[AccessD] Scanning pdfs

Hi John:

That depends. If the security setting are read-only then NO. In many cases,
if you have the latest version of Adobe Reader-Writer, the files can be
opened and edited and then the data can be saved in various formats. I
understand there are a few programs out there that can perform a similar
task. (If the PDF file has not been locked down.)

Can data be extracted from a pdf?  I am looking at getting data into a
database, but the data is coming in a pdf format.
