Is it possible to create a workflow that exports PDF tables to Excel?

Afternoon all,
I've seen that it's possible to export tabulated information within a PDF document to Excel (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-excel-xlsx-converter.html) but this is a very manual process.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create an automated set of steps that I can point to a directory of PDF files, which'll run through the files and export thier contents to Excel. PhotoShop has something similar in its image resizing actions. This'll save me a lot of manual time going forward, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

This is possible with an action in Acrobat Pro.

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource hours into full time units in project server 2010

Hi
Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource available hours into full time equivalent units in project server 2010? Say a resource has 160 available hours for any given month this will translate into 1 FTE for this month. If it is 80 hours
for that month then it will be 0.5 FTE and so on and so forth.
Thanks,
-Maurizio

Maurizio,
It's a bit late, but there are two OLAP cubes that can provide you with this information in a pivot table in Project Server 2010.
"MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer" and "Resource Timephased" contains capacity measures that be used to provide calculated measures when the cube database is generated. You change OLAP cube configuration in "Server Settings -> Database Administration -> OLAP
Database Management". In either of the aforementioned cubes, use "Calculated Measures" to create two measures:
Member Name
MDX Expression
Available (FTE)
([capacity]-[work])/[capacity]
Work (FTE)
[Work]/[Capacity]
These two fields will appear in the pivot table field list as "Values", and when combined with a "Time" column, can give you a picture of FTE usage and availability.
I prefer the portfolio version since it contains project/assignment data and resource data, letting you see just how resources are being utilized.
One thing I have not been able to get around is getting ""Maximum Units" for a resource factored into the measure. A common practice is to allocate more that "100%" to generic resources to represent teams for planning purposes. The OLAP measures will show
only 0.0 to 1.0 FTE for any resource, even if a resource represents more than one body.
If you have an SSRS query you could share, I would appreciated it!
Hope this helps!

Hi Sara,
Many thanks for your reply. We just brought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro complete
with Adobe Forms Central, My manager asked whether I could use the forms
part to create a summary tracking sheet for all of our contracts.
Having looked at it I could see how to create a table that in the first
column deleted costs from a starting fund, and in the last keeps a running
total of all monies spent.
I agree, Excel does seem to be much better suited to the task. I was try

Is it possible to create a script that does this?

Hey there,
I can work my way around a Mac pretty well, but as for coding, I'm not as good. Hopefully someone will know how to do what I'm looking for:
I do a lot of school assignments on my computer, and I've recently utilized an online service that allows me to sync up my files on my computer with their servers (like MobileMe, but not). Anyway, this is great and all, but this service is virtually useless if I'm trying to access a Pages publication via my school's computers which run Windows and, consequently, Microsoft Word 2007. However, they ALSO run Adobe Reader. Is it possible to create a script that, every time I save a Pages publication, automatically creates a PDF export of that same file in the directory where I'm working? Also, when I update the Pages file, it'll automatically update the PDF file?

Saving a script as a Script, an Application or an Application bundle requires the use of the Script Editor as explained in the System (Finder) help.
step 1:
open the script in the Script Editor
step 2:
compile it clicking the "Compile" button
step 3:
Save the script from the "File > Save" menu:
To save as "script" select the "script" menu item
To save as "Application" select the "Application" menu item
To save as _"Application Bundle"_ select the _"Application Bundle"_ menu item
The files which I post are saved thru the "Text" menu item which attache the extension name ".applescript" telling that it's an _Applescript's text file._
All these infos are given in resources pointed by my late messages !
Now are infos which maybe you will not find in the Apple's resources
I use the text (.applescript" format because it embeds nothing related to my machine.
To work from the Scripts menu, my best choice is "Script" which appears to be the fastest one.
"Application" is slower and sometimes gives odd results on MacIntels.
"Application Bundle" behaves well on every machines but is slower than "Script".

Is it possible to create a bean that will generate (fill up) applet paramet

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your reply siv viv,
I've posted this thread because I'm a little bit disappointed with Applet and jsp according to lot of thread about this subject (it seems that communication between applet and jsp is not easy : bug reported).
The basic thing i want to do is to create a dynamic Pie Chart as applet or bean so i need to set applet parameter thanks to variables.
See the http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=80250 this one is putting me in the dark.

Creating a Workflow to print PDFs with certain attributes

I work in the media dept of a college and am looking for an easier way to print students coursework which they export from Adobe Indesign CS4 as a PDF file.
I have managed to enable printing all PDFs on Tabloid extra paper from my network printer, by setting the default print settings. I have the printer in my dock so all I need to do is drag the PDFs in a folder to the printer icon on the dock and it prints all PDFs.
This is great, however I would like to have more control over this process. If possible I would like to print only the PDFs that have a certain format.
The students are supposed to export there PDFs from Indesign with the "spreads" checkbox checked. This produces a document that has a number of A4 sized pages in portrait and 1 A3 sized page in landscape.
I want to know if there is anyway of printing of the correctly formatted PDFs, whilst skipping the incorrectly formatted PDFs, without having to go through all the PDFs and check the formatting before printing?
Any help or ideas on this would be great.
Thanks

Hi There
Thank you for your response.
I managed to create a workflow that can be started automatically upon the creation of a folder in my document library. I then added an Impersonation step where I used the "Remove list Item Permissions" & "Add List Item Permissions" actions.
The challenge I am faced with is on the Remove Permissions action, I want to remove all inherited permissions for all existing users and only leave Users with Full Control. Is there a way to select All Existing Users in one function and perhaps
pass that as a "Selected Users" parameter? Currently I have to select the users/groups individually and there are over 100 existing users/groups to choose from.
Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Is it possible to create many primary key for a table?

hello sir/mam.
i am selva, i am new to abap,
is it possible to create many primary key for a table?
please guide me.

Hi Selva,
Many Primary Keys = Composite Key.
i.e some set of columns will enable you to identify a unique row from a set of rows in the table.
This can be achieved by checking the primary key check box in se11.
Hope it helps.

Create a workflow that pulls data from a list based on a person in the list and emails that person

I am trying to create a workflow in SharePoint 2010 using SharePoint Designer.
I have a list [ExceptionList] of users each associated with a sponsor. A sponsor can have multiple users aligned to them. I need to create a workflow which emails the sponsor with their associated users.
Example:
John, Bill, and Kelly are listed with Bob as their sponsor. I'd like an email sent that will pull the names of John, Bill, and Kelly into the email so that Bob can validate that he is still their sponsor.
I know how to create the basic workflow email, but am not sure how to pull in the related names into the body of the email. I assume I will need to build a string.
Anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use workflow to send an email to the sponsor with the users’ names who are belonging to the sponsor.
I recommend to create another list to store the users’ names who are belonging to the sponsor and then email the sponsor with the values in the list.
In my test, I created another list called test list and created two columns: user(store users’ names) and Sponsor(store sponsor’s name). Fill the list with all the sponsors and leave user field as blank.
After that, create another workflow associated with the ExceptionList to get all the users’ names who are belonging to a sponsor to fill in the user field in the test list and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
And then you can send email with the value in the user field in test list to the sponsor.
Best regards.
Thanks

Is it possible to create a component that takes two inputs?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create a custom JSF component that takes two input values and assigns them to a managed bean?
For example, a component that displays two input boxes?
The tag would look something like this:
<my:component value1="#{bean.value1}" value2="#{bean.value2}" />I've tried, but I can't get the values to update the managed bean.
I'm starting to doubt that it is possible, as their is only 1 setSubmittedValue method :(
Thank you,
Ristretto

Hi Prosun Bondopadhyay ,
Component controller is the base of a wda component. its can be considered as the base class. all the other views can be considered as the sub classes of component controller. so without the base class there is no existence for sub class rt?
like we can use all the methods and attributes of a component controller(main class) across all the view(sub class) and the viceversa is not possible.
hence we cannot create a wda without component controller.

Creating a stroke that used in table

Hello,
I'm using Indesign CS4.
I have a table that needs horizontal rules that need to be indented by 2 mm on the left and right hand of the table. There also needs to be a gap of 2 mm in the middle of the table.
I thought I could create a stroke to resolve this problem but I cannot seem to create a stroke that does this.
I tried to use the help but this did not really help me any further.
I want to create a stroke that I can apply to a table row that does the following:
indents 2mm
Draws a rule of 42 mm
indents 2 mm
Draws a rule of 42 mm
indents 2mm
This is what I would to use the stroke to create the horizontal rule highlighted below:
Is there a better way to do this?
Cheers Joe.

In my experience, anchored objects in table cells go haywire when the document is exported as INX and re-opened.
Bob's idea is probably the least bad, I admit, but just for the record, here's how you do it "when you use the application properly":

How do you create a chart that resizes as table of data resizes

I have a table which has a variable number of constituents (for the x axis). I have a variable field that determines a matched look up from a much larger database and this populates a table which in turn feeds my chart. Only problem is at the moment the chart has to read data from a v large set of data to capture any eventuality - in this case the graph often has a large gap to the right when data isn't in the table.
Excel can get around this. Can Numbers?
Thanks.

You can filter your table so non-blank rows are hidden. The chart will then not include those rows.

Possible to include merge fields with exported PDF?

Hello,
I have only a simple question - is it possible to include data merge fields when exporting to pdf?
Using InDesign CS2, we are doing a direct mailing campaign and having the printing outsourced. It is a 4 page document with only page 1 personalised - sending to over 1,500 recipients.
The printer says he doesn't want our indesign file, he just wants us to create the 4 page indesign document, prepare the data merge fields, export to pdf and then send it to him.
He says he'll then import it back into his own indesign one he gets this pdf and do the merge himself with the excel .csv file we provide.
Does this sound about right? If so, how can I ensure the pdf is correct to send over?
I have managed to get the data merge fields to be clickable like links in the exported PDF by including 'hyperlinks' and 'interactive elements' when exporting - but is this correct?
Thank you in advance for all your help...

The printer is right that he can use your pdf. It is ok to place a pdf into InDesign. It might fit into his workflows and experience to do this work so.
I would recommend to use a PDF/X4 with bleed as the printer requieres to place into an INDD file. But you should communicate with your printer how he wants it.
