However, the workaround for this problem is quite easy. The function will work again. Category: Office Tips. Christos Samaras. Warm Regards, Christos. Thank you for your contribution to this post. Christos, I tried changing the preference but still have the same problem. Text, " ", "" , vbCr, "" ' Add ". Thank you. Warm Regards to both, Christos. I hope this is possible to identify these issues by overlapping all pages of the document to one page so that we will get to know if there are any such instances in the file.
If you are interested in a professional solution, feel free to get in touch with me via email. First of all, thanks for this post.
I have written a small app using parts of your example. Strange thing is other elements of the link with Acrobat are working fine, for example part1Document. Any ideas? Thanks for the reply! Turns out the problem was with the number of pages: I had set the first argument of InsertPages to 2 and the Part1Document on the second computer only had 1 page… kind of a silly mistake I guess. Thanks again for this post and for your help.
IThe vbscript example is useful as well by the way! Hi, I used your code and it did what I want, but for two files as I am using your code as a sub and calling it in another sub.. I gave it two input for Part1Document and Part2Document.. My question is what if I wanted to make the input dynamic and add as many pdfs I want to without having to open each one by hard coding it? Your code was a great help to get me started but my code is extremely slow merging just two files at a time.
Is there a way to merge a huge amount of PDF files faster? I have this vision in my head of a pyramid structure. On the first level, file1 merge with file2, file3 merge with file4, etc.
In general, automating Acrobat via VBA is fairly slow. Acrobat is mainly an application that is designed for a user to sit in front of the screen, pushing buttons. For a server like environment e. Thanks for the quick reply. For other environments, I might use iText. Hi Karl, Could you please advise me my concern?
I have a pdf file with secured property without password. Hi, I am very new to the VBA coding, the very first line in your code is giving me an error. Thanks in advance for your help! You need to add a reference to the Acrobat type library to you project.
I did describe in my tutorial how to do that. Can you help me? Mark, you cannot cross interfaces, which means you cannot use API functions from the plug-in interface in the IAC environment. Thanks for the valuable information you publish here on your blog. I hope you can help me so I can take my next step forward to control adobe files out of my excel application.
This code works excelent but the file has to be closed and opened each time. The following script assumes that there are there files A. Hi I have been very useful code. But with the translator, I will try to ask a question. As he could from access VBA insert in pdf a text box or what you have in memory the clipboard, and always on the first page. Thank you very much. A greeting.
Miguel, if you can access the clipboard contents via VBA, then you can create a text annotation with the that information. Take a look at the Doc. One question, what if I have more than 2 pdfs I am combining? I am not great at VBA code and am having trouble with this.
Hi Karl, when I export a pdf to excel, the picture in the document is not exported. It is posible to export with the picture? Or, how do I select a picture in a pdf and paste it in excel with vba. It is the only picture in the document. There are not many controls that specify how the PDF should be converted to Excel. You cannot select and then copy and paste with VBA.
Dim AcrApp As Acrobat. Where would the filenames come from? Are you planning on concatenating different PDF files into one, and then having a bookmark that brings you to the first page of each document? GetJSObject Jso. In the PDF Reference 1. Michele, I am sorry, but debugging your code is a bit outside of the scope of what I can do for free on my blog.
If you need my professional help, feel free to get in touch with me via email. Hi Karl, found your blog while searching for a solution to check the orientation of the pages into a pdf-file. If i am opening the original file on screen some pages are in Orientation Landscape, some Portrait. The result is always the same, it is Zero. Am i wrong? Here are the relevant parts of my code or the parts i hope they are relevant. Dim AcroApp As Acrobat. Open oFile. AcquirePage i Debug.
GetRotate Next i. Thank you in advance and of course thanks a lot for all the other informations on your page. And sorry for my lousy english. A landscape page does not necessarily have a rotation applied to it. The rotation property is only applied to the page content, so if the page content does not have to be rotated, you will not find the rotation flag set to anything but 0.
To make matters even more confusing, even with a portrait page, it is possible to see a page rotation applied. You will need to get the page size, and then compare width and height, and if the page width is greater than the height, you are looking at a landscape page. Thank you so much, Karl Heinz. I will try to read out the pagesize as you described it.
GetSize Debug. Markus, glad that you figured it out. I was just about to ask you about how you are trying to get the page size. I have the Acrobat I have not found a solution and hoping you can help me.

You may want to remove the lines that start Acrobat from our code. Once you have the reference to the Acrobat application, you can then open the document via the normal API calls. Revathi, the Acrobat reference should be in the list of references if you have Adobe Acrobat installed. It will not be there if all you have is the free Adobe Reader. In your article, these 3 code pieces are misplaced: …. We also need an integer object to store the number of pages in the first document.
Nothing special here. And after a lot of thinking…. I have a routine job that I did everyday and I want it to be executed automatically.
Thanks a lot for the useful tutorial. Do you have a hint how to proceed by any chance? The excel file contains links to web pages that I want to also be active in the PDF file. GetCurrentConversionSettings stng stng. It all works nicely, except for the export of the links. Some of the parameters I set must be wrong I assume. When I execute my VBA script, the link is not included in the PDF file, and my excel sheet gets modified: a text box is added around my cell with the link?!?
Or do I need a special SDK license. Hi Karl, Thank you very much for the tips. I tryed to use it in Access but I can not load the library reference. I use Access , and I have the Adobe Acrobat software installed. Do you know how can I use it in Access? Thanks a lot. I have about 1, pdf files and each file has about 50 pages. The pdf file contains Contract Name.
I want the file to print every time it finds a new contract name. It is usually 1 contract per page, but some contract may have up to 3 pages could be more but that is what I found so far. How can i do this? Is there a clever way of making that work? Do While Ie. I automating a task at work that will save some time. Seems simple enough but for some reason the code I have to cause IE to wait unil ready doesnt seem to work in all cases. Im using : 'wait until the page loads Do While ie. Busy Or ie.
Any other ideas as to how to make IE wait until the page is completely ready? I wondered about possibly checking the.
Thanks, Scott. Hey guys, I'm trying to write a macro which prints to PDF and saves the file name as the contents of a cell. I've been looking through all the posts currently on this forum to get something working. Range 'Z1'. I want the macro to automatically name the file with the contents of cell Z1. I then want it to then automatically press enter.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Any help would be much appreciated! I have an excel file sitting in a shared network folder. I only want one user to be able to make changes at a time any other users would get a read-only. For some reason it currently does not do this, and I have multiple users with the same doc open. I'm concerned that changes will get over-written when 2 people are saving their changes.
Can anyone help me with the settings for this. I have a file that became too big due to phantom bloat, unused range saved by Excel and all that kind of reasons. Thank to previous posts on that board tackling that issue, I was able to find how to proceed to reduce the file back to its normal size. But I did so in a beta file test file. The real file has become so big MB! The file contains archive info that we do not have anywhere else. Is there anyway then to open the file or to reduce its size without opening it through magics I just honestly don't know how to retrieve that info before deleting that file.
Thank you very much for your help. I have searched and read all the help files. I find the properties of an object, I see how I can 'lock', 'size and move with cells' or 'not move with cells'. No matter what I select, the object moves off the screen, when the user, scrolls to the right of the spreadsheet. Is there a way to lock the position, let's say , in the upper right corner and have it stay there?
This would be quite useful for an EXIT button, that I have created, that will close the program without saving it's a read-only file. Thanks to all the wonderful people here that have been so helpful and give us their valuable insight and time. I have an excel form, I want my users to be able to open the form, fill in appropriate data, then click the save button. When the button is clicked, the data in the form should be saved to a new file and then the original form should be reset clear all values for a new set of data entry.
When the data is saved, I want the new excel sheet to be saved to a location specified within the macro so the user doesn't have any options and I want the title of the new file to be the value of one of the cells. I'm new to macros and would appreciate any help this board can offer. Hi there, I have a piece of code called ConvertDates that formats data contained on 6 worksheets. The 6 data sheets all contain a data connection to a website of foreign exchange tables.
What I want is for my code to execute as soon as the data connection refresh has finished. When I use the statement Code: The code executes the macro whilst the refresh is still happening, thereby screwing up my results. I don't really want to use a timed wait, because the refresh speed is going to vary from user to user. Is there some way I can tell excel to wait till the refresh has finished and then execute the code?
