PDFMaker from Excel converts Helvetica to Arial against my will

Hi all -
I'm on Windows XP, running Excel 2007 and Acrobat/Distiller/PDFMaker 9 (all updates current).
I have several Excel files that are formatted with Helvetica for the font. I have an Adobe PDF Setting called "Excel to PDF" which is set to Acrobat 5 compatibility, no image downsampling, Embed all Fonts, Subset less than 100%, many "font location" folders available that include the Helvetica family, color set to North America Prepress 2, etc.
I have the Acrobat PDFMaker ribbon available in Excel. Preferences set to use the "Excel to PDF" setting. When I click the Create PDF button, I get a PDF with no error messages but the resulting PDF has converted all of my Helvetica text to ArialMT. If I use the TouchUp tool in Acrobat to select some text, it shows "Original Font" = ArialMT and "Editing Font" = ArialMT.
I don't want ArialMT. I want my Helvetica!!
Interestingly, if I choose Print to Adobe PDF Converter, using same "Excel to PDF" settings file, then my Helvetica fonts stay. When I use the TouchUp tool in Acrobat, "Original Font" is now Helvetica. BUT... Helvetica is "not available" for editing and the "Editing Font" stays ArialMT.
I don't care if I can't edit the resulting PDF. But why would Distiller embed Helvetica correctly and PDFMaker would not?
This is driving me crazy! Any ideas?
Thanks!!
-Jessie

As I mentioned in my post, both PDFMaker and the Print to PDF options are using the same Job Options file I created called "Excel to PDF." This is set to Embed all Fonts, with subsetting below 100%.
There are onscreen display differences between the Helvetica version of the file and the Arial version, which is why I want the Helvetica version to stick.
Also, while it's not overly cumbersome to Print to PDF versus using the PDFMaker ribbon button - the ribbon button is faster and so I'd like to use that long-term if possible.

Extracting data from Excel To Illustrator javascript or vbscript

Hi all-
I was wondering if there was a way to extract data from Excel to be used in Illustrator. I know there is an option of variables and xml, and I don't want that. I've seen and tried out how to read illustrator and write to excel, and I get that. What I would like to do is pretty much the opposite:
1.Pre-fill in an Excel file(.xls,.csv, doesn't matter) with data such as a filename in column 1 and (Replacement Text) in column 2 and close manually.
2. Run script(VBSCRIPT,Javascript, doesn't matter)
3.For each column in Excel file where cell in first column is not empty, open Illustrator Template with placeholder of "DWG" textframe and replace the frame titled "DWG" with Replacement text from Excel in Column2.
4, Save each to a PDF file and name file with text from Excel Column1(Filename)
In a nutshell, there will be a single illustrator template with a premade textFrame with a name of "DWG". Excel will contain two columns, one for the filename to be named and one for the relative text to replace with the placeholder in AI. I hoped I explained this well enough without causing too much confusion. Thanks in advance.
Filename
Replacement Text
test1.pdf
DWG01
test2.pdf
DWG02
test3.pdf
DWG03
test4.pdf
DWG04

As text… \n is new line character and \r is return character. I can't remember which excel uses but they both equate to a line/paragraph… I very quickly threw together an example for you…
#target Illustrator
textToPDF();
function textToPDF() {
 if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) { return; }
 var doc, csvFile, i, fileArray, opts;
 csvFile = File( '~/Desktop/ScriptTest/Test.csv' );
 if ( !csvFile.exists ) { return; }
 fileArray = readInCSV( csvFile );
 doc = app.activeDocument;
 opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
 opts.pDFPreset = '[Press Quality]';
 // Here we loop the main array
 for ( i = 0; i < fileArray.length; i++ ) {
 // Here we get the second item of sub array i
 doc.textFrames.getByName( 'DWG' ).contents = fileArray[i].[1];
 // Here we get the first item of sub array i
 doc.saveAs( File( fileArray[i].[0] ), opts );
function readInCSV( fileObj ) {
 var fileArray, thisLine, csvArray;
 fileArray =[];
 fileObj.open( 'r' );
 while( !fileObj.eof ) {
 thisLine = fileObj.readln();
 csvArray = thisLine.split( ',' );
 fileArray.push( csvArray );
 fileObj.close();
 return fileArray;
I haven't tested it but it should be close…?

Converting from excel 2004 to ical with Snow Leopard

tried to import data via iCalMaker but was informed by the software maker that they don t support Snow Leopard. So ... a bit lost.
I have the custom of preparing data in Excel, and would want to import some data into iCal. However I cannot find a good converter from either tab (preferred) or csv to ics. Similarly have no experience with applescripts and other fancy things. Is there somewhere an easy system to convert?

Ali,
Appears the iCal and Excel "wizards" forgot to supply us with a simple and much need way to import excel events, dates, birthdays, games etc. from excel to iCal..
...even the "wizards" at Ms Office 2011 do not allow an easy import from MS Office 2011 Excel to MS Office 2011 Outlook/Calendar...
...Yikes

Distorted Files when converting from Excel to PDF

Hello,
I work in IT and I have an annoying issue that when someone using Excel 2007 clicks on the acrobat tab to create a PDF from excel. The finished PDF file is distorted, and will not show the files as they should be. Part of the graph will be missing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Pro X, the only thing that happened was that when creating a new user, the new user is able to create a perfect excel to PDF file with no issue, but the original user with the issue still has the same problem. Is there a setting that will fix this?

Hi,
Please share your file if possible so that I can look into the problem. Please use below link:

DSUM equivalent required for 3 condition eq' (just converted from Excel)

Hi, I have just imported a basic accounting spreadsheet from Excel and wish to see if iWork 08 Numbers is up to the task! My issue is that my DSUM calcs for creating the basis for VAT returns is not recognised in Numbers - Can anyone assist with an alternative?
Column A Column B Column C
{date range} {expense category range} {expense amount}
In Excel I used to be able to extract the expenses for a given category between 2 dates using something like this in function DSUM (date range >= Col A, expense category exists in Col B, date <= Col A, resultant expense amount from Col C)
I have tried constructing SUMPRODUCT equations instead to no avail.
In summary I need to return the sum of the expenses in Col C that meet 3 conditions within date range conditions 1 & 2 and meeting expense category condition 3.
Any advice greatly appreciated - I can revert back to Excel, but would prefer the much more economical deployment of numbers, it's basic but provided I can overcome this hurdle, adequate for my needs.
Thanks for reading,
Ross

Ross,
Excel seems to have a function to fit every concievalbe situation but this is certainly not true of Numbers. Your problem can be handled, but it's certainly not as slick as DSUM in Excel.
First of all, an auxiliary column may be added to your table which identifies those rows which meet the three conditions you list (plus eliminates blank situations). Actually, since this is an auxiliary column which may be hidden, I should think that you could eliminate the first part of the the formula where blanks are weeded out if you're willing to live with red and blue triangles.
"In Range":
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(Date),ISBLANK(Table 2::A$2),ISBLANK(Table 2::B$2)),"",IF(AND(Date>=Table 2::A$2,Date<=Table 2::B$2,Category<>""),"yes",""))
Then in the "Range Sum" column of the the second table,
=SUMIF(Table 1 :: In Range,“yes”,Table 1 :: D)
Note that this sum also includes a zero for Oct 8 where no amount was entered, If this is an error that must noted, Table 1 will have to be modified to flag the error.

Matching Primary key from Excel to DB Column before import

Hello Experts,
I am trying to achieve the task related with updates into my destination table via store procedure using dynamic sql. Basically I am importing the
excel file into sql server.
For further step, I want to update only the records that do not exist already in the table with reference to primary key. For this the user will provide
as an input for procedure the column (or columns) that compose the primary key in excel.
Example of EXEC command to run the store Procedure
EXEC
[ImportExcelFile_Error_Handling]
'D:\test\test.xlsx','sheet1','testDB',
'create','[Test Column1]’
So in this case the [Test Column1] from excel contains now my Primary Key and if I execute my procedure then code should check the values of the
[Test Column1] in the existing table in database, against the
[Test Column1]
in database.
If [Test Column1]
value match with db
[Test Column1]
then skip rows and if not match then insert row entry.
Below is my code, which needs to be update.
if
@TypeOfUpdate='Update'
Begin
declare
@PrimaryLeyColumn NVARCHAR(max)
set
@PrimaryLeyColumn=''
exec('Insert into ['
+ @DestinationTable
+ '] select * from openrowset(''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'', ''Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;Database='
+ @TABLENAME

end
thanks in advance.

How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

Upload data from excel to crm using BDOC possible or not

Hi all,
I need to upload data from excel to crm(opportunity management) .is it possible using bdoc or not. Please provide the list of methods to upload data from EXCEL and also provide the best method for this scenario .

BDocs are used to transfer data from one SAP system to another like from CRM to ECC or R3.
If u want to upload data from excel to CRM, this can be done with the help of idocs and not bdocs (method 1 - using LSMW).
Take help of a crm technical consultant and define lsmw projects. The project will take care of field mapping and conversion. Once that is done, 4 steps need to be done.
1. Read data
2. Convert data
3. Generate idocs
4. Post idocs
Once the posting of idocs happen error-free, the data will be available in crm system.
Another method will be using transaction SECATT.
Here u can define test scripts and record what all activities are done in a transaction. Then define ur test configs which will contain the excel sheet data and then upload the data.
Reward with points if this helps.

Upload data from excel where one column has text of 3000 characters

Guyz,
I have a query. One of my requirments is to upload data from excel sheet & create a material. In the excel sheet one of the columns has text for BASIC DATA TEXT under ADDITIONAL DATA of a Material. This is a text of running length.
the selection screen has feature of file upload & the users will upload excel files from their respective presentation servers.
Now my problem is that I need a function module which can convert this column in excel sheet into an internal table & later call the BAPI for MM creation.
I have used TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP & when i read my internal table to check this column length, it shows only 255 characters where as data in the excel sheet has 3000 characters (say for eg.)
Can anybody throw some light on this.
Thanks in advance
GPK

Hi,
You can try using this function module and see that whether all your data is coming into the internal table properly.
MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT
For the other part you needed to convert the internal table data into the structure as need by the BAPI and then call the create BAPI to create the materials in the SAP System.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

How to create a data load file from Excel !!!

Hi All,
I'm new to HFM and would like to load data into an HFM application. As I have an Excel file with all the data. When I'm directly loading the data it throws an error saying "No section has been specified to determine if this is data, description or line item detail". How can I convert this excel file into proper format (.dat) file understandable by HFM ?

There are several ways to get this data into HFM.
1) FDM - best option if you have it
2) Webforms/Data Grids
3) HsSetValue formulas in Excel
4) DAT file loads
5) JVs, etc
If you wish to use DAT files created via Excel, you will likely want to use Excel VBA macros to create your DAT file to load. We do this on occasion for special projects and it works quite well. What you can do is set up an Excel file with your data inputs to look however you want, then link your POV members and amounts to another tab (we commonly call this the Export tab and it is set up in an HFM-friendly format).
Create a macro to write a DAT file to a specified location using data from the Export tab. The DAT file will need to be formatted as below. For a specific sample, you can extract data from your HFM app and see the format.
!Data
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4;Amount
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4;Amount
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4;Amount
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4;Amount
Scenario;Year;Period;View;Entity;Value;Account;ICP;Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4;Amount
Brush up on Replace, Merge, or Accumulate load options in the HFM Admin and User Guides, then upload your new DAT file.

Hi
If you can convert the excel to a csv format, then it can be simply query from DB Creating Oracle External Tables. Best part is that you may still change the CSV using EXCEL.
Following action Points can be adopt;
*1. Convert Excel File to a csv. File Save as CSV*
*2. Create Oracle Directory* ( This has to be the location of your excel file )
SQL> Create directory mydir as 'C:\testdb'; --- "testdb" is the location folder in win for your excel sheet.
*3. Create the External Table*
SQL> create table my_ext_tab (
Field1 Datatype,

Getting short dumps while reading bulky data from excel sheet

Hi all,
We have converted our non-unicode based sap system (R/3 4.7, Windows 2003,
SQL 2000) into a unicode based system recently. We are facing two peculiar
problems for last few days.
*Problem 1 - *Whenever we want to upload the data from excel sheet, the
system throws a dump after reading about 400 entries, while last week the
same system used to read about 8000 entries in a single go.
*Problem 2 - *Also, whenever we realease a transport requst from development
containing a lot of changes, the request will reach the quality system but
without the changes. but if i ll try to import the changes into quality
system after generating more than one request containing small small
changes, they get reflected in QAS immediately. Is there any size
constraint in transporting a request fro DEV->QAS->PRD.
Please suggest some ways.
I am pasting the dump (that I am getting while data uploading from Excel).

Runtime errors
MESSAGE_TYPE_X*
Occurred on
22.02.2008 at
13:21:02*
The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
What happened?
The current application program detected a situation which really
should not occur. Therefore, a termination with a short dump was
triggered on purpose by the key word MESSAGE (type X).
What can you do?
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
date.
Error analysis
Short text of error message:
Control Framework : Error processing control
Technical information about the message:
Diagnosis
An error occurred when the system tried to process the commands
from the Automation Queue on the presentation server.
There are several possible reasons for this:
- The installation of the SAP GUI on the presentation server is
faulty or obsolete.
- There is an error in the application program
- There is an error in the SAPGUI or an integrated control
Procedure
1. Make sure that you have imported the appropriate Support
Package, the current kernel, and GUI patch for the release of your
System
2. Check whether the error occurs locally on one or a few PCs, or
generally on all PCs. Note whether the error only occurs for some
users, for example because of a specific Customizing setting.
If it only occurs locally, this suggests an installation problem
with the PC. Check the installation; if necessary, reinstall the
software. In the dump, search for the SY-MSGLI field, since it may
point to the cause of the error.
3. Activate the Automation Trace (in accordance with SAP Note
158985).
4.Start the transaction and continue until the screen immediately
before the dump.
5. From the System -> Utilities menu, choose Autom. Queue,
Synchronous Processing.
The status bar of the GUI displays the text:
"Automation synchron flush mode on"
6. If you now proceed with the application, the short dump will
display the ABAP call that caused the error; the Automation Trace
will contain the error on the presentation server.
7. If necessary, load the short dump and trace files on to
sapservX, so that SAP can analyze them.

How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
use the following search criteria:
"MESSAGE_TYPE_X" C
"SAPLOLEA" or "LOLEAU02"
"AC_SYSTEM_FLUSH"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please send the
following documents to SAP:
1. A hard copy print describing the problem.
To obtain this, select the "Print" function on the current screen.
2. A suitable hardcopy prinout of the system log.
To obtain this, call the system log with Transaction SM21
and select the "Print" function to print out the relevant
part.
3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
supply the source code.
To do this, you can either use the "PRINT" command in the editor or
print the programs using the report RSINCL00.
4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
or which actions and input led to the error.

for the 50 millionth time: Excel spreadsheets are NOT databases, you should NOT try to use them as such and NEVER access them using JDBC.
You should also under NO condition use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver (that was actually the 78 millionth time that was told someone).

How to import data into a Z table from excel file?

hi,
i have a custom created Z table into which i want to import some data from an excel file. which function can i use to do so because SE16 allows me to insert data only one by one via a data entry screen. this is time consuming. i want to import data from excel file so that its faster.

HI,
this program uploads data from excel and modifies ztable,(inserts records into ztable), check this and modify according to ur requirement)
This program uploads material number from excel sheet and does
******modifications to material number if required by the user
******and updates the table zmatnr with new material against the old material number
