In 2020 the first wave of updates, just to be again a heavyweight scene, file system conversion. After the catalyst has Excel, no longer need to frequently find various web online version of the conversion operation everywhere, data security is very important, do not easily upload your files to the Internet, the day the accident, and no one pathetic!
Doing the most valuable file conversion conversion conversion rather than to
File conversion is indeed a very just to be functional, the breeding ground for a large number of web pages online conversion applications, of course, there are many nature of the charges, as there is also free as file size limitations or conversion page limit functional limitations.
Because of no hard data management capabilities, a lot of this to do structured storage in the Excel data, are dispersed stored in pdf, word, or even ppt, recovery of these data reprocessing, there is a very just need to scene .
Similarly, personnel exchanges in the process, in order to protect and facilitate access to documents, but also spawned a large number of pdf version of the file data. pdf file, its fatal weakness that has lost our daily structured information in a document, such as a secondary title, text, images, tables and so on. Unless a very professional Adobe software to do some restoration. Also the biggest pain point is the ability to edit virtually zero.
In some systems exported report file may have appeared in pdf format of the data, it is easy to program output, but the output is very little room for reprocessing.
So convert pdf file, file conversion can be said just to be in just to be, in order to get re-edit the data, the most important, do not let the operating manual again and again to copy and paste.
Excel catalyst advocated to solve the problem at the source, as the use of Excel to organize data, storing data sources, maximum likelihood training to teach front-line staff to do this work, for a variety of other exhibits, print, view demand It can be flexibly applied on a file pdf, word, ppt, html and other needs of different scenarios. Data sources is fundamental, be sure to manage their data source.
Various files to save real conversion issues
Of course, the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, operation of enterprises, the production of large amounts of data and non-standard non-standard way of storing data, but also need to have some tools feature to remedy it.
Excel catalyst also has made several additions to its, let the data conversion process smoother, more importantly, after the conversion, which can easily be re-collected again from the data necessary for secondary processing and finishing.
Implement specific functions are summarized as follows
Better to find menu mode, use the search.
A, Pdf turn Word features
This feature is very data document types just need only the data back to the Word, there is room to re-edit. This feature uses native features of Word, and Word2013 in later versions, you can open pdf files directly in Word, Excel catalyst in the scene, only made a batch processing operations, one-time process multiple Word documents.
Two, pdf turn jpg, extract text, images, etc.
This conversion has been achieved in the 2019 feature, you can easily complete information pdf text, images, information extraction and pdf picture of the protection operation. But there may still not be the best way, in particular the need to obtain structured information in a pdf file on the re-processing of data after extracting some form class data acquisition capability is weak.
Three, Word Excel's xlsx format switch
This feature will be Benpian a highlight function, although to implement, very much, but after a very rough blasting will select all data from a Word document, and then paste it into Excel. Why is it such an important part of the flattering?
Initially want to do this conversion was motivated, because the front pdf extract table information is defective, the limited recognition rate, to get the pdf form information used in Excel, think of roundabout way is to convert it into Word, and through the Word for the middle of the bridge, Word, there are forms of structured information can be easily extracted.
Later met Doc2Xls gadget at a friend's number of tweets in public, was developed by the Excel add-in, as shown below.
Now that you know the pages and found the principle of its implementation, similar logic worked on before I report the structure of the data source converts standard data source, thinking qualitatively toward implementation of this author to think, until one day a Emmanuel appears directly copied and pasted into a Word document Excel document, the author of this function in line with the most expectations.
Doc2xls tool, also iterative for several years, but the overall look back, function is very thin, can only handle one relationship of the data structure (may not fully understand the depth of learning, there is something wrong, please correct me).
In Excel catalyst reporting structure of the data source converts standard data source function, the effect achieved is to meet the many data sources, but also the most common orders, invoices, purchase orders and other styles, realistic business scenarios.
由Word直接转为Excel，数据到了Excel环境，在Excel催化剂过往的大量文本处理、格式处理、数据转换的功能支持下，比起Doc2Xls很机械地作一些简单配置，必然要通用强大得多。
Excel环境下采集指定内容及转换的功能大概会有以下几个大的功能支持，日后有好的示例将通过视频的方式给大家展示其强大及灵活之处。
同样地配合之前所提到的场景，对Word中的表格数据，进行额外的提取操作，方便数据更合理地被Excel环境所识别和提取到。一个表格占用一个工作表，若是规范性的文档，表格结构一致，位置顺序一致，将非常方便将Word的数据输出到Excel中重新利用。
四、Word转Pdf功能
此功能个人理解，仅仅用于数据保护和数据查阅需要，可能的场景只是手中大量的Word文档，想一次性转换为Pdf格式，Word的原生功能可以轻松对Word文档转Pdf，只是一次只转换一个文档，本功能也只是调用Word的转换接口，进行循环批量操作而已。
五、PPT转Pdf功能
和第四点完全一致的场景，功能实现也没特别之处，仍然是内部原生功能即可完成。
六、Word转Html
基于前期的网页采集功能的开发，将Word转换为Html，就比较有场景需求了，若在前面第3点上直接转Xlsx文件，不能很好地拿到想要的数据（会丢失一些格式、标题、层级等信息或字段名和内容不分离等问题），将其转换为Html，再使用xPath的提取方式来重新提取，未尝不是一个非常好的方式，类似使用网页采集的原理，采集一些结构化的数据。
同时另一刚需场景为，可以轻松地提取到Word里面的图片，转换成Html后，图片将会在一个文件夹中存放，更多的技能是如何将这些文件夹里的无意义的命名图片，重新快速地进行筛选，拿到自己最终所需的图片子集。
在此给出大概的操作步骤及用到的功能：
- 使用文件遍历功能，将图片信息汇总到Excel表中
- 用xPath找出原始图片的清单（转换html后，会出现两套图，一个为缩略图一个为原图）。
- 使用插入图片的方式，重新将图片插入到Excel中，手动判断图片所属及对其手动在对应行单元格上重命名。
- 使用批量重命名、批量移动图片等方式，最终将原来无意义名字图片命名后转移到最终所需的文件夹中存放。
七、Excel转Pdf功能
Excel文件结构，类似数据库结构，有多个工作表，所以更科学的转换方式是按指定工作表转换，此功能也在过往的功能中得以实现，详见文章：
结语
源头没摆正，最终衍生出大量稀奇古怪的各种神操作，当然文件转换过程，也必然很大原因归咎于没有规范科学的数据管理，没有树立科学的数据管理方法论，最终只能是无穷无尽地各种问题各种低效。
Excel催化剂倡导，从源头中处理，正确地理解好数据源与报表的两者关系，并在实际工作中加以应用，将减少非常多这些文件转换的工作。
还是那句话，你足够优秀，但你不能阻碍你的队友拖你大大的后腿，此篇一系列的转换功能，相信每个人都有不同程度的使用机会。
文字太苍白，后续有机会将以视频的方式给大家演示其威力所在。欢迎提供脱敏的原始示例数据，以便更有针对性地讲解。
