Please,

Any samples ??

Like you could do by hand with
CTRL+A
CTRL+C

and then in Notepad
CTRL+V ???

To automate Jack's suggestion in Fox:

KEYBOARD '{CTRL+A}'
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+C}'
RUN /N NOTEPAD
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+V}'

I just tried it, and it works... Best Regards,
Scott

Please let me know if this has helped

You may find (I don't have the setup to test) that after:
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+A}'
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+C}'

you may now have in VFP in the _CLIPTEXT varible, all the text from the PDF
