Microsoft Visual Basic: Runtime Error ‘1004’

    Runtime Error 1004 is something that affects Excel, specifically, and it's not exactly a PDF2XL problem. We try to develop the software to be able to circumvent the issue, but we are not able to correct it100% of the time. 

    The following information has been made available by Microsoft.


    Possible reasons for receiving this error:

    • When filtered data is copied and then pasted into MS Office Excel workbook
    • A range value is set programmatically with a collection of large string
    • Application or object defined error
    • Conflict with other programs while opening VBA Excel file
    • Corrupt desktop icon for MS Excel

    Solutions:

    • Solution 1
      • Make sure the security is set in Excel by going to Tools > Macro > Security and selecting the “Trusted Publishers” tab. 
      • Place a checkmark next to “Trust Access to Visual Basic Project”. (steps may vary slightly from one Excel version to another)
    • Solution 2
      • Stop all the programs that are running currently through Task manager
      • Go the start menu and you will find control panel over there
      • Locate Add/ remove programs
      • Look for ‘Microsoft Works’ and remove it
    • Solution 3
      • Right click on the start menu
      • Access Windows Explorer
      • Open the directory – C:\Program Files\MSOffice\Office\XLSTART
      • Find and  delete the file “GWXL97.XLA”
      • Close explorer and open Excel

    If all the above steps fail, you can try reinstalling your Excel program.
