PDF file failed to export to Excel

I have tried twice to export a pdf to excel and the program fails consistently.
In both cases the message is that the "Filename.pdf" failed to export. There was an unexpected problem.
The program uploads the file and attempts to convert for 5 to 10 minutes before generating the failure message.
I tried removing the check in the box that says Recognize Scanned Text In:
No help.

i just bought the program and tried to convert pdf to excel it does it but not the way its on PDF
all scrambled, I might as well type everything! but that's not why I bought the license!!

My 22 MB pdf file "Failed to export to Word."

I have tried several times to convert a 22 MB pdf file to Word, but I receive this error message every time: "File failed to export to Microsoft Word. There was an unexpected problem." No further explanation is available. I know my ExportPDF is working, because I have tested several other smaller files. I even tried using a different browser (Chrome and IE) and home and work computers. I checked the permissions of the document and I have all that are available. The pdf document seems to upload OK although it takes a few minutes because it's large, but then I receive the error message. I got the original file from an internet site (legitimate). Any ideas?

Try disabling OCR with these instructions: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3062 to see if that helps.
If it doesn't, please open the PDF in Adobe Reader and choose File > Properties. Let us know what it says next to 'Application' and 'PDF Producer'

When I convert my PDF file to either Word or Excel, the result is garbage and not usable. What am I doing wrong?

I have converted two PDF files to both Word and Excel. The result is garbage and unreadable. I want to edit the content of the PDF file and thought that this was the solution. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably not something wrong you're doing, just the way the file was
created. You can look under File - Properties - Description and see what
application and PDF producer were used to generate it. My guess is it was
not produced using Adobe software.
At any rate, there's no a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid. You can try
re-frying it, ie sending it to the PDF Printer to produce a new copy, and
then exporting that to Word/Excel, but that's about it.

Failed to export to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export a 1,013 KB file to excel, and keep getting the error message 'failed to export to excel - encountered an unexpected problem'
Is there any way to see what the problem is, and how to resolve it?
LizP

Hi Stacy,
There was no scan involved, but there is a company logo on each page. The only difference between the files already converted and the one that failed is the size. This one is 427 pages.
Kind regards,
Liz

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Post Author: Micha
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size. how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7. Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed. How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

Hi Mike,
Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser.
Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
Best,
Sara

Why has my pdf document "failed to export"?

I've just bought a subscription to export and convert pdf files to Word files, and only the second document I tried to convert is refusing to do so, giving the message "failed to export. There was an unexpected problem". Is there anything I can do to get this to work?

Hi Robin,
Can you share the file with us via the File Conversion Issue form? Please include a link to this thread in your description of the issue.

Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
There is something to be said for clarity.
You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
That is all.

When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
File > Duplicate
File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
I posted several times a script editing this resource.
This morning I'm not in a mood allowing me to do your duty.

Question about reducing PDF file size on export

I have a large file that is generates a PDF about 75MB when exported with the "[High Quality Print]" preset. However, I can reduce the size down to to under 5MG in Acrobat if I use the Tools>Flattener Preview>[Medium Resolution] setting (image attached). Is there a way to generate this smaller file directly from InDesign? I couldn't figure out how to do this with InDesign's Flattener Preview or Export options, but it is very likely that I missed something.

Eugene Tyson wrote:
When you choose Smallest File size, it is still using the PDF 1.6 setting.
Change this to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) this will automagically flatten the PDF - which means you shouldn't have to do it in Acrobat.
That should get you a nice small file size, I believe.
Flattening transparency in InDesign will not necessarily yield a smaller PDF file size. Transparency flattening will not automatically convert placed vector artwork to raster images unless that vector artwork is actually involved with transparency. And even then, whether you end up with a smaller file depends on a number of factors.
If the reason for the very large file size is indeed very complex vector artwork and you are willing to sacrifice quality, conversion of such vector artwork to raster might yield a significantly smaller exported PDF file. To accomplish that conversion, I would personally suggest converting the most offensive (in terms of file size and complexity) of such files in Illustrator (assuming that they were .AI files) and exporting them as .TIF files (to avoid the potential imaging artifacts of JPEG compression).

How to Read PDF Files Programmatically in VBA behind Excel

Office 2010. Is there any API or other tool available for Excel 2010 that would enable me to open a PDF, read it line by line (and examine the text on each line) from VBA code behind an Excel spreadsheet? I have Acrobat Pro 9 as well. Is there an API or other tool that would enable me to CREAT a PDF from VBA code behind an Excel spreadhseet?

Reader, no.
Reading PDF:
Acrobat has an API but it is complex to use. PDF files are not divided into "lines" so this requires guesswork, fuzzy logic, and luck as well as detailed study of the Acrobat SDK.
Creating PDF:
You can Print to Adobe PDF programmatically. Limited functionality. Acrobat SDK describes how to suppress prompt.

Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
Also, why the file sizes are so different.
For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
Thanks for any help,
Cathy

> Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
But they're embedded in the PDF.
> It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
it's supposed to work.
Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
recognition...

"click on the link for each error to highlight the location of the error in the PDF file" fails

I'm working on a document which has tables in it. When I run the accessibility checker for 508 compliance, it tells me the document failed the test (g) 4 Table element(s) with no TH child elements and then provides links to the 4 tables in question. Now, when I click on those links, nothing happens. I know it is supposed to take me to the location of the problem table, and in fact this has worked for me in other documents in the past. Why is it not working now? I could really use this functionality because there are more than 4 tables so I can't tell which ones are failing the test without Acrobat highlighting them for me.
Thanks!
Maddie

Hmm, I tried that but it didn't solve the problem. When I searched for the tables there was always something in the code for the table. Also, saving the PDF to HTML really messed up the layout of the file, so it was hard to tell how well it paralleled the code in the PDF file.
However, I don't know if this would give you any ideas, but these are links from the Accessibility Report, from the list "Structure errors: 7 table element(s) with no TH child elements."
This is one that took me to a table:
file:///U|/Booklets/second%20edition%202011-2016/booklet-2/Book.TwoTAGGED.pdf#page=26&high light=50,558,675,180
This is what ALL the other 6 look like (which, when clicked, took me nowhere):
file:///U|/Booklets/second%20edition%202011-2016/booklet-2/Book.TwoTAGGED.pdf#page=0&highl ight=-32768,-32768,-32768,-32768
It makes me think that there are some artifact tables floating out in space somewhere, at the location "-32768,-32768,-32768,-32768."
If there was some way for me to find them and either tag them as artifacts or delete them... that might solve the problem! Do you know if there is a way?
Thanks!
Maddie
