Searching a PDF file from VBA

[hermit22]

As part of a module that imports messages from Outlook into a database, I need to be able to open up pdf files and search them. I have no problem importing the rest of the message, saving the attachment, or opening the pdf in acrobat with ShellExecute, but then I run into a roadblock.

Basically, I'm looking to see if two words ("Case resolved") exist in the pdf file. Is this possible? It's got me confused.

Take a look at the Office FileSearch object.

Hope This Helps, PH.
