PDFmaker files missing using Excel 2003

I have a workstation that gets the "PDFmaker files missing" message whenever using acrobat to create a Excel 2003 file PDF.
Using Office 2003 and Acrobat 8.1.3 on Windows XP SP3
I have seen may posts on this but have not seen a resolution. Has this been resolved?? If so what is the solution??
Yes we can print to a PDF from Excel but the user wanted to just use Acrobat instead of having to load the files in Excel each time.
Thanks Jack

Having the same problem here. Doing a repair install did not fix it.
Vista 32-bit with 9.4.4 acrobat installed.
I have a test machine that is also Vista 32-bit with 9.4.3 and confirmed that it indeed does work. Going to update that machine and see if I can duplicate the issue.
Printing to PDF did work tho with 9.4.4.

Acrobat 9.0 PDFConverter toolbar missing in Excel 2003

For some reason the PDFConverter toolbar disappeared in my installation of Excel 2003. I remember an error message flashing up but apparently I didn't pay enough attention. That happens all to often unfortunately.
After an hour of searching several websites, including these adobe forums, I found a procedure that was written for Acrobat 7.0 but it also solved my problem with Acrobat 9.0. I added this thread in the forums with the intent of making it easier to find for the next person.
The answer I found is response #2 in this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/2152995
The question that began the thread is "Acrobat 7.0 Missing PDFMaker files and won't pdf files"
The answer was posted by user J.O.S. on August 4, 2009
The answer she/wrote is:
I have had this problem with nearly every version of Adobe Acrobat up to and including 9.0
Here are four things I do to resolve this issue in order of time/difficulty:
First, I made sure that the Adobe Acrobat plug-in wasn't disabled.
In any Microsoft Product such was Word, Excel, etc. go to Help>About Microsoft (Word/project, etc) and then click on the 'disabled items' button.
If the plug-in is disabled, select it and enable it again.
Second, I make sure the PDFMaker files are registered.
I open a command prompt and navigate to the PDFMaker plug-in dll files in Adobe.
In Adobe Acrobat 8.0 the file path is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\PDFMaker\Office
I then type in:
regsvr32 PDFMOffceAddin.dll
That should enable the Office PDFMaker plug-ins.
Third, I make sure that the AcroDist.exe application path was configured properly in the registry.
If it isn't, I just create it.
Registry path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
Look for the entry "AcroDist.exe"
If not there, create it - it is a 'Key". (right click on App Paths and choose New>Key)
In the AcroDist.exe key the (Default) value should be:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe
depending on which version of Adobe Acrobat you have. Essentially you put the absolute path for the AcroDist.exe file in there.
The only other entry in the AcroDist.exe key should be the String Value Path. If it isn't there, create it (right click and choose New>String Value)
The name of the String Value should be Path and the value should be the path of the AcroDist executable. e.g.:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\
Close out the registry and try to use the PDFMaker again
If that still doesn't work then I run a repair on Adobe. If THAT doesn't work then I completely uninstall/reinstall.

In Adobe acrobat pro, go to the Edit/Preferences menu and select the internet menu and make sure the Display PDF in browser item is checked.
Click the Internet settings button and go to the advanced tab and make sure the Enable third-party browser extensions is checked.
THen open the 32 bit version of IE9.

Printing Excel Instance from InfoView using Excel 2003

Hi
I have problem with printing Excel instance within InfoView. We are using Active X as viewer - but when user schedules report in Excel and when it opens that instance - it opens in Web Excel viewer within InfoView. At that point there is no standard menu if user uses Office 2003 or actually Excel 2003 on its own machine so user cannot print instance. Can anybody help with this. If you try to open instance on machine that has Office 2007 there are no problems since instance gets open in full Excel.
Thanks

What version of Crystal Reports are you using? Any service packs or hot fixes installed?
Can you open other xls files with 2007?
Have you ever exported to excel before?
I export to -excel (97-2003) data only- and open the files with Excel 2007 with no problems. Excel 2007 complains about the old format (xls) and wants to convert it to the new excel format. I alsways ignor it.
Maybe the 'garbage' you are seeing is because the layout of your crystal report is not working for the export. Is all the data there but you have extra cells and/or lines, or the data is pushed to the left? I find that I must have the fields packed tightly with no space between them and no space above or below the fields, or I get extra cells between and lines above or below them.
Most of my exports are detail lines with a single line header and columns are set to match the detail line. When exporting multiple lines where the fields do not line up exactly with the ones above them, I may use one or more empty text fields that matches the size of the fields above them to fill the empty space. Sort of like:
line 1:{field1.}{field2...}{field 3}
line 2:(text...}{text.....}{field 4)
And you may need to turn off 'can grow' on all fields as they may cause miss-alignment. All the data will be there when you export it, even what you can not see in Crystal. You will just need to format the cells in Excel to see it.

PDFMaker Files Missing Suddenly - Is there a fix?

after last update suddenly get missing pdfmaker files do you want to run the installer in repair mode when trying to make a pdf. I've already spent a good amount of time on google and nothing i've tried seems to fix the problem.
Running Win 7 Pro 64 bit w/all updates, Office 2010 Pro 32 Bit w/all updates, Adobe Acrobat Pro XI w/all updates
So far i have verified that the Acrobat pdf maker add in was enable in ALL office applications of which it already was enabled.
I also uninstalled Adobe, cleaned all things adobe from the registry, did a fresh install of adobe, ran all latest updates and still get the error msg.
If anyone has something else I can try, let me know.
Thanks

I had already done repair and a full re-install.
I actually just did powerful uninstall + reg/file cleanup of both acrobat and office 2010 then re-installed both after a reboot and it's now working!. I think the key was re-installing office as well as adobe since just a clean install of adobe didn't work the first time.

Return String from Oracle stored proc using Excel 2003 VBA

Hi to everyone,
I've got a problem that remains unsolved for many days. I am trying to return a value of an oracle stored procedure using Excel VBA. It might seem trivial, however it's not for someone, who has never done it before...
OS: Win XP SP3
Excel 2003
Ora Client: 11g
By trying different things I have noticed, that I could have troubles with the ODBC-connection. Maybe I am not using the right one. To store data returned from select statements I have an ODBC-Connection (Driver: Oracle in XE), which works perfectly, e.g.:
Sub Extract_Data()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim db_name, UserName, Password As String
cn.Open db_name, USerName, Password
sql_statement = "SELECT some_text FROM some_table"
Set rs = cn.Execute(sql_statement)
rs.MoveFirst 'jump to the first entry in the data list
Row = 2
While Not rs.EOF
'save the data to a worksheet
ip.Cells(Row, 2) = rs(0).Value
Row = Row + 1
rs.MoveNext
Wend
End Sub
Now I need to execute a stored procedure to return a semi-colon delimited string.
I have tried the following:
Public Sub obj_class()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim strSQL, cn As String
Dim adoCMD As ADODB.Command
Dim adoRS As ADODB.Recordset
Set wb = Excel.ActiveWorkbook
Set ih = wb.Sheets("InfoSheet")
cn.Open db_name, UserName, Password
Set adoCMD = New ADODB.Command
With adoCMD
.ActiveConnection = cn
.CommandText = "S#mdb$stg_da_extr_util.get_all_classes_of_classif"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Refresh
'------ and here comes the error saying:
'------ could not find the object in the collection corresponding to the name or ordinal reference requested by the application
.Parameters("i_caller").Value = "'STG_DATA_REQUEST'"
.Parameters("i_obj_classif_id").Value = 120
Set adoRS = .Execute()
End With
End Sub
I did asked on the forum:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=1241667#post1241667
but unfortunately without success.
Could it be, that my ODBC-connection is wrong? When debugging the connection string, I find the Provider=MSDASQL5.1.
I have moderate knowledge in VBA, but absolutely a newbie with Oracle DB. Is there any source of information that can help solving this issue? Looking forward to hearing from you, as I am almost giving up... ;(

My VBA is super rusty. Does that error come after Parameters.Refresh, or after .Parameters("i_caller").Value = "'STG_DATA_REQUEST'"?
If it's the second one, you'll need the definition of the stored procedure so you can see what parameters it's expecting. That'd mean you're getting something wrong with the names.

EPMA Ads File generation using excel

Hi,
We had a classic planning application at our client and now we have decided to move on to EPMA. I have used EPMA file generator to extract ads file from Planning application & uploaded it to the shared library successfully. Now I want to add a UDA to the accounts dimension members. HOwever I want to export this file in to spreadsheet so that I can update the UDA and reload it back to the planning application.
However the moment i open in excel & make changes the formatting messes up and loads of unnecessary commas emerge.
Has anyone tried a better way of doing it?
Cheers,
XXX

Hi,
There are two methods to do this task:-
Excel -
1. Copy all the contents of the ADS file to the Excel sheet
2. Use text to columns feature and split the properties based on the pipe separator (|)
3. Add the lines you want to
4. Concatenate them with the pipe separator and paste it in ADS
Notepad ++ (I agree with Todd Johnson)
1. Open the file in Notepad++
2. make add the lines without making mistakes (it has a lot of rich features that improve accuracy)
3. save it and use it.
Thanks.

Adobe pdfmaker 6.0 is missing in Outlook 2003

Hi,
I have users running XP Pro with Office Small Business 2003 with SBS 2003 server. I have some users at this point that doesn't have pdfmaker toolbar in their Outlook 2003 but appear in Word 2003. We have Adobe Standard 6.0. As per the user, they had it but now the pdfmaker is missing from outlook 2003. However in the mean time they can print to Adobe PDF from "File" menu on top left and select "Print" then selecting "Adobe PDF" to email file to
pdf. How can I enable or get the pdfmaker back on Outlook 2003. Word and Excel have pdfmaker toolbar appear.
I did the following steps:
I checked the disabled item and nothing was listed. then I checked in "Add-In Manager" and "COM Add-Ins" and didn't see pdfmaker or something like that. I even tried to add "PDFMOultook.dll" in "COM Add-Ins" from Adobe folder and that didn't get added. Then I removed "OutlVisible" key or changed the data value to 0 and rebooted the PC. But that didn't do anything, so I restore the registry that I backed up. I even reinstalled Adobe Standard 6 and the whole office in the beginning. Hope someone has another solution for this.
Thanks,
Ankur

How-to use Excel for the XML file input?

Hello all,
Following our discussion with Gerhard Steinhuber on the very nice tutorial from Horst Schaude , "How to upload mass data via XML File Input" , I am starting this new discussion.
In the comments section of this previous cited tutorial, Rufat Gadirov explains how to use a generated XML from Eclipse instead of your XSD file as your source in Excel.
However, in spite of all the instructions, I am still facing the same issue in Excel when I try to save my file as XML : "The XML maps in this workbook are not exportable".
What I try to do is to create one or more Sales Orders with multiple Items in it from a XML File Input, using excel to enter data.
The part with the File input is working (if I directly upload my file to the webDAV, it creates a sales order instance with multiple items).
The only missing part is the Excel data input that I cannot make work. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my XML file that I try to use as a source in Excel before inputing data from Excel:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello Jacques-Antoine,
I suppose that as you have tried to construct a map from the schema, you have taken the elements from the List level down. In this case I also can't export the map.
But if you take the elements from the level MySalesOrderUploaded down, you'll get the exportable map (screenshots)

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.

Can not open Excel 2003 embedded worksheet in Office 2010

I have seen many similar issues to this but I think I have some unique factors that are making my issue a bit tougher to resolve. I have a user who has a word doc which he opens in Word 2010. This doc has several embedded excel sheets. When he tries to click
one of these embedded excel sheets to edit he gets an error: "the program used to create this object is excel the program is not installed on your computer". It will give an option to repair which we have tried but it makes no difference.
Some things to note that I think makes this case more unique than others I have googled.
This seems to be the case only with embedded excel 2003 spreedsheets. He can open newer excel 2010 spreedsheets that more more recently added to the file.
He previously had Office 2013 which we had to uninstall, and put Office 2010 on. This was done because of a piece of software this company uses that was not compatible with office 2013. (Personally I think this may be where the problem is as there seem to
be remnants of Office 15 in the registry.)
I have tried the standard fixes of Disabling the Com add-ins, running office repair, and trying to Convert the embedded spreedsheet to an Excel Binary. The convert failed and gave me a generic error about possibly not being allowed to save to the location
or needing more memory or space but none of these are the case.
I have not yet tried to uninstall office 2010 and reinstall and I am hoping that I won't have to. This issue just seems odd to me. Other users can edit these embedded spreedsheets fine which is why I think it has something to do with the fact that he downgraded
from 2013 to 2010.
Anyone of thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
I noticed that use newer excel 2010
spreadsheets that more more recently added to the file. Did you try to embed the Excel 2010 file to Word 2010 test? If it works fine, I suppose that it was a compatibility issue.
Because Excel 2010 had change the file format with Excel 2003.
I recommend you try to install Office 2010 sp2 and compatibility pack.

Start OutlookSoft 4.2 with Excel 2003 when Excel 2007 is also installed.

Does anyone know how to get OutlookSoft 4.2 to use Excel 2003 as the default u2013 when both Excel 2003 and 2007 are installed? Iu2019ll take any suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks, Joost and Sorin, for your responses! We will be considering both of them.
My name is Christine, and I work with Ellie (who originated the question).
Sorin, where do you insert the launch command described in your response?
Neither Ellie nor I are computer programmers. We have learned on the job as we go. So it's not obvious to us what to do with your command/path. I have changed the "Open With" property for Web Excel to use the exe file for Excel 2003, but the result is that Excel 2007 opens in compatibility mode, and not as Excel 2003.

Report Manager - Template Conversion Problems Excel 2003/2007

Hello,
We are having an issue in which templates created using excel 2003 are showing incorrectly formatted outputs in excel 2007. We have performed testing by creating new templates in Excel 2007 and most formatting is correct as long as we only make minimal changes to the initial template. Once the template is changed to a further extent the formatting is correct but no actual output shows, just the token defaults. Patches have been applied for both the issue of incorrect formatting caused by Excel's smartcutandpaste and also the problem with the token defaults showing instead of actual Oracle data. We would prefer not to have to recreate the templates as this would be a lengthy process. To me it seems as something was modified that affected the existing templates (other than the Generic FSG Template, which works fine), but does not affect newly created templates. Other methods of viewing the data work fine (pdf and html).
Any ideas?

The client is testing now and believes the report output is what she needs and will not need to delete the columns afterall, but for my curiosty, any ideas?

Printing problem Adobe Pro X from Excel 2003

I produce a number of reports each month using Excel 2003 and printing/converting them to PDF documents. All were nicely formatted and printed perfectly and reliably using Adobe 5.0 (ancient I know). I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro X. Now what once printed nicley only prints part of a page - about the right 1/3 is not showing. Even when selecting "fit to 1 page wide and 1 page tall" in excel page setup doesn't fix the problem. Changing the BINDING setting in Adobe doesn't fix the problem either. Previously I selected Adobe Writer from my printer listing which I understand has been discontinued. Now my only option is Adobe PDF. Any suggestions?

Interesting. My approach would
1. Try on a different system if available. If still bad...
2. Try to create a simple test application with CreateDC and StartDoc, and really nothing else not absolutely needed.

If your little example is still bad, post it here and other people can try and compare your results.
