Script To Automatically Hyperlink Pdfs
Jan 27, 2010
I did find something related
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1167426
, but as my knowledge in VB very limited I'm unable to make the neccessary modifications to fit my case.
the case:
the warehouse I'm working on is tracked by a big and messy excel file that includes details about various components.
the warehouse is virtually represented by folders that represent a drawer, each drawer includes 0-10 components's dateasheets in pdf file format.
I'm looking for a script that would hyperlink the specific pdf to each component to a certain column that includes the component's name.
there's another column in the excel that supplies in which drawer the component resides as you can see:
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/7830/blablaf.jpg
You can also see how the drawers are represented virtually by folders with datesheets inside
components 20-29 all reside in drawer 20.
its worth noting that sometimes the whole drawer is empty and so both the column in excel and the folder will be aswell.
the script should(I assume) check the pdf's filename in the drawer( mostly the files's name look like in the screenshot), but sometimes the name is only the component's name,so if there is no drawer number before the component's name it would still know how to identify and hyperlink the pdf.

I have a excel spreadsheet that on sheet 1 has a list of about 130 numbers. Each of these numbers is linked to a specific sheet within the workbook. What im trying to do is write a macro that once i do a FIND it will find the number typed in the find box, once it finds that number on sheet 1, it will automatically select that hyperlink and take me the the correct sheet.
Right now the macro will find the number but I cant get it to auto select the hyperlinkand take me to the correct sheet.

Is there a way that under "Type the Cell Reference" that you can make it automatically change to the cell the hyperlink is on?
The reason why i ask this is because I have hyperlinks linking to there current cell but once i delete a row above that... the cell refernece doesnt change therefore changing the cell reference to the cell above it

I want to be able to create a hyperlink in a cell that is the result of a simple reference formula. i.e. if cell A1 on worksheet A is a formula "='SheetB"!A1", can I create a hyperlink automatically from SheetA Cell A1 to 'SheetB'!A1?
I would like for the hyperlink to be is cell A1, so I beleive that would be a macro / VBA solution.
Also, is there a formula solution that could go in B1 "=hyperlink(A1)", where the formula will then recognize the referenced cell (rather that the formula result) and hyperlink to SheetB:A1?

In the code below you'll notice the SubAddress as "Sheet4!B1".
Range("B1").Select
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).SubAddress = "Sheet4!B1"
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
In Range B1 (Sheet1 in this case, just not on sheet4), I have Validation set up to allow the user to click on the required name of a client selected from a list.
I want this constantly changing value of B1, once selected, to become the value currently shown as Sheet4 of the SubAddress above.
e.g., if B1 is Harry, the SubAddress should read:
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).SubAddress = "Harry!B1"
There will be a sheet named Harry and this following of the link must go to B1 on the sheet named Harry (or whatever sheet's name appears in Sheet1, Cell B1).

I have an excel file that is used to record information about particular projects. We need to record dates related to these events and these are stored on separate worksheets. These use a key of sorts, where the unique references are replicated on all worksheets.
I have set up the data sheet to generate the unique identifier and the hyperlinks to the Received! and Sent! worksheets automatically as new unique references are added to the Data! worksheet.
What I would like is a VBA code to populate hyperlinks in the Received! and Sent! worksheets in column B, to link back to the Data! worksheet unique reference.
I had used formulas in the past, but the Data! worksheet is massive. I've needed to write hundreds of hyperlink formulas referencing blank spaces in the Data! sheet in anticipation of new projects. It would be better if they were populated as the sheet expanded.

I have an excel spreadsheet with a column for hyperlinks. Any information added into that column needs to be a hyperlink. How can I format the entire column so that when a user cuts and pastes the text will automatically turn into a hyperlink?

I use the following to try to access a secure website ( https )
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=Hyperlink, NewWindow:=False
Where hyperlink is a string that is valid. ( i tested by doing a cut and paste to the browser and it works ! ) When i launch the macro, it always bring me to the login screen. But if i do a cut and paste, it will bring me direct to the content i want.

I have a large number (couple of hundred) pdf's in a folder for electrical test certificates. The pdf's are in the format 54 Pike Drive.pdf etc. and have the date modified.
Ideally, as well as the address I would like the date modified as this is pretty close to the date of the certificate so will suffice.
Failing the date, just the addresses will do which need to go on separate rows in Excel.
I've tried copying and pasting the files but to no avail.

I've just created a spreadsheet that we will be using as a project review form. In this spreadsheet I have multiple rows of merged cells, column D to N, for comments. I need these comment areas, merged rows, to autofit whatever is cut and pasted or typed into them.
The first problem is cutting and pasting from a pdf. All of the documents we received for the projects we bid are in pdf format. We often cut and paste from those documents into an older version of our review sheet that was built in Word. Trying to cut and paste the same information into Excel ends up in failure. Is there a way that this can be done without jumping through hoops?
The second problem I’m running into is when I cut and paste into a comment area I get the typical Excel error message that the information being pasted does not fit the area it is being pasted into. It there a workaround for this?
My third problem is autofitting the pasted information into the merged cells. I’ve seen some VBA and tried a couple but they don’t work automatically when the comments area is filled. How can I do this? I don’t know VBA. I'm using MS Office 2003

I'm working on a mac and have a macro that will go through all the sheets in my workbook and save them as PDFs to a specific location.
Sub CreatePDF()
For sh = 19 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(sh).ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"/Users/mikemahoney/Desktop/Publisher Payables/Statements/June 2014" & Sheets(sh).Name & "June 2014 Revenue Share Statement" & ".pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
Next
End Sub
The part in bold is obviously where I am saving the PDFs but it is also being included in the naming of the file. Need replacing the red text in the naming of the file with the contents of cell B9? I would still like to save the PDF to "/Users/mikemahoney/Desktop/Publisher Payables/Statements/June 2014" I just don't want the file-path to be included in the name of the file.
Also, this code seems to run into errors if a sheet is hidden, hence starting at sheet 19. Any way to tweak this code to skip over hidden sheets?

I have an Excel file with multiple sheets (over 100). I want to save them each as an individual PDF, with different (but similar format) names.
As an example, I want each PDF to be be called "Date Name" (i.e. "1-8-2014 Sarah", and next one will be "1-8-2014 Beth", etc.)
Is there a way to do this all at once, instead of my having to manually save each one? Is there a way for me to set it so that the title lists the date and then, for example, whatever is listed in A1 (which will be the name)?
One other question is that because I get this report from someone else who generates it, the way the file is formatted on my computer is that the print area is set at too small, so if I convert immediately to PDF, everything gets messed up. I have to manually make the print area bigger so that the PDF version encompasses everything on one page. Right now I've been manually adjusting the print area page by page - any way to do this all at once?

I have the following macro that exports pdf's for every value in a validation list. Currently it's setup where I have included each value in the macro. This is fine with just a few values but I am about to add 900.
My question is, is there a way to write the macro so it exports a pdf for every value within a dropdown list until it hits a null value instead of what I have below so i don't have to repeat everything for every value in the list?
Here is what i currently have.
Sub Export_MarketSpecific()
'
' Export_MarketSpecific Macro
'
'
Sheets("Home Page").Select
Sheets("MOA-Page 1").Visible = True
Sheets("MOA-Page 1").Select
Sheets("MOA-Page 2").Visible = True
Sheets("MOA-Page 1").Select
Range("D2").Value = Range(Range("D2").Validation.Formula1)(2).Value
[Code] ..........

I am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet. What I would like to do is instead of copying the name into this new sheet copy a hyperlink that I have created to the company's website for that event.
I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.

I am trying to do is have a hyperlink go to another sheet after searching the second sheet for the same value. I have a sheet labeled "IQI" which has the total number of cases for a certain condition. I have another sheet labeled "IQI Cases" which lists out each case individually.
I want to be able to click on the Condidion in the IQI sheet and have that take me to that specific spot in the IQI Cases sheet where the cases for that condition begin.
Right now I just have a simple hyperlink to a range of cells. But each month a report is generated and the range will be different and I have to go and change the range each time. So I guess I want a hyperlink and a lookup function combination.
I dont know if this would be a Macro or a formula.

I am trying to use hyperlinks to navigate documents. I created a html document with excel and used hyperlinks to PDF documents.
At first the hyperlinks worked fine, opening the PDF software and in turn the PDF document.
Now when i click the hyperlink in Internet Explorer for the PDF document to open, it brings me to a blank HTML document.
In other words, the hyperlinks to the PDF's no longer open the PDF software and document.

Imagine if the word below was a hyperlink to a webpage somewhere;
House
I would like to know how to get excel to look at this paticular page and return that one word to a cell, so in this example, I would like cell A1 to to contain the word house.
I do not need any information about where the link is referring to, I already have this information.
All I need is for excel to look at this link and tell me what it is called.

I'm having a problem getting a hyperlink to work when adding it to a vlookup. The vlookup is looking at a page number and returning the named drawing from an Auto Desk Inventor File. I'm trying to get the returned drawing name to become a hyperlink to open the drawing. I would rather have this added to the formula so if a page number ever changes the hyperlink will change to the correct drawing also. Here is what I have so far but it is just returning an error of " cannot open the specified file". =HYPERLINK(IF(E5="","",(VLOOKUP(E5,'Inventor Import'!$A$2:$E$200,5,FALSE))))

"A12" says "Click for new line". I want that to be a hyperlink so if someone clicks it, it will automatically take you to a fresh new line to input there information.
Row 14 and above is a frozen pane.
Anything from row 15 below will contain data.
I could have 1,232 rows and the users who are using this spreadsheet probably won't fancy scrolling down for ages to find a new row to enter the information...

I have just been told that one of our servers is being replaced this weekend. I have thousands of hyperlinks in excel docs that reference this server. Other than manually reestablishing the links one by one to the new server, is there a way to do some kind of global change to replace the old server name with the new server name?
These are not hyperlink formulas, but rather Insert>>Hyperlink.
Or, is there a way to convert these hyperlinks to hyperlink formulas that would omit reference to the server and thus not be broken during the conversion?
Grasping at straws because I cannot envision having to relink these one by one.

Suppose I have and excel workbook with 100 sheets and I want to click from one sheet to another. I created a table of all the sheets and hyperlinked the sheets then copy/pasted the table into each worksheet but that seems primitive. What if I have to revise the table? I will have to do it hundred times !
Is there a smart way to accomplish this using one smart master table that I can copy and paste into each sheet or somehting similar?

I am trying to hyperlink each single image to its respective image which is located on my usb key all in one go (I don't want to hyperlink one at a time as it would take me for ages). Is there an easy way to do that?
