How to add a file inside of an excel spreadsheet? - javascript

I'm currently using node-xlsx library to generate an excel file.
I'd like to add a file, specifically an image object, inside of the excel I'm creating, so that the user can just double click on the cell to open the image.
The alternative way would be to produce an excel and an external jpg file and put an hyperlink to it into the cell, but I think the first idea would be more user friendly...but I can't find a way to do that!
Can you help me finding out if it is even possible with node-xlsx or an equivalent library?

Export current rendered view/template as a PDF with Nativescript-VueJS

Using NativeScript + VueJS, I'm trying to find a way to take a dynamic template that's rendered based on props and route data, and tap a button to save the "view" as a PDF to the filesystem.
I found this tutorial here which gives me a start: https://medium.com/#kumarandena/pdf-generation-in-nativescript-using-javascript-libraries-864ecf4e9a3a
This generates a Base64 which you then copy to clipboard and open in a browser. In iOS for example if I choose to save the page as a file it's just unknown.pdf. So my goal is to reference an html element, like a div, and save all the contents exactly as they appear into a folder of my choice in the native file system.
There's little to find on this so wondering if someone has accomplished this.
I use domtoimage to convert any dom element to an image, and it works well. Then you can probably insert that image to a pdf using jsPDF or pdfMake.
I see in the pdfMake playground that you can insert an image with a dataurl format.

Display a PDF inside a frame created within another PDF using JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat

I want to display the selected pages of a PDF(existing in local machine) inside a window/frame of another PDF file(existing in local machine) in ADOBE Acrobat. How can i go about it . I searched online but i seem to not find any solution . If there is any other way to do this without using java script, is acceptable too.
You may have missed the keywords…
What is pretty common and easy to implement is importing the according page as an icon in a Button field.
The simplest approach would be using the buttonImportIcon() Acrobat JavaScript method (note the requirements for higher privileges). This method allows you to specify the file and the page to be imported.
If you're only doing this when you're authoring the PDF and it doesn't need to be dynamically created, you can simply add a button field and then set the icon property to the PDF you want to show. If you need to do it programmatically, Max's answer will also work.

Why can Excel grab content from a website, but I can't do the same with HTML or JS?

In the same way that I can get Excel to grab text from a website and copy it on a spreadsheet, I'd like to be able to do the same using HTML or JS code and paste it on my website. I have no relationship with the target website and can't modify it.
I'm looking to copy the text in a <td> element and show it in my HTML file.
All the answers to similar questions require the domain to have CORS, which it doesn't.
Maybe if somebody knows how Excel pulls it off...

Exporting image into excel in javascript

I want to export my html page into excell sheet which contains some svg charts and html tables. I searched a lot and couldn't find any solution in javascript. I could find a php solution in this. Only thing i found is a node module(here) which i think cannot be used in a web page js file.
Finally got a solution for inserting image into excel in Excelbuilder.js.
We can insert image by specifying cell or offset positions using this plugin. It works.

Because you've asked only to read the data you can simply export the spreadsheet to html and from there it'll work like any other webpage. Here are the instructions: http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/674-excel-export-to-html.html
Try this Javascript library to display data as excel in html you can pass your data in different formats as well, ex:- json, list, array etc.
