Problem export pdf table to excel spreadsheed

Hi, my name is Marco.
Last month a customer has bought a copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional 9 in my computer shop for edit some pdfs files.
After some days he told me that he need to export a table to excel's spreadsheet but the function "open table in excel spreadsheet" work ONLY for the page where i right-click. How can i copy all the document in excel (without lose the format)?
Sorry for the bad english, if you don't understand i try to rewrite it better or in Italian!
Thank you!

A lot depends on the structure of the PDF. I it has tags included that provide the format information, then the conversion may be easy. If the tags are not included, then retaining the format is almost impossible. This may even be a problem with recognizing columns. In that case, selecting columns with the ctrl key held during the selection. More information is available under "Copying Text" in the help menu (complete help). The help also talks about the ability to retain format as I have suggested.
To select items on multiple pages, you have to use continuous view.
It might be easier to the Save As to DOC and go from there. The backward conversion is not the forte or intent of Acrobat. In reality, one should never delete the original XLS (or other) file with the intent of going back in the future. Sounds like it is too late for your customer.

  • Is it possible to create a workflow that exports PDF tables to Excel?

    Afternoon all,
    I've seen that it's possible to export tabulated information within a PDF document to Excel (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-excel-xlsx-converter.html) but this is a very manual process.
    I'm wondering if it's possible to create an automated set of steps that I can point to a directory of PDF files, which'll run through the files and export thier contents to Excel.  PhotoShop has something similar in its image resizing actions.  This'll save me a lot of manual time going forward, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    This is possible with an action in Acrobat Pro.

  • How to export a table in excel (in JSP)???

    hi all,
    I am using AJAX functionality in jsp to export a table into Excel.But i don't want to use it as it gives a hyperlink whereas i want a button which should work similar to hypelink.
    I mean to say i want a saperate export button which should work similar to the hyperlink.
    if anybody has any idea abt it....plz reply it soon.......

    So what you want to do is redirect to a page when the user clicks the button?
    So just put the button in a form with the action attribute set to wherever the hyperlink points now.
    And in case the button is already a part of a form, then on the onClick() event of the button, change the action attribute of the form to this particular hyperlink target and then cause it to submit.
    That ok?
    Or do you want the Excel file you're generating to be sent to the browser causing it to popup a dialog asking the user to save or open? If so take a look here http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5170452&messageID=9655276

  • Exporting PDF document to Excel.  When I export a PDF document to Excel containing lists of  people the Excel page shows all the names on  one line several inches deep instead of on separate lines which makes editing impossible.  What am I doing wrong?

    Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
    Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

    Hi,
    According to your post, a problem occurred when you exported the HTML table to Excel(.CSV).

  • Export UI5 table to Excel

    Hello Experts,
    I have created a table in UI5 based on Odata Model.
    Now I want to download this table to Excel.
    I checked that this is possible through creating a xsjs file as mentioned here:
    Export to Excel in XS Project
    As seen in the thread, they have written query
    var query = 'SELECT TOP 25000 "PurchaseOrderId", "PartnerId","CompanyName", "CreatedByLoginName","History.CREATEDAT", "GrossAmount" '
    + 'FROM "sap.hana.democontent.epm.data::purchaseOrderHeaderExternal" order by "PurchaseOrderId"';
    Now my problem is that I am using input parameters in my UI to load table.
    So I want to know how to pass the input parameters to my xsjs file.
    And also is there any other way that I can use to export odata table directly to Excel?
    Regards,
    Rohit

    Hi Jacob,
    If you're on Java stack (which you are if you're using Apache POI anyway ), the most simple way is :
    1) Create a REST service which generates the Excel workbook:
        @GET
        @Path("/getexcelfile")
        public void getExcelFile(@Context HttpServletRequest request, @Context HttpServletResponse response) throws InternalServerErrorException {
            try {
                OutputStream out = null;
                try {
                    List yourData = <get your list of data>
                    String filename = "myexcel.xls";
                    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
                    WritableWorkbook writableWorkbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(response.getOutputStream());
                    WritableSheet writableSheet = writableWorkbook.createSheet("My Excel Worksheet", 0);
                    createExcelHeaderRow(writableSheet);
                    createExcelSheetContent(yourData, writableSheet);
                    writableWorkbook.write();
                    writableWorkbook.close();
                } catch (Exception exception) {
                } finally {
                    if (out != null) out.close();
            } catch (Exception exception) {
    2) in your UI5 app, simply use a link to download your Excel file:
        var oDownloadExcelButton = new sap.ui.commons.Link( {
            text : "Download Excel File",
            href : "/<your_EAR_context>/<your_REST_context>/getexcelfile"

  • Problem Creating PDF Files from Excel 2007

    I am running WinXP SP2, Office 2007, and Acrobat v8.1.2. I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. When I was using Excel 2003 I could create a PDF file using five of the six worksheets. Since upgrading to Office 2007 I am unable to create PDF files from Excel. I can create PDF files from Word 2007. When I attempt to use the Acrobat Plug-in to create a PDF I get a message saying the file needs to be saved first. It then attempts to save the file to a strange, somewhat random, file name (e.g. A234G53). When I say OK Excel just hangs and is unresponsive. The way that I can clear it is to stop Excel using Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling Acrobat without successfully solving the problem. Any ideas on how I can diagnose and/or solve the problem?
    Thanks.

    Is your Excel file on a location outside your machine's disk? If so, try copying to local disk.
    Does the Excel file have any protection applied to it? If so, try removing the protection
    If these don't work, can you post a sample file that demonstrates the problem.

  • Export internal table to excel...

    Hello everyone!
    I have an ALV with one column like this:
    netwr LIKE vbrp-netwr
    In the ALV Catalog, i allready tried this options:
      CLEAR fieldcat_linha.
      fieldcat_linha-fieldname = 'NETWR'.
    *  fieldcat_linha-ref_tabname = 'VBRP'.
    *  fieldcat_linha-ref_fieldname = 'NETWR'.
      fieldcat_linha-reptext_ddic = text-126.
      fieldcat_linha-decimals_out = '2'.
      APPEND fieldcat_linha TO fieldcat_tab.
    The problem is, when i export this to an excel file, i get 2 decimals only in values like this: '1.000,00'
    If the value is '200,00' the export returns only '200' in the excel file. Does anyone know how to round this problem?
    Thank you.

  • Problems exporting query results to Excel

    Hi Mari,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I can understand the resason for not being able to change the Posting Date. But what are the reasons for not being able to change the Document Date? What is the fiscal reason for not being able to change the Document Date? Please provide an example. Reversing the document doesn't work in this case as the SQ01 report would still include the incorrect date.

  • Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

    Hi all,
    We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap.  Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet.  When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color.  I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel.  Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!
