i am trying to do something a bit difficult (for me) here. So i have a PDF with over a 100 pages and an excel sheet with all the corresponding names of each page.
So what i want is a way to split the PDF into individual PDFs and rename them according to the excel sheet.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have Acrobat?
There is a function to split PDFs by pages, book marks etc in there. I am sure other PDF editing software has a similar feature.
You can then write a VBA script or similar to read the Excel and rename the files, if you are comfortable with code: How to rename multiple pdf files used excel database vba
Or you could try a file name changing software, something like http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

I have 1700 PDF datasheets that contain a set of text and image boxes. The underlying template of each datasheet is the same, but the contents of the boxes vary. I'd like to find a program that lets me take the modified text box contents (summarized in an excel table) and repopulate the original sheets.
I have extracted the information from the text boxes using the "Merge Data files into an excel file" under the Prepare Form tool in Adobe DC and have used a variety of =Substitute functions in excel to change the contents of the text boxes to what I want. What I would like to do now is use a program to go back to the original .PDF and overwrite the original fields. I would just run a mail merge on this normally, but I don't have access to the images anymore so the image boxes would be blank.
Alternatively I've considered using something like Pulover Macro Creator to step through the excel list and paste in the contents into every sheet, but I'm hoping that there's an existing piece of software to do this.
So what my client wants to accomplish seems pretty simple. We will have PPTX file template with a few Excel sheets embedded in it, and a few charts too.
We have created such template file. We are able to extract it, update excel files that sit in ppt/embedded directory with new ones, and pack it back.
The problem is, the display values of the tables or charts do not update automatically when such file is opened. You have to double click on a spreadsheet table or chart to trigger "edit mode". When you leave it the charts are updated.
We figured that internally, PowerPoint is doing screenshots of tables or charts, and uses it to display presentation. This is probably to allow presentation players that do not come with Excel to correctly render the presentation with embedded sheets.
Is there a way I can programatically update the screenshots of tables/charts? Is there some sort of API from Microsoft that would allow me to do that, like "MS Office API".
Maybe there is some way to have MS office configured/scripted, so I send it a file, it runs a VB script on it and returns updated value? I figured I can actually trigger update to screenshots with VB script. But I don't know if I can orchestrate Office program to do what I want.
Help? :)
I am trying to open a .pdf file within Excel like an iframe in HTML.
My requirement is:
Save the path of multiple PDF files in Excel.
Excel should open each .pdf file within Excel itself (no need to open that in a separate .pdf window).
It should be like iframe in HTML. The user should be able
to view the .pdf within Excel itself.
I know this is little weird, but can anybody help me?
you could probably get the filenames via vba.
here's some that claim to work:
Loop through files in a folder using VBA?
So far as opening a pdf in excel - thats kinda pushing it.
Since your request is exotic I can think of an exotic workaround:
If you can spare the interactivity you can simply make copies and convert your pdfs to word formats to work with them and load them in that way. I've seen people convert pdfs to Jpgs just to load them in some other documents but thats rudimentary and really fringe.
Otherwise you are facing a lot of custom coding that needs to make it possible.
I have an excel sheet with too many columns, so when I save it as a PDF the file its in too many pages and its not easy to read . I need to save the sheet as pdf but before I want to change its orientation to horizontal so I can read the pdf with no problem. Is the same you can do when you print but I want it when I save an excel file as pdf.
Is there any option I can choose?
I dont mind if someone gives me a code for a macro using my selection as an object.
Under the "Page Layout" tab, click the "Orientation" option and then select "Landscape."
Then create your PDF as usual.
You can save Excel files in PDF, even without using Excel. I use a program Universal Document Converter (http://www.print-driver.com/how-to/save-excel-as-pdf). This program allows you to quickly and easily create print-ready PDF-files on the basis of the original spreadsheets Excel.
I'm creating a program which extracts a docx file, displays it in a Javafx graphic interface with buttons in place of flags put in the docx, and when one puts on it, it modifies the docx taken in input.
I'm using the docx4j API for extracting and modifying the document.
The problem is that the program fails if i take in entry a docx generated from Microsoft Word. I'm forced to use an artifice.
I'm taking my docx made on Word, then i load it in Google Docs and I use the "Download in .docx format" option. If i directly put the docx from Word in my program, it fails.
I noticed my Word file was two times lighter after being passed trough google doc. Same, if I tale a docx file downloaded from Google Docs, if i open it in Word and modify one letter and save it, he becomes two times heavier. For the record i use word 2008.
That's it, so I'd like to know if someone know what explains this difference.
Thanks
