Adobe Javascript from Excel VBA

I have some have little experience with VBA Excel and Adobe Javascript separately, but I never tried to put it together. I'm quite baffled by the use of 'DoJavaScript' from in Excel VBA. I have a number of JavaScripts Illustrator that do various tasks (for the most part, measure and set properties on illustrator objects to determine geometric measures). I wanted to run these scripts from Excel VBA (they run smoothly when it is called directly in Illustrator). My hope was to spend some real numbers of VBA in the JavaScript code before we ran to set some performance parameters and get some real numbers back out the JavaScript in VBA. I can't get even the simple DoJavaScript given command in Adobe VBscript reference to run. Read other messages that seem somewhat related that it is unclear if I hurt something very simple, or if my understanding of the use of the DoJavaScript command is incorrect. Is anyone able to shed some light on this?

My last try was this simple test... almost directly from the reference from Adobe:

Private Sub SetScale_CommandButton1_Click()

Set appRef = CreateObject ("Illustrator.Application")

Set myNumberOfDocuments = appRef.DoJavaScript("documents.length;")

MsgBox myNumberOfDocuments

End Sub

I really hope to be able to run javascripts that are a few hundred lines long..but, even if I can't get something simple to go so I'm about to give up on this.

Thanks for your suggestions

I got type mismatch error, to make your sample work, simply remove the "second".

Private Sub SetScale_CommandButton1_Click()

Set appRef = CreateObject ("Illustrator.Application")

myNumberOfDocuments = appRef.DoJavaScript("documents.length;")

MsgBox myNumberOfDocuments

End Sub

  • Add a footer to PDF from Excel vba

    Hello

    I'm looking for vba codes that will add a footer in a PDF from a macro in Excel.

    Thank you

    Eric

    You can access the headers/footers feature in Acrobat through the API, so you'll have to look for a different mechanism to add a footer to a document. I've done in the past is via the bridge VBA/JS ("JSObject") to call the Doc.addWatermarkFromText () method. See here for more information about the JavaScript method: http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/htm l/wwhelp.htm?context=Acrobat11_HTMLHelp&file=JS_API_AcroJS.89.448.html

    You will need to review the Acrobat SDK API documents to learn how to use the JSObject. This previous discussion forum contains information on the use of the Doc.addWatermarkFromText (fromVBA): How to add text to a PDF by using VBA Access?

  • Loading magazines from Excel

    Hello! Is it possible to load magazines from Excel in HFM? If so, I would be very grateful for general guidelines on how to do it.

    What we did several times in projects where the adjustment of data are produced by many models Excel sheet (for example when you need to convert local GAAP to IFRS with Excel) is to collect all the data adjustment calculated to a worksheet and then use a VBA macro to export this spreadsheet to +. JLF + file format and import this file to HFM.

    The leaf which collects the numbers and prepare them as remedies newspaper HFM can also be formatted for import under the FDM format if FDM is included in the solution. The advantage of the FDM is that you can use either the ledger accounts or accounts HFM in Excel calculations.

  • Speed up the transfer of data from Excel

    Hey!

    In my VI, I need the contents of 3 Excel files. The VI then takes in the filter criteria and uses them to filter all the data and produce graphs. Problem is that all 3 Excel files are more than 8000 lines deep and wide of 40 columns. She takes super long to get the data from one of these worksheets, nevermind 3.

    IM only starting this project, so I wanted to find the best way to address the issue.

    Is it possible to quickly transfer all the data from Excel to LabVIEW?

    If I read once and then writes it to a binary file for quick access, which would be better?

    I'm under that LabVIEW 2009 on Windows XP with report generation tool installed too.

  • Read data from Excel


    The first thing we do is to rename the library. 'LLB Manager' is a built-in LabVIEW tool for managing libraries. This can be confusing.

    What doesn't work exactly? What have you tried? You specify the range of start/stop and run the VI «Get the values from Excel» Example:

    You have 2 options:

    1. Call the VI for each cell you want to read.
    2. Read all values and indexes the based on getting those who are abridged.

    The latter will require more memory to read in all the values, but it will be faster.

  • Client server of executable activex LabVIEW project with excel vba

    Hi all

    I submitted a ticket to support nor on this problem, but my deadline for this project is very close, so I would like to ask the community to see if someone has encountered this problem before (I hope it's ok that I'm doing this!). I did a fair amount of forum-scouring, and I didn't know this even discussed problem.

    I built a labView project which is essentially in the material data and
    preforms various visualizations and transformations on the data. A bit of the
    Screws in this project are available by VBA Excel as a Server ActiveX with LabView and
    Excel as the customer - and it works! I recently discovered I would need to do a
    executable version of my project, so I'm now trying to figure out how to do the same thing
    with my executable file as the server instead of LabView. Here's a simplified version are
    My VBA code:

    Void Button1_Click()
    Dim lvapp As MyServer.Application
    Dim vi MyServer.VirtualInstrument

    Set lvapp = CreateObject ("MyServer.Application")
        
    VI the value is lvapp. GetVIReference ("Main.vi", "", True)
        
    Sheet1.cells (1, 1) = vi. GetControlValue ("Path")
        
    lvapp. Quit smoking
    End Sub

    I replaced LabView here with the name of my server. The code
    failure of the CreateObject method with the following error:

    Run-time error '13':
    Type mismatch

    Things, I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly:
    -L'application is configured as an ActiveX server in the build options
    -J' ran the VI once and close/re-open it just after each build before trying the
    worksheet
    -In excel, VBA method is configured to reference the type library of the server.
    -J' have LabView itself closed when I run the .exe

    Thank you

    Alex

    My versions and such:
    Software of NEITHER: LabVIEW version 2012
    OS: Windows 7

    It's interesting - I'll have to look into the issue. In the meantime, I found a solution.

    It's quite mysterious, but it seems that all I had to do was make sure you only the type library of the server executable has been referenced in VBA (no LabView or OLE type library) and declare the variable app as object, rather than MyServerName.Application. Honestly, I have no idea why this works, but it does. Also, I learned that you need to use the executable file paths, which are a little different than the paths of project files.

    Thank you

  • Control that supports copy - paste from Excel?

    Hello!

    Is there a control that supports the cell simple copy - paste from Excel?  I make a program and a large amount of data I can imagine my user copy - paste from Excel spreadsheets.

    The tables do not work and the Table controls do not work...

    I found an ActiveX control called "Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0."  It works, but I don't like the idea of my code to be subordinate to a particular version of Office being installed.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    You can use a node called App.Clipboard Read to get the data to the format delimited by tabs. You can then manipulate these string data in your table or a table.

  • Problem with convert to PDF from Excel without taking into account the layout and graphics/graphics

    I work with Excel files with graphics (clipart) and charts from the data on the worksheet. I use Excel 2007 and everything a year ago and a half downloaded the option "convert to PDF" on the Microsoft website. It has been working beautifully. In Excel, I've got a) set print area b) go to "adjust to a page" print preview can convert to PDF format and everything on the PDF page looked like exactly as it did in Excel print preview. It worked flawlessly...

    UNTIL...

    .. .the most recent "upgrades" have been installed. Now the menu reads, "Save as PDF or XPS" option and the PDF is a mess. Excel text comes out OK, but any graph or Excel charts will not resize itself, and are completely out of the page. For example, a chart that is supposed to be in the lower right corner must be resized in Excel, placed in the center of the worksheet, on the text and using this approach, resize, save a PDF routine about 50 times, and you can finally wrong PDF resembling the Excel worksheet. Of course, the Excel spreadsheet is totally messed up because you have to move the chart in the spreadsheet and it's a mess, not to mention a waste of time.

    I uninstalled the Converter Microsoft PDF and XPS, and then downloaded and installed the PDF Converter (alone). No luck. It's always a mess. My business is at a standstill until I get this sorted. Help, please!

    There is a fix for this.  It is described in a strange article entitled ' Description of the fix Excel 2007 package (Excel-x - none.msp, Graph-x - none.msp, Xlview-x - none.msp): August 25, 2009 "located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973402/

    Before installing, my PDF and XPS exporting from Excel had too much size images.  Now exports are correct, just like before the Service Pack.

    Unlike article, my patch was dated 13/10/2009, rather than 19/08/2009.
