I am Trial User of Adobe Acrobat Pro. I am buying this app to do the following daily task: Working from either a Print Screen of a Windows 10 window, or an iPhone picture of the same, I want to go through the conversion process which will put the data into a new Excel file. The image is arranged in rows and columns which resemble a CSV file. So far I am getting gibberish. Thank you for your help. Palmer Hinsdale

Hi Palmer,

Trying to cal your number but there were no answer.

Converting JPG photos to csv will be an invalid conversion.

Inserting the Jpg photos to an excel or CSV file would be the best method.

Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions.

Hello-I run Windows 10 on a Dell Computer. Can you please type out a list of the steps that I should use, 1,2,3,etc.

Email is the best means of communication because I live too far from the VZ tower and my reception is very poor.

Thank you. Palmer

I have two possible means to obtain the original image: 1) I can use the Print Screen, or 2) I can use the camera on my Iphone 6plus. The Print Screen images look better because it is very difficult to align the camera lens squarely with the monitor screen.  Perhaps that is a source of difficulty.

Ok the final product of your project you trying to achieve.

Will it be a Acrobat file which is PDF file?

Or

Will it be an excel file which is CSV or xls file?

also we can do screen sharing if you have internet connection on where you are.

Ferdinand--My overall objective is to take a picture of a Windows 10 window on a stock market screen at an instant during the daily stock market and to analysis the data in Excel. I bought the Adobe Acrobat because I read that it could use its PDF/OCR features to capture the data and put it into a working Excel spreadsheet. I just want to learn the several steps in the process to achieve that objective.  Thanks. Palmer.

Technicaly if your obejective is to insert the image to an excel sheet. You wont need the Adobe Acrobat pro.

Press Prntscreen on your keyboard on any instance you need to to make a capture.

then open Your excel program (Microsoft excel)

Click on a cell then Press CRTL V on your keyboard and it will automatically move the photo to that cell.

My objective is not to have the picture in ONE cell in the spreadsheet. Suppose the picture has 20 stocks with identifiers and a price for each stock. When I get all of those data into Excel then I want to do financial analysis on the prices. Furthermore, I want to capture the data each day and perform analyses that reflect the changes over time. In other words the capture of each day will build up to a history of the changes over several days and eventually months and years.

Ok Isee what you mean.

First part is to make the PDF with your image in it.

Are you able to do Saving your print screen to adobe and saving it as a pdf file?

Good morning Ferdinand. I am near San Francisco. I get up early because of the market.

Yes Step 1 is to convert the Print Screen image into a PDF. I can do that. What is Step 2?   BTW I lived on Preston Road in Dallas during the 1980s.  Thanks. Palmer

Ok,

Step 2 is converting the PDF and Osing OCR
Im not sure if OCR will be a feature available for Trial versions.
Also OCR is not 100% and may or may not be able to pickup table lines and columns.

Open The PDF file you made.

Click on the Edit PDF on the right side "this will convert the PDF to Edit mode"

Once in edit mode. check if the image are converted to workable text by eithier clicking on the text or numbers on the image and see if the blinking cursor will folow and lets you edit the numbers.

Let me know if this happen and We'll go to the last step.
