Import data from Excel

Is it possible to import data from Excel into a pdf form.

I have some text on a form fields that need to be filled automatically.

Thanks in advance.

: )

To manually import from Excel, the simplest method is to first convert a spreadsheet to a tabs-delimited text file. The first line of the sheet must be the exact field names (case matters) corresponding to the data in the following lines.

In Acrobat 9, you can import a row of data from the file by selecting: forms > manage form data > import data...

and select the file, then one row of data in the file.

If you want to do it automatically or by any other non-manual method, post again and provide more information.

  • Import data from Excel in PDF with Acrobat Pro XI - is it possible? How?

    I need to be able to create a pdf file where certain information can be merged to an Excel spreadsheet in the pdf file so that our land use specialists can use tablets to fill the field. I also need to be able to create a field where the user can join or import a jpg file. Is it possible to do this with Acrobat Pro XI? Another program is necessary. I need to know the answers to my questions by January 28, 2016.

    Hi shannonr80675036,

    Yes, but you there are two things you need to do in Excel for this to work:

    Columns must be named the same as the field names in the PDF form. The names that you use in your PDF form, or you must change the names of fields in the PDF form so that they correspond to the column names in Excel, you can either match. In this example, I took the first approach and used the field names as my column headings:

    When you export your data to Excel file, you must select the "Tab Delimited Text" format. It is one of the export options in Excel (and other spread sheet applications) which is available when you select file > save as:

    Once you have your tabs-delimited text file, open your PDF form, and then select Tools > forms > more form Options and click Import:

    In the file dialog box, select this option to import a text file, browse to your exported text file and select it. In the next screen, you can then choose what import record, you can import only one record at a time:

    This will complete the PDF form with the selected values:

    That, for each record you have in your Excel file and save the PDF file under a new name.

    Kind regards

  • Automatically import data from excel file

    Hi guys,.

    Is it possible to make a batch / script that can extract data from an excel sheet? I have a spreadsheet with two columns, one with a photo ID and a column with the name of specific individuals (who is in the picture of course).

    So is it possible to make a script that does something like this:

    1. open an image with a unique number, for example. 0001.jpg

    2. search for 0001.jpg in the excel data and automatically remove the name of the excel worksheet data and paste this into a text layer in photoshop

    3. save this image with the same unique number in another directory

    I google it for decades, but unfortunately I can not find!

    Thank you

    Yes, it's called Variables.  Here are some tutorials:

  • The most effective way to import data from Excel in InDesign?

    Hi all

    I'm designing for a prospectus of college which includes 400 + courses list. For the moment, these lists exist as a huge Excel sheet with fields such as course type, course code, description, etc.

    I am familiar with Excel data import in InDesign and the tables/creation of table styles and other formatting, but the problem I have is that the data are in several columns by courses in the Excel worksheet, but will be in a single column per course with several lines in the InDesign document. I can't find a way to easily convert these columns in lines.

    Someone can help me with an effective way to get the data in the page layout without laborious copying and pasting or formatting?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    Import XLS data discussed a lot already. I don't want to create a table, but I need to import text for executives of related texts prepared in the entire document.

    Thank you!

    Maybe it's a job to merge data or a commercial catalogue of plugin, but the merged celss are going to be a real problem, I think. Exporting to a file text to Excel and palcing just can also work, with the same caveat about merged cells and the likely need to use find/replace to remove tabs.

  • How do I import data from Excel

    Here's a problem I don't know how to solve.

    I have a file, InDesign (a price list) in which a text column contains only the price.

    Because prices are constantly changing, and because they must be converted into other currencies I need to be able to link the numbers in an Excel file.

    Is this possible and what is the easiest way?

    For example, how can I specify the column in the Excel file that is linked?

    The vertical spacing of prices is not always equal - there are often empty lines.

    The Excel file needs to have the same white lines or is there an automatic way to InDesign to recognize the data and distribute it correctly?

    Here is a picture to show what I got. The price column is highlighted.

    This is how it works with links. Formatting returns to what exists in the worksheet unless you use the Table Styles (and I don't remember when they were introduced, but I'm not sure you have) in CS3. To avoid having to reformat, make the formatting in Excel.

  • Import data from a spreadsheet on the web to the Numbers worksheet

    How can I import data from a spreadsheet on the net in a Numbers spreadsheet, keeping its original format? It is not a problem when you use Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice spreadsheet and had no problem when I was with Appleworks6. When I try in number, however, the data which is along a line on the original worksheet comes to the bottom of the left column, which is completely useless.

    copy the line then pasted in numbers (command C and V command) has always worked well.

    The line of values must be copied from a continuous row of cells.

    If you provide a link to a spreadsheet, I can test it on my machine.

  • Import data from microsoft great Adobe acrobat XI

    Hello

    I am referring to an object of the adobe support page. German Version can be found here. A quote from the site are under discussion.

    I want to import data from an excel sheet in adobe pdf format. I created some forms that have the same names as the columns (to be more precise: the first line) in the excel worksheet. How I export data from excel?

    I exported the "tab-separated-Tex", but I found an error in adobe saying that the txt could not be imported. Can someone tell me how to export the data correctly?

    Is there another way?

    Thank you very much! Questions or remarks are welcome!

    Import form data

    In some stream work, particular scenarios present filled with forms as data only files and not as a complete PDF files. These files are not PDFs, but use a different format, such as FDF or XML. You can view the data provided by an individual recipient in the context of the PDF by opening the original file and importing the information contained in the data file.

    1. In Acrobat, open the PDF form in which you want to import data.
    2. Choose Tools > forms > clear form.
      Note: When you import data from another file into a PDF form, the imported data will replace any information that was previously included in individual form fields. However, if the imported data file contains one or more blank form fields, the import does not clear the original data.

    3. Choose Tools > forms > more form Options > manage form data > import data.
    4. In the Select file containing Form Data dialog, select a format in the file of Type corresponding to the data file to import. Locate and select the file, and then click Open.

      Note: Some formats are only available for specific types of PDF forms, depending on the application used to create the form, like Acrobat or Designer ES2. Data you're importing a text (.txt) file must be formatted in rows, delimited by tabs that form columns.

    I think it would be better for you to put a blank form and a sample data file so that we can test it and check why it does not work.
