Telephone numbers in a excel spread sheet not recognized by Adobe Acrobat DC

Before my upgrade to Adobe Acrobat DC on my iPhone, telephone numbers in a excel spread sheet was recognized by Acrobat Reader as such i.e. You would touch and hold the number, then a 'pop up' would appear that gave the option to 'CALL' or 'SEND A MESSAGE'. This function no longer works in Adobe Acrobat DC, why not?

Hi,
Acrobat DC for iOS uses the Apple iOS SDK to display the preview of non-PDF documents (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
It looks like an Apple bug for failing to auto-detect phone numbers only in Excel spreadsheets.
I opened my Excel (.xlsx and .xls), Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx) documents with phone numbers in Acrobat DC for iOS. The phone numbers in the Word and PowerPoint documents were correctly recognized as such. In the preview, the plain text turns into blue underlined text. When you press and hold over the phone number, you will get the options that you have mentioned.
On the other hand, the phone numbers in the Excel spreadsheet were not recognized in the preview. In Excel, I used Format Cells > Number > Special > Phone Number with United States (English) as language. But it did not fix the problem.
As it turns out, the Apple Mail preview (on iOS 8) has the same problem. You can also email your Excel spreadsheet to yourself and open it in Apple Mail on your iPhone to confirm that it is an Apple bug.
You may want to post a question in the Apple Support
iPhone - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Apple Support
or use Word documents instead for auto-detection of phone numbers.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity?

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity? I am using a MACBook Air

just read this in an other answer:
Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

Autocad 2010 drawing pasted in microsoft excel 2007 spread sheet not visible after converting excel

Hello, I am having an issue with Autocad 2010 drawings not showing up in a pdf document. Normally, I cut and paste part of an Autocad 2010 drawing into a Microsoft Excel 2007 spread sheet. Then, using Adobe Distiller, I convert the Excel spread sheet into a pdf document for propriatary purposes. However, recently the drawing pasted into Excel will not fully appear on the pdf, the drawing is cut off past a certain point. The drawing will print normally in Excel, but in pdf will not print normally. If the drawing is shrunk below the "cut off" point, it appears normally. If the drawing is expanded above the "cut off" point, any additional image is lost. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

See "[Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs] How to correct bad PDFdisplay
of Excel 2007 graph-Adobe ProX?" and similar discussions. Are you
scaling it to less than 100%?

How to transfer a set of data from Excel spread sheet to an Access database

hi,
Can any one please tell me how to transfer a set of data from Excel spread sheet to an Access database using SQL query.I'm using java API currently. I have done all sorts of ODBC connection in administrative tools.The file is in correct location. I have done certain coding but with errors.Help me to get rid of these errors,
Coding:*
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection datacon=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:exdata","",""); *//For Excel driver*
Connection datacon1=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:stock1","",""); *// For mdb driver*
Statement datast=datacon.createStatement();
Statement datast1=datacon1.createStatement();
ResultSet excelrs=datast.executeQuery("select item_code,sdata,closing_stock from phy "); *//phy is the excel file*
while(excelrs.next())
String ic=excelrs.getString("item_code");
System.out.println(ic);
String d=excelrs.getString("sdate");
double cs=excelrs.getDouble("closing_stock");
int dbrs=datast1.executeUpdate("insert into second values('"+ic+"','"+d+"',"+cs+")"); *//second is the mdb*
excelrs.close();
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
Error:*
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'C:\JavaGreen\phy.xls'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.

No i haven't mixed up.But the file from where i have to retrieve the data is in csv format.Even though i created another csv driver.and tried but i cud not find a solution to load/transfer a set of records from one file(in Excel/csv format) to another file(in mdb format).plz help me.Is there any other methods for this data transfer.A csv file is NOT an excel file.
The fact that Excel can import a csv file doesn't make it an excel file.
If you have a csv file then you must use a csv driver or just use other code (not jdbc) to access it. There is, normally, a ODBC (nothing to do with java) text driver that can do that.

Problem in writing data to excel spread sheet

Hi Folks,
I have developed a jdbc application that writes data to excel spread sheet.while trying to write data to excel, it could not write date values properly.it is writing 00.00.0 for all the date feilds.
Can some one help here.
Thanks in advance.

You can try VistaJDBC at http://www.easyhr.com.au/software/easy_mdb_mde_compactor.htm .
Otherwise you can write your code to csv/xml/dbase III format, since Excel can open those file format easily.

Exporting each articles button names to an Excel Spread Sheet or other form

Is there a way to export a list of all the button names in each article to an Excel spread sheet or some other form? If someone knows of a script that does this that would work to. The button names are based on their function: OL = Overlay, TAB = Tab and BTN = Button. Here is an example of one of the articles that we have gone through and named the buttons and what they do. We just do not want to have to go to each button in each article and copy and past it to an Excel doc.

@stephen0218 – with the following line or the ones that you are using:
app.documents[0].buttons.everyItem()
you will hardly address all buttons in a document.
At least not in a document that is prepared for ADPS.
You'll get just the ones that sit plain on the page: not inside groups, not inside other objects like rectangles or states of MultiStateObjects (MSOs).
You will have more luck if you are using "allPageItems" and sorting out the buttons.
But be aware that "allPageItems" is blind to objects (also buttons) in states of MSOs that do not belong to the active state.

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
Regards,
Barry

Uploading excel spread sheet using gui_upload

Now once u get all the data in tl_data u can split it into ure required internal table as shown below.
Write the below logic after calling the above FM.
LOOP AT tl_data .
