Mass export PDFs to CSV/XML?

Hi,
I remember Acrobat Professional used to have a mass export to CSV function a year or so ago, which I think has now been removed as I can't find it anywhere. I have over 200 PDFs I need in a spreadsheet any which way it will spit them out, no particular format reqs, and can't figure out a way to do this without 3rd party software which I really want to avoid due to the nature of the data I'm handling.
Any thoughts?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

  • Export PDF Form to XML through VBScript

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a way to automate the export of an Adobe PDF Form to XML, either using the Adobe SDK/AcroExch.App or the PDF Test Toolkit.
    I'm wanting to perform this action via a QuickTest Pro Script and thought there might be a funciton already written to perform this action, rather than having to automate the selection of Document>>Forms>>Export Data... from the Adobe Reader Menu and the Export Dialog.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated
    Thanks in advanced,
    Ross

    Hi,
    Are you trying to edit the Adobe Test Toolkit ? If yes, I think it’s not easy to edit Adobe Test Toolkit. If you want to export PDF file to Microsoft XML file and Adobe is not working with you, than I will recommend you to try Classic PDF Editor which can easily export PDF files to Microsoft XML files. Classic PDF Editor also done many other type of file conversation like PDF to Doc, XML, PPT etc
    If Classic PDF Editor solve your problem, must come back share your important views about this software.
    Thanks

  • Exporting pdf to xml

    We want to export pdf data into xml format (the same way as "Export Data" functionality in Adobe Reader). We have a huge set of pdf files to export (approx 20K). We got to know that we can achieve this using Acrobat 9  Professional software. Please suggest whether this is the right approach. Is it possible to achieve the same functionality through some batch program. Your quick reponse will be appreciated, since we require this information ASAP for one data migration activity.

    Hi Bernd,
    Thanks for your reply. Can you please elaborate it more as to how I can sent up batch sequence, what javascript code is required for this purpose and what pre-requisite softwares are required to achieve the same.
    I read somewhere that using Acrobat 9 Pro OOTB functionality, we can convert pdf form data into xml. We have about 20K pdf files currently that needs to be converted to xml. This is just a beginning and we expect more data in pdf files to be convrted to xml in future. We want to evaluate as to whether we can use Acrobat 9 Pro for this purpose,and how we can set this up as a batch sequence so that no manual intevention is required.
    Thanks

  • Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

    Post Author: cpriyanka
    CA Forum: Exporting
    I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
    I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
    And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
    Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
    My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
    In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
    To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports?  If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
    If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
    Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used.  The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

  • How to export pdf as xml with scripting?

    I would like to convert many PDF files to XML format, using Acrobat's File -> Export -> XML 1.0 feature.  It looks like the scripting API is what I need, but I'm having trouble pulling all the pieces together.
    It looks like the Export feature is a plug-in and therefore does not have an explicit method in PDDoc or AVDoc or App.  I guess I need to call the plug-in through some generic mechanism.
    I probably need to
    Understand how to call a plug-in and
    Find the api for the Export plugin.
    Can someone point me to examples or other docs?  I'm not having any success with Google or forum searches.
    I'm new to Acrobat scripting, but not to programming in general.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi All,
    I am using Crystal Reports. Following are details about it:
    CR Developer
    Product 8.5.0.217
    *_Problem that I am facing:__*_
    I can create report in .rpt format, it is working fine here. But while trying to export this report in CSV format, it gives report that doesn't contain any information.
    Is it because I am missing something or it is a known issue?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Anand

    Hi,
    I too am facing the same problem.
    The report was made in 8.5. I have exported the report & opened it in Crystal report 12.
    I can export to PDF, RTF, DOC & Tab separated Test.
    However when I export this report in .csv (legacy mode) I just get the header & when I export it in .csv (Standard) I get a blanck .csv file.
    I have  checked 'Isolate Report/Page sections' and 'Isolate Group sections'. Still no data in the report.
    refreshed it too.
    I contains sub reports, but not in the page header & footer (I think) & it does not seem to have cross tabs & OLAP grids.
    Any help is appreciated.

When export to another formats (such as excel, pdf) the trailing zeros appears correctly. e..g, 100.00 appears as 100, 100.50 appears as 100.5.
    Do you know what can be done in order to have trailing zeros to the right of decimal points to appear in a csv?

  • Why can't I export PDF files?

    I'm trying to create a new library from several smaller libraries and have come across a problem where PDF files aren't included in my library export (File-Library-Export library). The music and video files on the other hand are all intact.
    Trying to troubleshoot the issue I created a playlist with just the PDF files which I then tried to export (File-Library-Export playlist), saving as XML, which (when viewed in TextEdit) revealed that none of the PDF files were shown. Next I tried to add a single MP3 file in that playlist, did a new playlist export and viewed the XML file in TextEdit. This time I was able to see an entry for the MP3 file, but again nothing for all the PDF files.
    I've also tried changing the Media kind (File-Get info, then choose the "Options" tab) between "Book" and "Music". Upon a second inspection ("Get info") it appears nothing was changed, but apparently something changes as the PDF files appear either in the "Music" or the "Books" library section. But unfortunately changing the media kind doesn't solve the problem of PDF files being un-exportable.
    So is this a bug or perhaps even a copy protection scheme preventing copying of ebooks? (note: all my PDF files have been made by myself, so this is not copyrighted/purchased material)
    iTunes 9.2.1, Powerbook G4, MacOSX 10.4.11

    Some things you could try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • How to purchase Export PDF in France - how to overcome security on a PDF file

    I've been trying today to get subscribed to Adobe Export PDF, but since I live in France, it doesn't seem to be available for purchase.  I found a page in French where I was invited to subscribe, but it took me to the French Adobe Store, where this item does not seem to exist.
    However, I did reach a page where I was invited to try it out, which I did with a PDF page, really wanting to transfer it into a .csv file, but tried Microsoft Excel as the nearest available.  However, when it had tried to process this PDF file, I got the message that the security on the PDF document was such that I couldn't export anything from it.  I checked the security on the document and found, surprise, surprise, that yes, I couldn't export from it (or much else either). 
    So, is Adobe Export PDF supposed to override the security on the original documents, or do I have to have another (paid for) version of Adobe in order to use this facility?
    If it is supposed to override the security, how can I purchase, or otherwise access Export PDF in France?
    If the security settings continue to prevent any access, do I have to go to the original provider of the document to get them to change the security settings?
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Perhaps someone can get on to Adobe in France to ask them to make their pages more logical?  i;e. don't invite people to buy something which apparently is not on sale here.  If it is, then please make it available on the store page.
    Thanks

    Good day,
    Unfortunately, our ExportPDF service is not yet available for purchase in France.  Update: Adobe ExportPDF is available in France. 
    As for any security settings applied to a file, you would have to contact the file's originator to obtain the document password and remove that password within Adobe Acrobat (separate program), or obtain an unsecured version of the file.  Our service will not allow you to circumvent any security settings that have been applied to a file.

  • How to export report IN CSV format through JAVA.

    how to export report in csv format.when try to export in csv format.its exporting into csv but report not containing column heading , report heading and it showing all the data in a single line.we have integrated the reports with java.

    Use a Java API which can create PDF files based on some collection of plain vanilla Java objects (List, String, Number, etc).
    Google can find them all. Just feed it with something like "Java PDF API" or so. A commonly used one is iText.
    That said, when talking about this in JSP context, ensure that you do NOT write raw Java code in JSP files using scriptlets. Raw Java code belongs in Java classes. In such case you need a Servlet. In JSP just use taglibs and EL to interact with backend Java code and data. Scriptlets are discouraged since over a decade.

  • Empty sqaures[] in exported pdf stream - crystal api

    Hello,
    Web application using - CR4E version 2.0.16
    Reports design using Crystal Reports 2013
    I am exporting crystal report into pdf file format using crystal java api that gets shipped with Crystal reports for eclipse. The exported pdf stream returned by the api is saved in db as blob so that it can be viewed/sent to printer later. If I view the pdf blob saved in db using acrobat reader I can see the pdf is correct.
    But when I stream blob data directly to printer using java print service for print jobs and PDFRenderer.jar for PDF print pages, the output is empty sqaure blocks []. All the formatting is intact. I can also see number of rows.
    This seems to be the problem for exported pdf's from crystal api's or even if you manually export the pdf from crystal report and save the pdf file from file system in the db.
    Other PDF files work fine but not the ones exported from Crystal report.
    The font properties of the rpt exported pdf shows the encoding as 'Built-in' while the other pdf files has ANSI or other such encodings. That is the only difference I find between pdfs exported from Crystal and other pdf files.
    Can you please tell me how to resolve this?
    Best Regards,
    Bharat

    Hi Manas,
    I am also working on Exporting Crystal report to PDF  in java but facing some problem in accessing the database.
    The .rpt files are published in Crystal Report Server with DB info like server, database, user, password.
    When i am calling from java (Similar to your code), its giving error like JNDI name not found. But i am not using any JNDI binding.
    Do i need to configure database details in any configuration files such as CRConfig.xml etc. If yes, can you pass me some sample code.
    Your help highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Export PDF with TOC

    If I didn't miss something important, it is currently impossible to add a table of contents (TOC) to the exported PDF that will show up in the sidebar of the Preview application. IMO Pages would be a great tool for publishing manuals and other documentation, but without a TOC in the sidebar, this is completely useless.
    Is there perhaps any sort of hack to get around this? (the files are XML, so this doesn't seem entirely impossible). Anyone know of plans that Apple might eventually add this absolutely needed feature?

    This is sound, but it depends on what you are trying to decide. The trouble is that the everyday enduser expects content to be searchable, but below PDF 1.4 there is no support for content structure and even if there is support for content structure in PDF 1.4 there are plenty of preparation processes that produce non-searchable PDF 1.4.
    If - or should one say when - the operating system supports creation of searchable content instead of simply supporting Spotlight as a search service, there is still no list for these problems.
    Funny response.
    The PDFs generated from Pages are perfectly searchable. As far as I know, when we search in a PDF displayed by Preview, it's not Spotlight which does the duty. Same thing when the document is open with Adobe Reader.
    The missing feature is not the search tool, it is the TOC one. It's not a huge task (it was available in the old printToPdf pseudo printer driver under Mac OS 9).
    It's just missing because it is supposed to be useless for many of us. Is it really useless, is it really useful ? I don't know the response at statistically meaningful level.
    To be honest, when I saw that there are two paths to create PDFs from Pages, my first thought was:
    1 - Print in a PDF file generates a flat PDF
    2 - Export to PDF is able to generate one with a TOC.
    I was wrong but I didn't cry for that. I may live without this feature. Missing the search tool would be more annoying.
