I want to extract the table data from pdf to excel/csv. How can I do this using Automation Anywhere?
Please find below the sample table from pdf document.
There are multiple ways to extract data from PDFs.
You can extract raw data, formatted data, or create form fields if the layout is consistent.
If the layout is more random, you might want to take a look at IQ Bot, where there are predefined classifications for things like Orders etc.
I would err on using form fields if you have unusual fonts like " for inches character if you have a standard format, since the encoding doesn't map well with the raw/formatted option.
The raw format has some quirks where you don't always get all the characters you expect, such as missing first letter of a data item for raw.
The formatted option is good at capturing tabular columns as they go across the line.
Would you please help me (total beginner) to prepare a VBA macro that would open a sheet on the background and import specific selection as shown below:
Let's say we have downloaded wordcount analysis (xlsx) like this downloaded from a CAT tool for testing.
Now I would need to add a macro to my main sheet that would read lines starting (Column A) with "All". If "All" then I'd need to record columns of that line (specficilly Columns A - O) in array / hashtable?.
Please take a look at this image that summs it all (better than explaining it for me :-)
Let me know in case you need to know more details.
All tips / suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
My suggestion (I'm a beginner too) would be to use the Macro Recorder. Great tool to learn (example).
start recording
filter for 'ALL'
copy/past the Cells
stop Recording
Then have a look at the recorded code and adjust it :)
Looking at your data and the final layout you are looking for, using a Pivot Table would provide you with all of the flexibility you need.
You can:
filter which data to display
generate calculated values based on data in other columns
choose what order your columns are displayed
dynamically change the layout if you decide you want a different view
From your data, I was able to generate the following Pivot Table in about 15 minutes.
There are several good, simple tutorials on building Pivot Tables. A Google search will turn up plenty.
Things you will need to learn about for your particular problem:
Classic display (I used the classic display to get this particular layout)
Calculated Fields (many of the columns in the pivot table are calculated based on your spec). There is a maximum string length of 255 characters for a field calculation, so you may need to rename some of the columns in the original data set.
Of course, basics of Pivot Tables
Loading new data and updating your pivot table
Good Luck!
I am planning to use doc4j for search and replace in a template. I'do like to create the page for each member in the list. Basically, I need to replicate the same page from the template. I have done simple search and replace. However, this little complex one for which I need some sample examples. Here is my requirement:
I have a docx template which has the content with place holders.
There is a table with 3 columns in it and I need to replace with different values for each column like first name, last name and etc. The number of rows may vary anywhere from one to 200. So technically this may go beyond one page. If it exceeds more than one page, then I need the table header to repeat in the next page too.
I want to copy the same template on every page and replace the place holder. Basically create a single document with multiple pages each page for one member.
Please provide me with the example.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks.
I am currently trying to insert pictures into a word document using access, I currently have a form with a button that uses a folder browser to search for pictures...these pictures are stored in a table!.
I can then select those pictures and insert them into a document, this all goes well, the problem is...I need to then group them (maximum 4 pictures in one group) after days of searching I cannot find any solutions to my problem.
It seems that I must first discover the position of the pictures and then I can go further, the problem there is...that there can be many pictures in total in the document so they do not have a fixed point and there is text between and after the pictures.
How do I solve this?
The most reliable and controlable approach is to place the pictures in table cells. In your case, probably a 2x2 table. Insert the table first (Tables.Add method) then get the target Cell.Range and use the Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture method to insert the picture.
Note that you should be able to control the width (or height) of the picture by setting the column (row) to an EXACT size. The other dimension should adjust automatically to retain the proportions.
I have a problem/question with Slickgrid.
On a website I have a big table and i want it to be rendered with slickgrid.
Loading data via JS is not possible.
So my question is, whether it is possible to get the data of a HTML-Table as source for a slickgrid?
And if yes how can I solve this?
I don't think SlickGrid suits your needs best here. I think DataTables will be better suitable to convert HTML-table data to a formatted grid which supports jQuery.
Hope this helps!
You could also load data by looping through your existing table to create your data variable.
Hide the HTML table
For each row in the table
Assign cell content to data[rownumber][column_name or number]
next
Then take the populated data variable and feed it to SlickGrid
