PDF conversion to Excel isn't working

I'm a new user in ExportPDF
Trying to convert a pdf file to an excel file, but conversion comes back as an .xlsx file, which Excell says is not compatible.
Tried renaming it to an .xls file, but this didn't help
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't know if its still available there is was a Converter that can be installed that allows Office2003/4- 2007/8 those application to Read docx, xlsx, pptx files. If you save one of these file in doc, xls, ppt (Binary) format you lose any new features that are in the docx,pptx, xlsx formats (XML format).
It used to be in a website called Mactopia but that has been shut down and moved another area on Microsoft's website.

PDF conversion to Excel spreadsheet not working properly

I purchased the Adobe ExportPDF yesterday. I have tried to convert PDF into an Excel spreadsheet and it does not recognize any of the formatting and it just converts into one big mess in the spreadsheet.

Any one?

Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working

I'm using a fresh install of Firefox 14.0.1. Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working (the reinstall was part of the problem solving). FF is my default browser.

Starting in Firefox 14, Firefox no longer creates registry settings for launching links using "DDE". This has been reported to create two different problems:
* "Firefox is already running" or "Firefox is not responding" error when following links in email messages in Thunderbird ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932461 Can't open links in Firefox by clicking URL in Thunderbird])
* New instance of Firefox launches if the existing instance is running in Sandboxie ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933798 Firefox is running. I click on a link, say in an email, it tries to start another instance of the browswer instead of just opening a new tab as it did before.])
Not sure whether your "silent fail" scenario is related.
It is possible to configure Firefox 14 to use DDE by inserting some settings into the registry. I haven't researched this carefully myself, but there was some information about it on and external site linked in the Sandboxie thread.

PDF conversion with PDF2ID; Hypertext not working when exported back to pdf.

I have done a PDF conversion with PDF2ID, however Hypertext is not working when I exported it back to pdf. I am using the PDF2ID plug-in program to redo all the product booklets for our company as the hypertext did not work when downloaded to any smart phone. All that appeared were blank placeholders in each booklet index page.
According to the PDF2ID people the program plug-in recovers all URLs static and dynamic and bookmarks and local links and suggested I check with Adobe ID5 for help, but Adobe says my $1,000 ID5 is no longer supported and that I should go to the forums.....so here I am.
This is the first time I've even opened my ID5, so I'm a bit lost. Now I need to improve the quality of the PDFs, as we also need to convert all images to TIFF-CMYK in order to have the booklets printed & bound professionally. they tell me ID can do that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ugh...in some companies, that is training.
Don't take this the wrong way David, but of course ID can't do anything. PDF2ID conversions can be sketchy in the hands of the experienced. The same can be said of properly preparing matials for print. As Bob has already alluded, you're in an unfair position there. It's not uncommon for "management" types to just throw some sophisticated tools at a need and expect someone to make it work. In order to do what's being asked of you, you'll have to learn a fair bit about InDesign and production. It's too soon to ask about the output when you haven't learned to manage the input.

PDF conversion to Excel

I get a flag of error signing in when converting pdf file to excel.

Greetings Vivian,
The reason it is not automatic is because it needs to allow subscribers to choose either Excel or Word.
Would you mind sharing the specific error message you are receiving? Have you tried using other browsers such as Firefox when logging in?
Here is a 'getting started' guide that may be helpful as well as our FAQ.
Files.acrobat.com is safe, but of course nothing online is completely guaranteed.
Let me know about that error and if you are able to login again using a new browser.
Kind regards, Stacy

Copying tables in pdf's to excel in Acrobat Standard 7.0.8

Hi there
I am having problems copying tables of numbers from pdf's into excel in Acrobat Standard 7.0.8. I am finding that when I select data in a table, right-click, and select 'Copy As Table', only about 50% of the time will the data be pasted correctly into appropriate rows and columns in Excel. The rest of the time the all of the data is pasted into a single cell making it impossible to work with.
I have tried various permutations of the settings under Edit > Preferences > General > Selection for 'Text Selection Margin' and 'Column Selection Margin', although have never found anything that fixes the problem.
The unusual thing is that I used to have Acrobat version 5, in which copying data from pdf's to excel used to work *perfectly*.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this feature in version 7? Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks.
LK

It only copies correctly if you have a table that was created with the proper markup. It sounds like some of the tables you have appear to be tables, but are missing the markup. As I understand the process in the current Acrobat versions, you will not be able to create the fields correctly in that case.
With AA5 (or maybe it was AA6), you could select a column much like selecting a graphic. That is no longer available, but would have met your need. Bill

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
========================
I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below -
Set a different number for the starting page
Tip To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
Tip To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
Hide All
If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat. I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.

PDF Windows isn't working

Good day all here!
Some days ago - I don't remember after a Windows-7-Professional (64 Bit) and/or and Adobe-Update (they took place on the same day) Acrobat 8.0 Professional (I still use Creative Suite 3.2) isn't working correct anymore. Opening a PDF results in a courrpted presentation mainly without the windows-page-frame and the options-bar of Adobe Acrobat. I can't close the PDF normaly (no "x" visible) and only sometimes when I switch it into the taks bar and back on it works - or not. I'm able to open Acrobat normal by doulbe clicking the icon and when I move a PDF into it seems to works fine.
I would be thankful for any help - thanks a lot!

Will file converting pdf file to excel work with Adobe Reader 10.1, Windows 7 platform?

Will file converting pdf file to excel work with Adobe Reader 10.1, Windows 7 platform? It shows that it is available for purchase but does it perform? Will this work only with Reader XI? Is the conversion done on-line?

Moved to Adobe ExportPDF.
The file is uploaded to the web for conversion. You can manually upload pdfs for conversion with your web browser and/or with Reader 10.1.

Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ...
