Hi Matthew,

Initially, I was seeking to import data from PDF to MS Access database but
this will not be the case.

What I am seeking to have done is to take data from a word document and have it imported into an MS Access database that will then present the data after a search query is done.

Would you like for me to send you the word document containing the data in
an email attachment from your website?

dpari: Databases organize data using tables, or some type of format that clearly separates values and organizes them into columns and rows (e.g. CSV or Spreadsheet software) -- PDF documents are usually not in this format, so it isn't really practical to convert the text in them into a database.

Unless, of course, the PDF has the data organized in some way that would fit into a "table" or "database". Is there a particular PDF you need converted, or do you mean just in general?

Thanks Weblord, I appreciate it.
