Linking PDF and Excel File

Is there a way to link a PDF to an excel file so when the end user types in information it will auto populate what they are looking for? I would like for the end users to be able to search for their contact information by inputting their zip code and it populate in the PDF.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not even sure where to start.

Yes, but it's very complicated and requires a set of custom-made scripts.
The easiest way of doing it is by converting the Excel file to a plain-text
file (like a CSV file) and then attach that file to the PDF and use it as
the data source for the script that populates the fields.

Where does workspace store the pdf and excel file ?

Hi,
I'm working on a Web Analysis project and I have created a dynamic web menu based on the workspace repository to improve the poor capacities of WA in terms of menu. I use the javascript API to control the WA applet from the menu.
Now my problem is that my customer created a folder in workspace (which is translated into a sub menu of my dynamic menu), and that folder contains pdf and excel files. The function openFile which I use to open report in the applet doesn't work on pdf and excel files. So I've been looking for the files on the server, to know where they are stored, so that I could just modify the java class that generates the menu.
I couldn't find those files on the server. Where are they ? Are they stored in the database as an xml string like the report s ? If yes then I might have a problem.
Has anyone already done this ?
Thanks for your help.

Tomcat stores it in the work dir under $TOMCAT_HOME.
There'll be directories like localhost%2f<urcontext>..
As for as JSP changes being recognized, try refreshing ur browser....

I cant get my PDF and Excel files to open on my iphone help!

Has any one had problems opening a pdf file or excel file in the ISO5 platform, if so how did you fix it

I use PDF File Viewer, a free app.
I would download Keynote, Numbers and/or Pages for iOS; they are quality apps made by Apple. You can create, edit and view documents, but these apps are $9.99 each, on the other hand they are of the upmost quality.

Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into a pdf.

Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into
a pdf. Any advice?

To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.
Be well...

Office, PDF and CAD files upload into the dms system and viewing them .....

i have uploaded a excel file into the dms server
i dont want others to save the doc , while viewing in the sap viewer.( made necessary setting)
any setting required for me to do this???
i am able to view the office files in sap viewer, can i have the same option for PDF also??? and the same to CAD files also?
Regards
surya

Dear Surya,
of course you can have the same behavior for PDF and CAD files. You just have to create a new workstation application for these filetypes in transaction DC30 and maintain the correct parameter so that these files are also viewed by the integrated ECL Viewer.
For further information please see the following link:

Excel files with fields linked to other excel files take a long time to open from SharePoint library

Trying to track a problem for a user.
Most of the documents opened from our SharePoint libraries appear to open in a timely fashion.
But...one user has noticed an issue, and I just noticed something with her files that are a little less common than other stuff we've seen.
she has a lot of pricelist excel files. there are some master price list files, and then other files that link to fields from within the master files.
the files that contain links to other files appear to be the ones that open very slowly.
the files are being opened via excel itself, not the owa viewer or editor.
is there a trick to setting up either the library, the site, site collection or web app... or some client-side setting that affects how quickly/efficiently excel will open files that link to other excel files shared within sharepoint?

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:

If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.

I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file. The error message states: Acrobat.com could not save this file. The file might be open in another application and cannot be overwritten.

Did saving ever work or did it fail the first time you tried?
Have you tried to save to multiple locations? Maybe it has something to do with permissions on the directory you are trying to save to.
Have you tried saving something from another web site to the same location? Try creating and saving a file in/from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#o and see if that has the same result.
Thanks,
Josh

Can't download pdf and xls file

Hi, I want to download an attachment from my gmail .When I clicked to download, it will go to icloud.com and displayed like this."Your file will begin downloading automatically.Don't see it? Try again>
The attachment contains both pdf and xls files.
I have tried many times.
Please help me.

Hi amusa123,
I don't get it. So let me try to explain again what you are describing:
- You open a mail in Gmail (I guess Gmail in the browser, right?)
- This email has an attachment (a excel sheet, right?)
- You try to open the file, which immediately starts downloading the file to your Mac (usually the file gets downloaded into the Downloads folder)
What I don't get, where do you receive a message regarding icloud.com?
With kind regards,
David

Adding a link to an excel file in DVD Menu?

Can you add a link in the DVD menu to open and excel file?

This will be an option for those who have excel installed.
I am already including the file on the DVD in a folder called Excel File. However, I would like to make it easy for those who choose to open it. Other wise PC users need to the following:
1) Go to My Computer
2) Right click on the DVD
3) Click "explore" (Not open - which many will do)
4) Open the Excel File folder
5) Open the file
So my reason for doing this it to make 5 steps into 1.

Attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails.

I am desperately trying to figure out how to attach .pdf and .doc files to Reply emails in the Mail app. I have downloaded GoodReader, but when I go into "Manage Files" and choose "Open in...", Mail is not one of the apps listed for me to choose from (only Quickoffice and iBooks are listed, that's it). My Gmail account is pushed to the Mail app, if that's relevant at all.
I'm hoping to be able to attach documents to Reply emails in the Mail app, but if I have to do it using my web-based email, that's better than nothing. I just really need to be able to attach them to Replies, and not compose a new email from scratch.
I'd REALLY appreciate any help with this!
Thanks.

I thought I might be able to figure out a clever work-around by using cut and paste from a new message but this did not work as expected. I have been using the MobileMe iDisk app to store pdf files and then just mailing out the links. I believe my cut and paste method would have worked with this, however I've got about a year now to figure out another way to do this if it is not included in Apple's new cloud service. This has actually been a better as I need to worry less about file size and don't need to have the files stored on the device.
You may want to look into what on-line file storage solutions are out there and if they have the ability to send links to files to colleagues, possibly with password protection.

How do I generate PDF and CHM files from the a command line in windows?

I am trying to set up a PC to build some documents during the night. I was looking for a way to get framemaker to generate PDF and CHM files via a command line in windows? How is this done with FrameMaker 12
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hi,
The part with generate a PDF via a jsx seems to work OK, except when FrameMaker decides that it will not work anymore. I must say I am not impressed with the stabillity of FrameMaker 12, there is room for a lot of improvement!.
I have given up on how to figure out how to get FrameMaker 12 to generate chm files via jsx scripts, any pointes are still very welcome.
The route I have taken is I make a RoboHelp project for each chm files I need to generate. The only thing this RoboHelp project contains is a link to the actual FrameMaker project I want to generate a chm file.
To make the chm I start RoboHelp with a script that
1) Opens the desired project
2) Sets the desired output chm files name
3) Generates the chm file
4) And finally quits RoboHelp
Below is a copy of the jsx in case anyone can reuse anything. And yes parameters are transfered via enviroments variable. I have later learned there is some way to read the parameters given at a command line but this seems to work so I stick to this for now.
// Get parameters
var RhProjName = $.getenv("RH_PROJ_NAME");
var RhChmName = $.getenv("RH_CHM_NAME");
var RhLogFileName = $.getenv("RH_LOGFILE_NAME");
var RhLogFile = new File(RhLogFileName);
RhLogFile.open("w", "TEXT");
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_PROJ_NAME : ", RhProjName);
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_CHM_NAME : ", RhChmName);
doc = RoboHelp.openProject (RhProjName, 1);
var sslmngr = RoboHelp.project.SSLManager;
for(var i = 1; i<=sslmngr.count; i++){
var ssl = sslmngr.item(i);
if(ssl.name == 'Microsoft HTML Help') {
    // Set the output location and file name
    ssl.setSpecificProperty("DestinationProjectName", RhChmName);
    if (doc.saveAll(true) ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned FALSE");
    if ( ssl.generate() ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned FALSE");
} else {
    // alert ("Found " + ssl.name + " dont do anything");
doc.saveAll(true);
RhLogFile.close();
RoboHelp.closeProject();
RoboHelp.quit();
