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?

Only if the data is tabular. And if it is, then it'd be quicker to go straight from PDF to Access anyway using a script. Heck, PHP could do it.

Clarification
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?

Thanks Weblord, I appreciate it.
