I wrote a macro which downloads some web pages to my HD; now I want to convert each of these pages into a PDF file, and finally to concatenate all PDFs into a single one.
Is this accomplishable in VBA? I only find code snippets to save Excel/Access/Word files into PDF!

Right, it works: I'm actually using RapidQ (Visual basic clone), I didn't notice that file path is seen as the last parameter received from commandline.
For search engines:
this code in RapidQ shows all the commandline parameters, last one being the path of the file dropped on the executable...
Let's suppose I add my program to SendTo menu, in such a way I can "send" to it any file just by right-clicking on the file: how can my program access the path of the right-clicked file? Looks like it is NOT in the command line...?

I found a lot of methods to extract text from PDF having Acrobat installed.... but NONE with just acrobat reader!
So, I think it's a licence issue: maybe Adobe does not allow developers to code SW which allow PDF text extraction... :-(

#develop looks very cool; but the question is the same:what do my user need to run my programs?
Currently they must donwload 20 MB to use my 40kb program (!!!), if they do not have XP... What about #develop? Can it produce totally standalone selfexecutable files?

Does XP come with .net framework pre-installed?
How large is the download I'll have to recommend to my users?...
And, finally, does it exist a free version of Visual Basic? I Installed VB.NET just because I saw "Visual Basic 2005 Express edition is freeware", but I'm very comfortable with VBA...
Visual Basic, Visual Basic for Applications, VB.net... what are the differences among them? Does it exist a web page which explains it in detail?
I just wrote my first VB Express 2005 program: now how do I distribute it? What do my user need to use it? Is the .exe enough, or do they need some...
I have this web page, and I'd like to download also its sub-pages, usually accessible by clicking the button.
How to accomplish this?

I found out how to look for specified documents and how to count documents having specified values in specified fields, in a fast way: use db.SEARCH function .
Example:
How many documents use "MainForm" form and have "7" value in "DocIcon" field?
That's easy:
Dim session As Object
Dim db...
Note:
this new "discovery" allows easy statistical calculation on the database! db.SEARCH is very fast, and you can determine in a few seconds how many documents have a particular form and a certain value in a field:
How many documents use "MainForm" form and have "7" value in "DocIcon" field...
No, I eventually found the solution.
This statement searches all records where field1 has value "textvalue" and field2 has value "12":
[...]
field1 = "NameOfField1"
field2 = "NameOfField2"
value1 = "textvalue"
value2 = "12"
SearchString$ = field1 & " = " & """" & value1 & """" & " & " &...
