I need a way to convert my excel files to pdf that can have any no of rows. but the no of rows per each page is a constant and each page should have an image in the footer.
an example would be if i have 150 rows and the constants per page is 100 then i need to get a pdf file with two pages and each of these pages should have a footer image?
any idea how I can go about the same. I am thinking about writing a small program for the same. But I need suggestion regarding which tool to use for the conversion depending on the ease of use.
I am also thinking about maintaining a constants file that feeds in the required details. like no of rows, footer image location, file location etc.
Thanks. waiting for a reply.
Edit:
Well guys I have 1000 of such files and I cant possibly open each one of these files and add footer etc and saving it as pdf. I need to automate this.
Try the PDF Converter Services. It provides a web services based interface to carry out the conversion. You can also specify a watermark to add an image to the footer of each page.

I am very new to all of this so please bare with me.
I have a OneNote Notebook with several Sections each containing hundreds of pages.
I need to retrieve all the content of the pages (while keeping the structure of the page titles / section titles) and end up with that content in a somewhat usable state in Excel. Of course, doing so manually will take me weeks. That's why I'm looking for an automated/semi-automated approach.
Is there a way to do that? What do I need to look into? I haven't found an answer on the interned but I guess I may need to use the OneNote API? Maybe find a way to export the OneNote content into .csv to then process it in Excel? Maybe the OneNote content can be retrieved directly by a macro in Excel?
What would you look into to achieve my goal?
Thank you for reading.
The OneNote API/Graph API can get sections and pages
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks/{id}/sections
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/sections/{id}/pages$count=true&$top=100
There may be a limitation to the number of pages that can be accessed by the API (recently introduced?). Then a further call to get individual page content:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/pages/{id}/content[?includeIDs=true]
An alternative may be to use this rust OneNote notebook parser - creates html files.
Short background - I'm exporting an Excel file using Classic ASP, in which I generate a table which is originated at an MS SQL database.
One of the columns I retrieve holds paths to images I have on my server. I use the following code to define an "Excel-targeted" response:
Response.ContentType="Application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=""Sales_Report-"& Month(Date())&"-"& Day(Date())&"-"& Year(Date()) &"-"& ".xls"""
The problem - I've been googling for a solution and came to realize (correct me if I'm wrong here) that embedding it as "contents" of a single page is impossible.
However, it is possible to either placing the image in one cell's remark (I'd like to avoid that), or alternatively just set the image as a cell's background.
Important note - my goal is to have the images sort and filter with the rest of the row they're located in. I did manage to place the images exactly where they should be to begin with, but they just float as regular images in the spreadsheet.
I'm using plain HTML elements and not XML - but an XML solution (if exists) would also be awesome.
Thanks.
OK, so after some research I've come to discover the research I was lacking to begin with. It obviously depends on the MS Excel version which eventually opens the generated file.
Generating XLS files with advanced cell settings is quite doable and intuitive when one acquires better understanding of the XML structures which help generating files through the code, with either Classic ASP & ASP.NET code behind.
I need to use PDF in a way similar to ZIP/RAR. To hold many images (ancient tibetan buddist literature), ideally 60000. But splitting in 10-100 volumes is OK.
Anything can be used for packing, but for unpacking we need Node.js. Because same PDF file must be served on web. But some users will need to use whole PDF.
So the question is, what node module I can use to read any single arbitrary image from huge PDF? Example would really help.
Every image is a single page. (Or in otherwords every page is single image)
We have been using https://github.com/mirkokiefer/Node-Magick for this....
But the pngs we get out sometimes are fairly low quality..
Have anybody ever tried to create thumbnails/previews of MS Office files? I do not mean extract saved preview images inside the file, but actually create them. Would this even be doable?
Could one print to an image/pdf directly in code?
In a general VB/C# application, add the MSword/MSexcel component and call the component to open the file you want. Then call one of the print functions with the parameters corresponding to first page etc.

We are interested in trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into our Blog.
A sample of the Excel spreadsheet that we generate each day and want to export into our Blog is located at:
http://www.wallstreetsignals.com/WhatsWorking.html
Our Blog is located at:
http://whatsworkinginthestockmarket.blogspot.com/
We are interested in a program or method that would allow us to just import the Excel spreadsheet into our Blog instead of having to hand input all the data, which is what we are doing now.
Thank you for your thoughts and the cost to have you help accomplish our goal.

Well, outside of creating a program (which is possible, using PHP, Perl, Java, etc and either an excel input module or converting to CSV or XML and processing that)...
Have you considered using Google Documents or another online spreadsheet software? It's easy to import an excel spreadsheet, and then embed the spreadsheet in the blog post or webpage. Then if you need to change it, modify the google document spreadsheet and the changes are rendered on the webpage or blog post immediately.

The easiest thing might be to use Google Docs. Upload your spreadsheet, then publish from Google Docs to your blog. See this article.
Can your blog consume XML? You can set up an XML Schema in Excel 2007 and just export it to an XML file. You would need to write an XSLT.
I also have a macro that will write out XML to a file... can upload that if it would help...
If your spreadsheet is generated by a macro, you could just modify a macro to generate html or some other sort of blog markup ready for copy and paste.
Excel can save as HTML, which you could then strip the metadata from and use in your website. Unfortunately the HTML that it generates is very bloated. If you do not mind client lock-in, you could consider embedding the XLS file directly on your website, and having your viewers use the IE embedded excel viewer.
If you can use ASP.NET you could use SpreadsheetGear for .NET to load an Excel workbook, grab values, formatted values or even images to display on a web page. There are live ASP.NET samples with source if you want to check it out.
