Importing PDF files into FoxPro reports

[power]

Is there any way to import a PDF file into a ForPro report?

PDF files can save the data to an access database.
If you can get the database to export to a textfile you can import it into a foxpro table and print that way. David W. Grewe

Hi,

open the PDF file, click on view, make sure "continuous" option is checked , press CTRL+C (copy) , open notepad , press CTRL+V (paste) and save the document as text. now you can import it as text in Foxpro and parse through it

When I try that copy and paste, it will only bring over the text, it will not bring over any boxes or lines..

well , That's true.... but you won't be able to import boxes and lines into a foxpro database anyway.
