When I save a PDF as an Excel File, all of the data in the PDF is put into one column (AdobeXI)

Hi, thanks for taking the time...
I'm running a machine with Windows 7, Office 2010, and Acrobat XI.  When I save a specific PDF as an Excel workbook, all of the data in the original PDF is sorted correctly in four columns.  When the same task is performed on this file on another user's machine, all of the data is sorted into one column.  The user has the same versions of Windows, Office, and Acrobat.  I've attempted the "Repair installation" option but the problem persists.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again for helping,
-E

Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

  • When I save an e-mail as a file, it opens (seems stuck) to the same old one saved earlier. How do I unstick it?

    I use a MAC desktop and Thunderbird with latest update. Recently, when I've tried to open an e-mail that I saved earlier as a file with the .eml suffix, what opens is always the same unrelated e-mail that I saved earlier to an unrelated file. It seems stuck on that same unrelated e-mail, no matter what the file or what e-mail I intended to save. For example, I save (i.e., drop-down menu: Save As - File) an e-mail that I received regarding Topic A; then I go to the folder or file to which I saved it and locate the e-mail under the correct name in which I saved it; I double click and then click on Open; what always opens is an e-mail of a few months ago that I received from Bernie. It doesn't happen on my MAC Air laptop.

    Until recently, I've been able to save e-mails to files and folders by clicking "Save As" on the dropdown File menu. In the last few weeks, whenever I open any one of the many e-mails that I've saved over time as files, it doesn't open the e-mail that I'm trying to open. Instead, what opens up is always the same old email of a couple of months ago that has no relationship to the one I'm trying to open. Somehow, it's stuck on that same old e-mail. So, yes, your response is technically correct: (a) I open the message, and (b) I see what's in there. But what I always see is the same old unrelated e-mail message. My question is how do I get past that e-mail that it's stuck on to the e-mail that I saved but won't open up? Sorry to be such a pest.

  • When buying a book bundle, are all the books separate or are they put into one huge book?

    iBook Bundles

    Hi Ronald,
    It seems the thumbnails are messed up. Try a rebuild of thumbnails and see if it solves the problem.
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • When I save XY plots as a jpeg file, I lose my resolution. The plot automatically fixes the resolution and I lose some data. Is there a way to change these settings so that I get a carbon-copy of my graphs ? Thanks !

    Thanks for your help !
    Kudos always welcome for helpful posts

    jpeg is a lossy image compression. Try seeting the "quality" input to 100 (default is 80).
    I would recommend to use PNG instead, it's a better format for this purpose. (jpeg is for photographs).

  • Can you batch save as pdf's to excel files

    I was wondering if there was a way of batch saving a number of PDF documents to EXCEL files so then we can collate and graph the data from there.

    Hi Chris ,
    I would request you to refer the following document that explains how to batch save files .

  • Having issues Creating a PDF from an Excel file

    When creating PDFs from an Excel file using the Adobe PDF printer, I sometimes run into an issue where the PDF ends up shrinking what's on the document and distorting the image. I have examined all Print Settings and can't find a difference between any of the margin settings, paper size, etc. Once I go to print to Adobe PDF, it just changes the way the whole document looks and is spaced.
    To work around the issue, I use Microsoft's built in Save As PDF feature, but that's only works some of the time. I would like to use the Acrobat software so that I can also edit the document immediately without having to re-open it.

    Be sure Adobe PDF is selected as the printer in the print menu. Then do a print preview. It it looks wrong then, it is likely an Excel format issue.

  • Converting A PDF to an Excel File

    I recently purchased a list that has something along the lines of 1600 pages of data.  When I purchased it, I was told it would be in an Excel spreadsheet I could manipulate and work with.  Instead, it came in a PDF.
    Is there anyway I can convert that PDF to an Excel file?  I have been looking into third party software, does anyone have any recommendations?
    Thanks.

    You can try saving the entire file as an Excel spreadsheet (in Acrobat X it's under File - Save As - Spreadsheet), or you can select parts of the text (using the Text Selection Tool), and then right-clicking it and exporting it or copying it as a table, if that option appears.

  • Is there a way to export the data collected with PDF forms, and saved via FormsCentral, into a MS Excel or Access file format?

    or Is there another place to save data collected by PDF forms other than FormsCentral? e.g. another database on the web server that presents the form?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can export user responses into an excel file. To do that, open the responses tab, select Files -> Export Responses and select Microsoft Excel to export response data into.
    Thanks,

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file.  I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with.  I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time.  Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal. 
    So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

    Hi
    1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
    2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
    3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
    4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
    5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
    6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
    So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
    Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
    OR
    1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
    2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
    3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
    4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
    5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
    Else  you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
    While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.

  • Problem while refreshing the data for the second time using excel services in sharepoint 2013...

    Hi,
    I have migrated my Sharepoint from 2010 to 2013.I am able to get the data at the first time of refresh when I click on refresh for the second time I am getting the empty the sheet.
    below find the flow of refresh
    First Refresh
    On Click of refresh open the workbook with excel services and return the session id.
    Using that session I am invoking RefrehAsync method of excel services
    After refresh completed I am setting the calculation of workbook as automatic(to calculate the formulas) using the same session id
    After setting the calculation as Automatic I am setting the calculation type as full(recalculate) using the same session id.
    Now I am able to see the data
    Second Refresh
    After clicking on refresh instead of opening the workbook I am using the session id(already opened workbook) and setting the calculation type as manual
    I am following the same process from refresh(RefreshAsync) as I have followed in first refresh.
    This time my formulas are not getting calculated because of that I am not able to see the data.
    Could you please let me know that am I missing anything here?
    Is this know issue in Sharepoint2013 excel services as same code is working fine with Sharepoint2010.
    If I close the workbook(session id null) and opens(new session id) for all the refreshes it is working and I am able to see the data.
    Thanks,
    Meenakshi Nagpal

    I am able to see the data for the second refresh  if I change the data source.If I use the same data source which is used in the first refresh I am not getting the data.Excel services will contact the cubes and calculate the formulas in my workbook.
    Could you please let me know what could be the problem at second refresh while contacting the same data source with same session id?
    Please help me asap.
    Thanks,
