Help, slow VBA OLED connection string query...

Hi all,
Purpose: To determine if a city and state combination exists in an existing excel workbook.
Using: VBA with an OLED connection so I don't have to open the workbook.
Code:
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim srcData, cmd As String
Dim cityADO As Boolean
With cn
.Provider = "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & srcData _
& "Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;"""
.Open
End With
cmd = "SELECT COUNT (*) FROM [" & sSrc & "$A:B] WHERE [City]='" & cCty & _
"' AND [State]='" & cSt & "';"
Set rst = cn.Execute(cmd)
cityADO = CInt(rst.GetString)
I'm self teaching myself and this is part of a self imposed project. (It's basically checking addresses from a list in an excel sheet. Using Bing or google maps API would be cheating in this case) . So my issue is this method is slow and I was wondering if
there was a faster way meeting my objective or if there is something wrong in my code that could be causing a bottleneck.

Hi DaBirdGUY,
I made a simple demo with your code, and I did not see the obvious performance issue from the query. Based on my understanding, Excel is not a file format designed for high performance query, so it could be slow when the row count is large. A common way
to improve the performance is load the data to memory and query in memory.
In addition, if the row count is very large, I will recommend you use SQL Server to query rather than Excel spreadsheet.

Edward

BUG in OCR in Acrobat 9.3 on MRC (Mixed Raster Content) PDFs

I have lots of (non-searchable) PDFs, that were generated from scanned images (1 image per page @ 400 dpi) using LuraDocument from www.luratech.de.
The images are stored internally in the PDFs as MRC (Mixed Raster Content), that means, the PDF contains a foreground and a background layer for every image/page. These layers have a low resolution, are highly compressed and merged together by Acrobat (while displaying) using a high resolution mask layer. This results in very low file sizes, about 50 kB / page.
I'd like to make these PDFs searchable, but WITHOUT manipulating or changing the original image layers in any way. OCR software like FineReader or Omnipage seems to store images always with own algorithms, so that the image quality would suffer from the conversion and the size of the PDFs would rise significantly. Acrobat on the contrary offers to maintain the original image(layer)s by using the output style "Searchable Image (Exact)" in the OCR window. Now the problem:
After starting OCR, Acrobat applies OCR only at the first page (with good results) and deletes (!) all content (the image layers) on all other pages. For my eyes this seems to be a bug.
I tried a workaround: In Acrobat's Layers Panel I choose the menu option "Flatten Layers". Starting an OCR now, Acrobat does OCR on all pages of the PDF, but the OCR result is a disaster, less than 10% correct. Presumably Acrobat does not take the resulting (actually displayed) page content as input for its OCR, nor the high resolution mask layer, but instead one of the (low resolution, highly compressed) image layers described above.
Has anyone made similar experiences with MRC-compressed PDFs, e.g. PDFs generated by other MRC-Generators like JRAPublish ? Is there any workaround or bugfix ?
Thank You in advance !

I'm having the same issues. Using the latest version 9.3.3. Is this a bug? I tired calling adobe but their CR sounds like 3rd country only. Anyone can shed a light on this issue?

Connect to APEX database using VBA+ADO code in Microsoft Excel & Word?

I am looking at APEX as a potential replacement for a growing reporting/analysis system. As yet I have not found a clear answer on an important question.
The current system is a shared database and a collection of Microsoft Excel and Word templates. Each template contains underlying VBA code that establishes a direct connection to the database via OLE DB (i.e. ADODB objects in VBA via the OLE DB Provider for JET).
Each template’s underlying VBA code executes stored procedures or queries as required, the results of which are returned as Recordset objects and rendered to the Excel worksheet or Word document. Similarly, in some cases, data entered into an Excel worksheet by a user can be submitted back to the database at the click of a button, again via Recordset objects.
Now most of our templates could easily be ported to APEX. However, there is a strong preference that some of our templates continue to exist and maintain current functionality. So we have a requirement that Excel and Word can seamlessly and directly interact with an APEX database.
Long question short – is there a way to establish a connection and retrieve/insert data from an APEX database using OLE DB (ADODB) in VBA, as described above? I understand that APEX sits ‘on top’ of a real Oracle database, and I know Oracle provides an OLE DB Provider (OraOLEDB) for Oracle databases. Would OraOLEDB do the trick, or is it not as simple as that?
Many thanks for your insights on this,
Michal

Apex gets installed as a separate schema in an existing database.
So it will not in any way interfere with your existing setup. You can continue to connect directly to the database from your spreadsheets, call stored procedures from VBA/ADO, etc.

V8.1.2 breaks my PStoPDF vba code

I had a VBA excel macro that printed a number of individual pages to ps files (1 page per ps file) then created a master ps file ...
/prun { /mysave save def
dup = flush
RunFile
clear cleardictstack
mysave restore
} def
(C:/File1.ps) prun
(C:/File2.ps) prun
It then called distiller to convert this master ps file into a pdf file. It use to work perfectly until we upgraded to 8.1.2. Then I got bitten by the 'restricted folder access' issue ... now I get a log file that contains ...
%%[ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file produced. ] %%
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/downloads/Acrobat_SDK_readme.html says I can over come this by using the -F command line option or using the temp folder. I am starting distiller via vba, not using a command line (to the best of my knowledge).
Questions:
1) How can I start distiller using the -F option via VBA?
2) Can I add the -F option to a joboption file?
3) Which 'temp' file is the read me talking about (I tried it in the %temp% directory and it failed too)?
BTW: I'm running Vista.

BUMP.

Any option to invoke OCR tool from a keyboard only without mouse

As surprising as it may sound, I could not find any option to run from keyboard a command to start OCR (Optical character recognition) operation for the current document.
Many (actually the most) in operations commands Adobe Acrobat Professional XI can be run with a keyboard hotkey (shortcut) and/or via main menu accelerator keys, say, as a command "Create PDF from file" with a hotkey Ctrl+N or keyboard accelerators Alt+F -> R -> F.
So if you your mouse fails to work or you can not use a mouse due to some accessibility issues, you can however run the most commands using the keyboard only.
But I could not find any way to start OCR recogniizing operation using keyboard only, neverthless how long serie of key pressing you are ready to fulfill. Well, you can use accelerators Alt+V(iew) -> T(ools) -> T(ext Recognition) in order to open Tools sidebar at the left edge of the window - and than?.. Seems, that there is no option to get a focus to this vertical toolbar without mouse.
As I can not use my mouse just now, it is a real headache for me Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance!

@ CtDave
I'm afraid, that you have missed the most important part of my clarification. Your advice will not help, if somebody (not necessarily you, but rather the previous owner of the document) has already recognized it - but only in some part. Say, the command/hotkey Ctrl+A will not help, if the document has only 1 recognized page from 100 pages, what is a quite probable situation.
Ctrl+A will not help too, if the document is already recognized, but with wrong charset and/or output style and/or resolution - and you need to re-OCR it with correct settings.
I do not see, how your additional explanations of which OCR settings are correct, could help in such situation.
So Ctrl+A (Select all) command is a workaround for some very restricted situations.
To have a consistent OCR workflow simply set the PDF Output Style to Searchable Image (Exact).
Usually I prefer the option [Searchable Image]. Do you think, that [Exact] is generally better?
There is no user configuration/choice of 'charset' consequently this is not a viable concern.
Hm... Have you ever put attention to the dialog Recognize Text, including the very 1st line in the [Settings] field, that is [Primary OCR Language]. And the the button [Edit...] with the proper language settings as well (please look at my screenshot here: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/9172/k56.gif
As one can suggest, when you select the primary OCR language, it also involves the charset too, because, say, English, French and China languages charsets are quite different.

Automated start of Excel BEx Analyzer via Web VBScript

Hi all,
at first... all the versions:
SAPGUI 6.40 Patch Level 19, BW 3.5 Addon Patch 9, BI 7.0 with NetWeaver 2004s, Excel 2002 SP3.
I got the following working code to start Excel out of our Intranet, start the BEx Analyzer and connect to our BW:
<html>
<head>
<title>Excel Script</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
sub bwreport()
Dim app
Dim myConnection ' As Object
Dim logonToBW2 ' As Boolean
' Launch Excel
set app = createobject("Excel.Application")
' Make it visible
app.Visible = true
' Open xla file
app.Workbooks.Open("C:ProgrammeSAPFrontEndBWsapbex.xla")
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!sapBEXinit")
' Logon to BW
logonToBW2 = False
Set myConnection = app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXgetConnection")
With myConnection
.client = "001"
.User = "myuser"
.Password = "mypw"
.Language = "de"
.systemnumber = "00"
.ApplicationServer = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
.UseSAPLogonIni = false
.Logon 0, True
If .IsConnected = 0 Then
MsgBox "Verbunden"
.Logon 0, False
If .IsConnected <> 1 Then
MsgBox "Fehler beim Verbinden"
End If
End If
End With
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXinitConnection")
logonToBW2 = True
' Give the user control of Excel
app.UserControl = true
end sub
</SCRIPT>
<P> </P>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick= "bwreport()">Alternative Excel</button>
</body>
</html>
I'm still working on two issues here and hope you can help me:
1.
app.Workbooks.Open("C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\BW\sapbex.xla")
The Webscript will be used by many BW-Users so the full installation path is not the same for all users. Is there a way to start the Analyzer without the full path ?
When I start Excel with "Excel.Application" via OLE out of my Script, then BEx is not automatically loaded, that's why I need the above line.
But when I start Excel manually, it's loaded automatically. So there has to be some way Excel "knows" the location of an installed BEx Add-In. Maybe there is some addition to say Excel to start all it's usual Add-Ins, or to start in standard behaviour ?
2.
app.Run("SAPBEX.XLA!sapBEXinit")
Before I added this line, I always got the BEx Analyzer title "xxxsapbexxxx" and was unable to use any macros or functionality of the BEx Analyzer.
I found hints and code examples to use "RunAutoMacros" so sapbex.xla is fully initialized but wasn't able to make it work in my code.
So I checked the macros of sapbex.xla and "sapBEXinit" seems to do the job although I'm not sure if this is a complete/clean initialization of the sapbex.
Thx,
Thomas

Welcome to SDN.
First of all thanks for sharing the script, good work.
coming to your first question.
you can get the path by reading the system registry
its under <b>"SAP.BusinessExplorer.Analyzer\path"</b>
if you analyze the FM "RSAH_LAUNCH_EXCEL" in BW system, you can get the logic for your script.

Place link annotations with IAC

Hi together,
I want to place 'invisible' rectangle annotations on drawings, which link to other drawings (pdf). This is to be done using OLE Automation of the Acrobat Interapplication Communication. I already succeeded in doing so with a plug-in, but I need to do it from outside Acrobat. In the IAC OLE API I miss some essential methods. To illustrate this here is my code of the plug-in (C++):
void PlaceLink(int iLeft, int iTop, int iRight, int iBottom, CString cstrFileToOpen)
    AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
    PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);
    PDPage page = NULL;
    PDAnnot annot,linkannot;
    //Create an ASFixed object and define its borders
    ASFixedRect fr;
    fr.left = ASInt32ToFixed(iLeft);
    fr.top = ASInt32ToFixed(iTop);
    fr.right = ASInt32ToFixed(iRight);
    fr.bottom = ASInt32ToFixed(iBottom);
    PDLinkAnnotBorder frBorder;
    frBorder.width=0;
    //Create a PDPage object
    page = PDDocAcquirePage(pdDoc, 0);
    //Create a PDAnnot object and
    //Cast the PDAnnot object to a PDLinkAnnot object
    annot = PDPageCreateAnnot(page, ASAtomFromString("Link"),&fr);
    linkannot = CastToPDLinkAnnot(annot);
    //Set the border and the action, then add it to a page
    ASAtom pathType = ASAtomFromString("Cstring");
    ASFileSys fileSys = ASGetDefaultFileSysForPath(pathType,cstrFileToOpen);
    ASPathName pathLaunchFile = ASFileSysCreatePathName(fileSys,pathType,cstrFileToOpen, NULL);
    PDFileSpec laFile = PDFileSpecNewFromASPath(pdDoc,fileSys,pathLaunchFile,NULL);
    PDAction linkAction = PDActionNewFromFileSpec(pdDoc,ASAtomFromString("Launch"),laFile);
    PDLinkAnnotSetAction(linkannot,linkAction);
    PDLinkAnnotSetBorder(linkannot, &frBorder);
    PDPageAddAnnot(page,-2,linkannot);
In comparison here is my code for IAC OLE so far (C#):
private void btnStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     Acrobat.AcroAVDoc avBaseDoc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();
     avBaseDoc.Open(strBasefile, strBasefile);
     avBaseDoc.BringToFront();
     Acrobat.AcroPDDoc pdDoc = avBaseDoc.GetPDDoc() as Acrobat.AcroPDDoc;
     Acrobat.AcroPDPage pdPage = pdDoc.AcquirePage(0) as Acrobat.AcroPDPage;
     Acrobat.AcroRect anRect = new Acrobat.AcroRect();
     anRect.Left = 100; anRect.Top = 100;
     anRect.right = 300; anRect.bottom = 200;
     Acrobat.AcroPDAnnot pdAnnot = pdPage.AddNewAnnot(-1, "Link", anRect) as Acrobat.AcroPDAnnot;
In comparison there are some essential methods/properties I have not found until now:
- setting the border to 0 (PDLinkAnnotSetBorder(linkannot, &frBorder) and PDLinkAnnotBorder at all)
- setting the action and file to launch (PDLinkAnnotSetAction(linkannot,linkAction), PDActionNewFromFileSpec(pdDoc,ASAtomFromString("Launch"),laFile)) and PDAction at all)
My impression is, that there really aren't such methods and it seems not to be possible to place link annotations with IAC OLE. But before I give up, maybe I'm only blind, I want to ask other developers, wether they can comfirm this. (Any Adobe staff is also welcome to give an answere)
Thanks in advance
Rolf

Thanks Leonard,
now I know for sure, that I have to put my effort in looking for alternatives, such as you described.
In the meantime I have found another alternative: using the jsObj.
Currently I succeeded in placing the link and setting simple actions like going to the next page. Next thing I have to find out is, wether it is possible to open another PDF via JS or if there are some security issues to be taken into account...
Thanks again and have a great day
Rolf

Preflight droplet returns too early

I want to convert a color PDF into grayscale. So I created a new preflight profile where nothing happens except color fixup:
Advanced > Print Production > Preflight
PDF Fixups > Convert to Grayscale
I saved the profile and created a Droplet named grey.exe.
When I call grey.exe smallSize_1MB.pdf everything is fine. But when I have to convert a PDF having big filesize like grey.exe bigSize_160MB.pdf the Droplet .exe process returns before the preflight is done.
Problems: A script (e.g. a batch file) continues without waiting for the Droplet to finish. So the script cannot make use the Droplet's result, e.g. a preflight report or the converted PDF file.
Why does the Droplet's .exe process return too early? Everybody can test this with the help of the attached Droplet and the following batch scripts:
smallSize.bat (use something small, e.g. 1 MB or smaller):
copy /Y smallSize.pdf tmp.pdf
grey.exe tmp.pdf
echo "return"
pause
bigSize.bat (use something really big, e.g. 160 MB or bigger):
copy /Y bigSize.pdf tmp.pdf
grey.exe tmp.pdf
echo "return"
pause
Ideas, anyone?
Message was edited by: Droptix I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
Message was edited by: Droptix As an alternative I can imagine to re-produce the Droplet's function by Interapplication communication (IAC) through OLE, see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/interapplication.html -> if anyone can tell me how to do a grayscale conversion via IAC/OLE... would be great! I know the IAC/OLE basics, can open, save and edit PDFs but don't know how to convert. It would also be possible to use: Advanced/Print Production/Convert Colors > set all Document Colors to convert > set Blending profile for instance to Gray Gamma 1.8 > set conversion options to don't embed profile.

This is not a good way to do it. But this is the way I do it now...
It seems to work but there is no guarantee that it will work in the future, or even on all machines.
private static int WaitForAcrobatReady() {
// Get the current Acrobat instance.
var app = new Acrobat.AcroApp();
// While a preflight (droplet) is running, app.GetNumAVDocs() will
// not return ANYTHING, it will just hang.
return app.GetNumAVDocs();
To sum up the efforts of the last weeks: Acrobat doesn't seem to be made for inclusion in other automation jobs. This is just another thing that doesn't work.
(I had to use the C# library PDFSharp to do other things that Acrobat can do really well only that it's not possible to set those properties, or start that kind of actions, from "outside".)

Logical page numbering in SDK

Hi
Does somebody know of a way to retrieve the logical page numbering of a page in the SDK? I'm using the IAC OLE interface in VBA for Excel, and I'd ideally like to go to the page specified by it's logical page number (section numbering), something like:
Set AView = AcroAVDoc.GetAVPageView()
AView.GoTo("1-13")
However the only option appears to be to supply the page's absolute number to the GoTo function. I'm not afraid of using another interface if its available to me, but from all my research I can't turn up anything describing what I'd like. From what I can see, logical numbering only exists in the Acrobat application.
Sombody asked a similar question in another forum but it wasn't answered, I'm hoping this is a better place for it:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/507321
Thanks in anticipation, Andrew

Actually I can get the page labels (logical numbers) using the JSObject interface getPageLabel function on the document, then open to the absolute page number. This way it looks like the hyperlinks are going to the logical page numbers.

Annotation tool disabled in online review

Hi,
We have a rather old online review system which still uses Adobe Live Cycle Reader Extensions 7.0. We can still use annotations with Adobe Reader up to version X, but starting with version XI, the annotation tools appear disabled:
It might be a backwards compatibility issue, but is there a know fix or workaround?
Thanks!
R.

I would guess that this is an IAC/OLE limitation. When you embed an application within the browser host control end up with a representation of the application that is usually not as fully featured as the standalone application.

Installing Essbase Excel Add-in on 11.1.2 and Excel 2007

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing the excel add-in (essexcln.xll) on Office 2007 and 11.1.2? I've been trying over the weekend, so that I can start using the vba api with essbase and I'm having no luck. I've tried the essexcln.xll at (installed drive)\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\essbase\bin and I'm getting a "file is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message box, and a whole spreadsheet of random characters.
I've also tried installing the add-in through the patch created for 11.1.1.3. The add-in works, but if I try to use the API to open an outline, I get an "outline too new" error.
Anyone have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi John,
Thanks for the help. So I've tried installing the add-in both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and I'm still getting the "The file you are trying to open, 'essexcln.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" message box. I've tried running excel as an administrator, then adding the add-in through excel's add-in menu.
When I open the file, the first line of the sheet says: This program cannot be run in dos mode.
Also, both servers are 64-bit. I'm unsure if this could affect the add-in working.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
