Link Excel to PDF Document

I have seen lots of posts for linking a pdf to excel. Nothing related to what I want to do. We use Adobe Acrobat Profesional 7.0.9. I work with excel for bidding purposes(I am in construction) I have a bid document that has several lines where after we are done with Excel I have to hand write in my worksheet numbers on there bid form. I have the bid form scanned and I can manually type my spreasheet numbers on it but that takes a lot of time. I want to link the lines on the PDF to my spreadsheet so when I am done it is already linked to the sheet and I can just print it on there form with my numbers. I don't want to convert the pdf to an excel sheet I just want my excel to be linked to the pdf. I hope that makes sense. I am using Excel 2003 SP3.

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in browser

Hi, Right now I have photos loaded and displayed in my HTML document in the browser next to a report...
What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in a browser?
I use the following procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
This gives an EDIT link to the photo...
select
'[img src="#OWNER#.display_thumb?p_file_id=' || nvl(file_catalog_id,0) || '" /]' "File"
from "FILE_CATALOG"
where "FILE_CATALOG_ID" = :P9_FILE_CATALOG_ID
This is the procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
create or replace PROCEDURE "DISPLAY_THUMB" (p_photo_id in number)
as
l_mime varchar2(255);
l_length number;
l_file_name varchar2(2000);
lob_loc BLOB;
begin
select mime_type, thumbnail, photo_name, dbms_lob.getlength(thumbnail)
into l_mime, lob_loc, l_file_name, l_length
from photo_catalog where photo_catalog_id = p_photo_id;
-- Set up HTTP header
-- Use an NVL around the mime type and if it is a null, set it to
-- application/octect - which may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- The filename will be used by the browser if the users does a "Save as"
htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="' || l_file_name || '"');
-- Close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end;

How to I set an internal link in a PDF document using Preview? After setting a link under the Tools/Annotations menu, the link doesn't work and no detailed instructions are provided via the Help menu other than it showing the pull-down menu selection to make.

No. I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

Styling links for a PDF document

Hello!
I am trying to style my links for this PDF document. They should signal "go forward" or "more information here" in the simplest, most minimalistic manner. Now, I know I've seen symbols like these before, I just can't for the life of me remember where. Anyhow here's my attempt at recreating them:
The blue text gets underlined when the mouse hovers it. The symbol stays the same though.
So what do you guys think? How'd you wanna improve them?
Many thanks!

Also, yesterday the lines around my text field and text boxes....mysteriously disappeared.
Can someone pls tell me how to get them back as I use them to line up my objects.
Thanks~

Sharing and displaying Excel and pdf documents in SAP BO Mobile

Hello all,
I have one quick question. Is it possible to share excel and pdf documents through SAP BO Mobile?
I tried it uploading documents to BO Launch pad and assigning them to Mobile category. I can't see them in my ipad. Is there another way to share these kind of files through SAP Mobile in mobile devices? and how?
Thanks.

No that won't do it. Because my users have their own excels which are not related to BO or BW platforms. They are entering data manually to excel spreadsheets and reporting. We just want to upload them to BO platform and let them share those files with other users.
I know I could create a webi report on top of excel, but we don't want to spend redoing the reports in excel.
Thanks though.

Why, when I click on an email link in a PDF document, does a new tab open?

I convert an excel spreadsheet to PDF. I click on the email link in the new document and it opens a new FF tab and two, not one, two MS outlook emails. Drives me nuts.

I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

Using Oracle Text to search through WORD, EXCEL and PDF documents

Hello again,
What I would like to know is if I have a WORD or PDF document stored in a table. Is it possible to use Oracle Text to search through the actual WORD or PDF document?
Thanks
Doug

Yes you can do context sensitive searches on both PDF and Word docs. With the PDF you need to make sure they are text and not images. Some scanners will create PDFs that are nothing more than images of document.
Below is code sample that I made some time back to demonstrate the searching capabilities of Oracle Text. Note that the example makes use of the inso_filter that is no longer shipped with Oracle begging with Patch set 10.1.0.4. See metalink note 298017.1 for the changes. See the following link for more information on developing with Oracle Text.

begin example.
-- The following needs to be executed

DROP DIRECTORY docs_dir;
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY docs_dir
AS 'C:\sql\oracle_text\documents';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY docs_dir TO text;
-- End sys ran SQL
DROP TABLE db_docs CASCADE CONSTRAINTS PURGE;
CREATE TABLE db_docs (
id NUMBER,

Multiple links in a pdf document

i have a pdf document that is viewed online and has multiple links to it. I would like the customer to click the link and 2 things to happen. 1. a web page opens, and 2. a sepearte pdf opens so that when you close the pdf, the web page is the active document. I want this to all happen in new tab in the browser theyre using. I dont know much about javascript but any help as to why i cant get the links to open properley or the documents opening in new windows instead of tabs would be greatley appreciated.

Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

HT2506 How can I insert a link within a PDF document with preview.app in Mavericks

Would like to create a selfmade table of contents that links to the right place in the pdf document
Thanks for the support!

Preview is not really a PDF editor. You can do basic stuff such as add annotations, insert pages, but you cannot add hyperlinks.

Links breaking once PDF documents packaged

Good afternoon, I'm starting off with a word document that I create hyperlinks to files and folders on a shared drive. I save the file as a PDF and all of the links work fine. But once I package the individual PDF documents into one package all of the external hyperlinks break. Internal links to bookmarks within the document itself work but anything pointing outside of the document or to other documents within the package break.
I am able to use the "tools, advanced edit" to edit the hyperlink to correct the link that points to an individual document or file, but it won't allow me to point to a folder on a shared drive. I have to select a file within the folder.
Is it possible to package the PDF's without the links breaking to begin with? If not how can I fix the links to point to a folder?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Mark

In Windows, a PDF link annotation's action does not support folders/directories as link targets.
You mention making a "package" - is this an Acrobat 8 "Package"?
If so, you would be creating an entirely new PDF that contains the selected files as attachments within the new PDF.
Having changed the "environment" any external links that any of the attached files (within the "Package" PDF) have still have the explicit link syntax to a target external to the contents of the "Package" PDF.
Or, restated - Any existing links within one attached PDF to another PDF attached within the "Package" do not have a link syntax pointing to the second PDF within the "Package".
To have a link between files in a "Package" you'd have to make them manually with the Link tool.
As to "Bookmarks" in MS Word - If within a Word file they will carry over into the output PDF.
If from one MS Word file to another they do not. All you can get is a link to the target Word file.
Note that if the link you make to the target MS Word file is explicitly to a *.doc or *.docx file that is what the target will be for the link in an output PDF.
The Word to PDF process cannot/does not change the file extension form *.doc/*.docx to *.pdf.
Be well...

Thanks

Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

Unwanted links appearing in PDF document

This is a continuation of a question I posted on the Indesign forum http://forums.adobe.com/message/4266495#4266495
I have a document that was created in InDesign 3 and I am currently using InDesign CS5.5. When the document is printed to Adobe PDF I end up with random text that shows as a link. For instance if I hover my cursor over a table in question, the cursor changes to a hand and a box pops up displaying all of the information on the page as a web address. How do I correct this?
I have attempted to remove all hidden data in Adobe Acrobat Pro but this renders the document unsearchable. When I then run OCR the mysteries links reappear.
here is a screen capture of the issue

I am not sure that I am following your advice. The problem is i receive random links which appear on certain pages. the example above happens when I hover anywhere in the table. This particular page does have legitimate web links but when selected they also display incorrect info. I have attempted the following actions with no success: "Remove Hidden Data", "Sanitize Document", "Remove All Links" and various actions using the action wizard (publish sensitive document, create accessible PDF's).
If I add a link like you suggest then yes the link does work correctly but I have to wipe the entire document which in turn leaves the document un searchable.

How do I, or can I add a tap-to-call or tap-to-text link to a pdf document?

I'm making a pdf for my newsletter and I wanted to make my phone number a link that would brink up the dialer on a smartphone. I'd also like the email URL to bring up the email app. I now howto do this on html sites, but the code doesn't seem to be working for Acrobat. I used the create and edit link feature but still not getting the results I want. What other options do I have? my focus is reaching people on mobile devices, via digital marketing. Can someone please advise me. Thanks in advance for your help :-D

PLEASE HELP. Cannot open a PDF document via a link in an email. I am using Mac 10.7.5 and Firefox.

If I receive a PDF document attached to an email by way of an icon, I can double click on the PDF icon and the document opens. HOWEVER, if I receive a link to a PDF document in an email, and I click on the link which leads me to a webpage with another link to a PDF document, when I click on the document, a new web page opens but NOTHING happens - no download box - just nothing.
Please help. This is so frustrating.
Yes, I can right click and 'Save As' - but I don't want to. I want it to open as it used to open - displaying the open PDF document in a new web page.
Then I tried to click on a download button on a website to retrieve my statement - but again, a new web page would open but it would be BLANK. No sign of any download.
When I used to open PDFs on a webpage, I used to get the Download box which asked if I want to OPEN or SAVE. This doesn't appear any more.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have already gone to HD / Internet Plug-ins and deleted the two Adobe PDF plug ins - but this hasn't fixed my problem.
