and got just the graphics, you have to run OCR before you can continue. I would do this on a copy of the scan file so that you can always go back to that file as you try things.

Wrong pdf file date

Adobe Acrobat Pro X is saving files with incorrect date (2008). How can I fix that?

You may want to follow along with this thread. Exact same problem except with Reader. See if you have any similarities.
