pdf Question And Answer
Is it possible to take an application thats in pdf format to and mdb format?
I have thousands of applications to analize for missing fields. we have two options,
one: scan them all into pdfs and then dump then into a db?
two: Online entry, which aint going to happen since that would require additional staff...
So...can a pdf be converted into an access db?

Not directly, no. Closest thing I can think of would be to export the PDFs into csv/comma delimited fields, and then set Access up to mirror the field structure in the data files.
You'd then have to do the manual import, create reports and all the rest based on that input etc. In other words, a LOT of work.

Scan them into tif and OCR them. Correcting is easier than entering. (Or can you get your source to send you spreadsheets or csv files? Then you can just suck them into Access. Sometimes a business solution is easier than a technical one.)
