Transferring .pdf content with markups to Excel
I am trying to transfer the contents of a .pdf file using Adobe Reader 9 to an Excel 2007 document. I have been able to copy the base content of the .pdf file using the Copy File to Clipboard function, but the markups to the .pdf don't transfer with it and I can't figure how to include these markups in the transfer. Please help.
Not possible with Adobe Reader.

Capture content with markup element
Hi All,
I struck with capturing the content with markuptag within that content.
For Eg;
<p> xxxx<i>ssdf</i>sdfasdfas<b>sdfasdfas</b>asfdgsadfasd</p>
Here i want to capture the contents of Element "p" with the markuptags "i, /i, b, /b"
I am using the statement like
var myString = myXMLElement.texts.item(0).contents;
Pls. help me out to find a solution for this.
regards,
SureshHi, I know that I´m a kind of late in this discussion, but I faced a similar problem exactly in now days and in a way to show my grateful to this specific forum conversation that gave me the light I was needing, I want to share my solution here.
My Problem:
I have a customizable "Help" text that could be seen in some pages of the application. It is edit from a special Help Management page throw a Rich Text Editor and it is related to the corresponding page. When the final user opens the specific page, the text has to be shown as it was edited in the Rich Text Editor.
My solution came in this way:
*1. Create the Shortcut: "Help_Text"*
DECLARE
CURSOR C_Help IS
select Concat(Concat('<div class="textRegion">',Help_Text),'</div>')
from Help_by_Page_Table
where app_id = :app_id
and page_id = :app_page_id;
vHelp_Text CLOB;
BEGIN
OPEN C_Help;
FETCH C_Help INTO vAyuda_Rapida;
CLOSE C_Help;
RETURN vHelp_Text;
END;
*2. In the desire page: Create a HTML Region(with shorcuts)*
Region_Source:"Help_Text"
*3. Job is done!*
I just have to add that I´m using the Standard Theme: Productivity Applications, the class "textRegion" is part of the classes defined in this theme.

Displaying CLOB column content with markup
I have a table with a CLOB type column, and I a using a n APEX form to input into this column using a Rich Text Editor.
When I save the text and then re-open it again with the Rich Text Editor in the form, the markup (bold, spacing, etc) has successfully been saved and retrieved.
I want to also create another page to show one record at a time (to users who I don't want to be able to edit the form), but I can't get the text to be displayed nicely with the markup.
I have tried using a dynamic PL/SQL region as well as an item within a HTML region, but it always displays without the markup.
How do I do this correctly?Hi, I know that I´m a kind of late in this discussion, but I faced a similar problem exactly in now days and in a way to show my grateful to this specific forum conversation that gave me the light I was needing, I want to share my solution here.

My IBooks will not sync PDF content with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but no content. Both devices are set to sync collections? Any ideas how to fix this?
The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books or PDFs between devices - all it does is if you have the book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will be put into the same collection on the other device.
You will need to sync each PDF that you want on your phone. If you don't currently have them on your computer then connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks on it do File > Move Books From iTunes in the iBooks app on it, and you can then sync them to your iPhone. -

The issues i'm facing are:
When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?
How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.
An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

Wiki content with no markup?
We have been using the wiki to collaborate on things like manuscripts and grant proposals, and we have two overlapping issues. First, the wiki editor is slow. This drives some of our users crazy (personally, yes, it's slow, but not impossibly slow). Second, we use a script to snag wiki content from its directory on the server and construct a formatted PDF file with references, tables, figures, and so on. The main thing that the script has to do is to strip out all of the web markup so that it can impose its own (e.g., groff or latex).
It occurs to me that if there were a "no markup" option for a wiki page -- that is, the page would be stored and interpreted by browsers as ".txt" -- then the fancy wiki editor would no longer be used and the browser's simple "text box" editor would suffice. This would make using the wiki much faster (but perhaps less pretty). It would also simplify the collaborative process where web-style markup really isn't useful.
Having the ability to lock a wiki page against edits would also be very useful.Thanks for responding.
No, the problem isn't in converting the wiki pages to text format, the script uses html2text for that.
Our main problem is that the wiki pages are (1) stored and (2) edited in html format. This means that the Apple wiki editor must be used, and this is so slow that our users complain about it and use the wiki less because of it.
There are also minor formatting problems caused by the wiki software sticking in unicode unbreakable space characters (c2a0), but the script "handles" these by converting them to ordinary spaces. I note that the output of the .txt URL method has them too.
I do like the idea of using the .txt idea to get the text version of the wiki page. I'm going to play around with that and perhaps generalize the script. As of now, the scripe delves into the plists of the pages to get the page titles, and it converts and sends all of the pages bundled together in a tar file. If I can figure out how to get curl through the wiki login sequence, I would be able to use that method to get specific pages.
Cheers,

Recently I got a new laptop, with excel 2010 version and acrobat 9 standard.
I could no longer print (save as) an excel file with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks.
My old computer has excel 2007 version and acrobat 9 standard.
Print an excel file into pdf with bookmarks was a piece of cake.
Both machine has the same add-in -- Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM addin
Thanks if anyone could help me with this.
TomYou need to upgrade Acrobat to a newer version.

Question
firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc . -
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.

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Why I cannot print a PDF with markups?
We use Acrobat Standard 7.0.8 and cannot print a PDF document form with markups. We found a "quick fix" to print it, which was to select in the print dialogue to print Document and Markups.
Question:
Because we've sent the form to our clients, they several have reported this about the form. Do you know why this would happen? Is it that they are using a different version of Adobe? Or what is the problem?
JoeThat's the way the application works. If you think the default should be to print the markups send a feature request to Adobe, but I doubt it will happen. You just need to explain to your clients how to do it. It's quite simple.

Table of Content with page number for entire pdf
Hi
We need to merge dynamic pdf with n number of static pdf.
The output of the generated pdf has one of the page called Table Of Content with page number.
For this we have created following process
We created a form using Adobe livecycle form designer to populates input data(xml).
We created process to generate dynamic pdf .
We have static pdf's in some folder location(Eg:C:\temp)
We created xsl to generate DDX to merge Dynamic pdf with static pdf's by using an assembler operation in the Process
There are number of static specification pdf's inserted in between of dynamic pdf using logic in xsl.
We used bookmark option in xsl for creating table of content .
While invoking the process we are able to generate the correct merged pdf with some unformatted page of table of content
We can explain better in the following way where we are actually facing a challenge:
We need a table of content in the below mentioned format:
PAGE
MAIN DESCRIPTION n
ID1 NAME1 DESCRIPTION 1 m
ID2POK NAME2 DESCRIPTION 2 m
FDJKHJG
ID3 NAME3 DESCRIPTION 3 m
MAIN DESCRIPTION2 n
ID3 NAME3 DESCRIPTION 5 m
ID4 NAME4 DESCRIPTION 4 m
ID5 NAME5 DESCRIPTION 5 m
Since the pdf merging and numbering is done using ddx at runtime, page number tag is not there in xml and therefore the toc page cannot be populated at the time of form design.
The issue we are facing is that, by using ddx script we are not able to align id,name,description in table of content in proper manner. We want to wrap particular id ,name and description in their respective columns.
Currently, we are getting the below mentioned result which is not in a proper format.
PAGE
MAIN DESCRIPTION n
ID1HDSJHJDHFDJFHD NAME1FDJFHDJH DESCRIP
TION 1 m
ID2POKLFDJKHJG NAME2FDJKFJDKFJKD DESCRI
PTION 2 m
ID3 NAME3 DESCRIPTION 3 m
Note: Page numbering has been done only after merging all the pdf(Dynamic and static) using ddx instead of the adobe livecycle form designer.
Is there any solution to resolve the formatting issue or any other option to create table of content dynamically ?Hi SaCvP,
According to your description, you want to display the table of contents with page number in SSRS 2014.
In Reporting Services, the global variable PageNumber or Totalpages can be only used in the page header and page footer. In your scenario, you can create a table of content using document map, but we can’t specify the expression with PageNumber or Totalpages.
So your requirement can’t be achieved currently.
Reference:
Create a Document Map (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad. I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions please.
Hi,
When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.
