Having looked into this in more detail I found that I can actually get Word 2003+ to give me everything I want - just get it to save as a WordML file. Like RTF it has the benefit of having no hidden secrets but is at the same time nice and clean.
RTF in its original form was a nice idea. Then...
Thanks guys. I think you have convinced me that I am better of playing with the RTF as I am well used to doing. I am not at all persuaded that if I get started on the VBA approach I will get all the information I require.

I run a site which has a growing number of PDF documents that are downloaded frequently. What I would like to do is to get feedback information - which I would store in a database on my servers - each time the document is printed. I know that Acrobat has built-in JavaScript so perhaps there is...
