Yes Charlotte, that is the case. The PDF data is a report in tabular form where if a column doesn't have data, the PDF text export doesn't leave an indication that the column was empty. So if several columns have no data, it is hard to figure out which date belongs under what column heading. I have played with the free download product from http://www.simpopdf.com/ It at least will make a text file that keeps the columns lined up, thus I can parse the data knowing which date belongs to what column. So, are there any ADD-IN's, or something, that be part of MsAccess that can do the same ? Or some other better solution ? Thanks.
