Scanned tables to word or excel

Hi,
I tried to convert a pdf file that contains scanned tables (3 columns: title and two years financial entry). The outcome is not useful as I can not select the number from a particular column: either the whole table is selected or the title and the numbers from 2 columns are selected which are not useful in excel.
How can I improve the conversion of multi column tables (from a scanned pdf) into word or excel?
Thanks!

Good day Cengiz,
Unfortunately our forums don't allow for file attachments anymore. If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to fill out the File Conversion Issues Form with a description of the problem as well as a link to this thread and we'll try to give you some more detail.

Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

Hello,
I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Craig

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,
slobbering_dog
This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

Embedded Excel table in Word 2013

I just purchased a new laptop with Window 8 and Office 2013. Previous Word files with embedded Excel tables will open once then refuse to open a second time. I get an error message, "the program used to create this object is Excel. That program
us either not installed or your computer..." Both Excel and Word work fine on their own. One thread suggested turning off Add-Ins but I'm not sure how to do that... And it did not seem to work for the other person... HELP!

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, I recommend we do some tests to narrow down the issue.
Create a new Word 2013 file and a Excel 2013 file, and insert the Excel file as object in Word to test.
If it works fine, we need to repair the previous Word files.
If it does not work fine, please try to start Word 2013 in
safe mode (Press Win+R > enter Winword.exe /safe). If it works fine, we'd better check the add-ins both of the Word and Excel:
In Excel/Word go to file>options>add-ins. Then down the bottom select COM Add-ins from the drop down menu and hit go. Uncheck everything hit ok. Close the options menu close Excel.
After, we also could update all the latest Office 2013 and Windows 8 patches to test.

Hi,
Does it print from anywhere else?
And as a test go to www.hp.com/go/tools and download the "print diagnostic utility" and run it.

I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro. I logged in. I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial. I just get the request to sign up for a year. What good is the trial if I can't try it?

Hey vcomfort6,
Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
Hope to hear from you.

I can no longer open word or excel files from my email in firefox, i can in all other browsers. it started november 5, 2014

Yesterday afternoon, out of the blue, I can no longer open word or excel documents from my gmail account in firefox browser on windows 7. I can in all other browsers. The error message is "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

As a workaround, does it work to save the files first and then open them after saving?
Sometimes when Firefox has problems handing off a download to another program it is caused by a corrupted settings file. That file is hard to edit, so usually we suggest renaming the file to see whether that resolves the issue. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and test your Gmail attachments. Any improvement?
Note: This resets some preferences to their defaults, such as which PDF viewer Firefox uses. If you need to update that again, please see this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

New Laserjet Pro M476NW Will Not Print MS Word or Excel Files

I just bought a brand new Color Laserjet Pro MFP M476nw printer. I am usint MS Vista 32 bit and MS Office 2007.
The Printer prints images, emails and I can make copies, etc, but I cannot print Word files, Word Envelopes, Excel files, etc.
Until my old HP Laserjet 4P finally died the other day (internal electrical short) I could print everything. Have spent 8-hours or so trying everything I have read from Microsoft, HP, etc, with no success. Installed, Uninstalled, reinstalled, ran diasgnostics, still no success.
I cannot contact anyone at HP for less than $99 to talk to a person. Very frustrating.
As I said, Word and Excel files printed just fine until I bought the new M476nw printer. How can this be Fixed?
This question was solved.

Storing MS Word, MS Excel, PDF, etc in DB and retrieving through WebForms

Hi,
We have an application that requires storing MS Word, MS Excel,
PDF and HTML docs. We're planning on storing these documents in
a table as BLOB's with a column in the table that would indicate
the MIME type for the document. We need to be able to retrieve
these documents using the WebForms application we created. The
user would prefer to view a Word document in MS Word, an Excel
document in MS Excel, and so on. As of now there is no
requirement for searching within these documents, all we have to
do is retrieve them from the db and display them to the client.
Keep in mind this is a web based app, developed with Forms6i, we
would like to give the user the ability to press a button and
have the document displayed in the appropriate program.
I've searched for examples for this type of situation and have
been unsuccessful. But after reading about Oracle Text it
sounds like this could be what I'm looking for, minus the search
capability that is. Am I looking in the right place? Is it
possible to accomplish the requirements described above using
Oracle Text? If not where should I be looking.
Any help, info or even better sample code on this would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Butler

Jeff,
I'm not familiar with WebForms so I will only comment about
Oracle Text.
You can use Oracle Text to store, index, and search documents in
different types of formats (HTML, XML, MS Office, PDF, etc.).
Oracle Text also provides document services like a markup version
of a document, highlighting, themes, and other linguistic
features.
Take a look at the OTN page for some sample code

I have to paste/special/text when copying from Firefox and pasting in Word or Excel

When copying data from a table on IE, I just have to paste (ctrl-v), and the data is pasted into appropriate separate cells.
In Firefox, I have to "paste special" and click "text" to separate the fields. Otherwise, all the data is pasted into a single cell or in the case of Word, one paragraph.
Is there a setting that can be designated to allow paste as in IE or as within Word or Excel?

The [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1852/ Dafizilla Table2Clipboard] extension should help with this.

Have lost Word and Excel save, save as, quit functions since downloading OS update

downloaded the most recent OS update today (2-2-12) and now I can't save any MS Word or Excel files. I also lose the ability to close these programs when I try to save, requiring a force quit of the program. Help!

Latest Security Update is causing headache for PPC programs in 10.6 Rosetta
Restore
Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
If you have TimeMachine, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6 from the disk.
Note: This 10.6 reinstall does not touch your files and most programs (provided you don't erase), but backup your files regardless.
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
If you get gray screen, hold the shift key while booting (Safe mode) and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
Note: If any of this is beyond your ability, no problem, I'm no brain surgeon neither, call in a professional before you lose your data.

How to import Word or Excel files in Project 2013.

I am facing a problem in Microsoft Project 2013. I am trying to insert a word or an excel file into Project 2013. But for each file,
an import wizard appears and after trying all the possibilities, I am unable to finish it. Please help me out and tell me how to import Word or Excel file in Project 2013.

Parulg --
From your description, it sounds like you are trying to attach a Word or Excel document to a project, or to insert the Word or Excel document into the project. If that is the case, you actually need to attach the Word or Excel document to a task in
the project. There are several ways to do this, but in either case you first need to open the project to which you want to attach the Word or Excel document. You can then use one of several methods, which are:
Click the View tab to display the View ribbon. In the Data section of the View ribbon, click the Tables pick list button and select the More Tables option. In the More Tables dialog, select the Hyperlink table and then click the Apply button.
For any task in the project, enter the hyperlink to the Word or Excel document in the Hyperlink column for that task.
Double-click a task and then click the Notes tab. On the Notes page of the Task Information dialog, click the Insert Object button. In the Insert Object dialog, select the Create from File option and then use the Browse button to navigate to
the folder containing the Word or Excel document. In the Browse dialog, select the Word or Excel document and click the Insert button. In the Insert Object dialog, select the Display As Icon checkbox. You can also select the Link checkbox if you
want to create a shortcut to the document rather than embedding the document in your Project file. Click the OK button when finished.
Just a couple of ideas based on my assumption about what you are trying to do. Please let us know if my assumption is wrong. Hope this helps.

Insert value from an interanal table to a table in word

dear all
can anyone tell me how to insert the data from an internal table to the table created in word, i can insert data to the table of word by hard coding it,but finally the data has to come from an internal table, im using OLE concept so code related to that will be highly appreciated. the functionality is the same as ALV gives to excel download,but just in my case it has to be in word,
please help me i m in real need

Hi
If they have the same structure u can use a do cycle:
LOOP AT ITAB_NORMAL.
   DO.
     ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE ITAB_NORMAL TO <VALUE_FROM>.
     IF SY-SUBRC NE 0. EXIT. ENDIF.
     ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE <DYN_WA> TO <VALUE_TO>.
    <VALUE_TO> = <VALUE_FROM>.
   ENDDO.
   APPEND <DYN_WA> TO <DYN_TABLE>.
ENDLOOP.
If the dynamic table has only certain fields of ITAB_NORMAL, I suppose u have an internal table with the fields of dynamic table (u should use it to generate the dynamic table) so u can loop it instead of DO/ENDO cycle
LOOP AT ITAB_NORMAL.
   LOOP AT ITAB_FIELD.
     ASSIGN COMPONENT ITAB_FIELD-FIELDNAME OF STRUCTURE ITAB_NORMAL TO <VALUE_FROM>.
     ASSIGN COMPONENT ITAB_FIELD-FIELDNAME OF STRUCTURE <DYN_WA> TO <VALUE_TO>.
    <VALUE_TO> = <VALUE_FROM>.
   ENDLOOP.
   APPEND <DYN_WA> TO <DYN_TABLE>.
ENDLOOP.
Anyway u can find out many solutions in SCN, there are many posts with your problem
