Does anyone know if there is a way to Rip text from a pdf into a database table?

I have a phone book with hundreds of contacts in my industry but its a pdf, I would like to have it in Access.

Thanks a lot

Well, if you have Adobe Acrobat you have a text selection tool you might use. Otherwise try to find a tool to convert PDF to any other textformat. Then you can import it in Excel (or maybe directly into Access - I don't really use Access a lot) through the use of seperators.

Peace,

Thanks Yellow I will see what I can come up with
