I understand extraction of PDF text to Excel. How to extract only comments from PDF to Excel. Instead of manually from PDF acrobat, can I automate it using VBA?
Thanks for such a detailed and easy walkthrough. I was looking for something similar to automate a US tax form. I would like to update this form filed using values from different cells in Excel. One way I can think to do this using sheet.range function along with for to loop in all the rows for to update all data. Am I right, or are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for the response. I did see this is video yesterday, but from what I see, the you did fill out the pdf but the values were constant and update in vba window. As I would like to update it for multiple companies I need it to be more dynamic. So that I could take values from excel cell.
Sorry for multiple comments, but one last question. I tried to use your code but unfortunately I am not able to open the pdf form . I am getting access denied pop up
I get a runtime error "no such interface supported" for Set aApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") and set av_doc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") any ideas? I have the correct reference checked Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library. Thanks.
Thanks for the code I run it but getting single single charecters in immediate window. How can I get exact words only ? How to get values next to perticular word?
Great video, can someone help me? I’m getting a “Runtime error 91: object variable or with block variable not set” on line “For j = 0 to sel_text.getnumtext -1” I believe I have everything the same as the video just a different folder to a pdf (obviously)
hi, this does not seems to work with Adobe Acrobat DC Reader. Can someone please confirm? I was not able to see the AcroApp when I declare "Dim aApp as Acrobat.???", the only option is cAcroApp.. Thanks!
Again a great tutorial. can you please change this line Debug.Print sel_text.GetText(j) to Debug.Print sel_text.GetText(j); and then look what this will do. This is great for me! I am trying to get it printed like this in an Excel file. Can you help out? Because I don't know if it is possible to read data from PDF line by line. It is ok, if the complete TXT will be put into Cell A1, I will then use Excel to rebuild data into columns etc ( the same way I would do when importing a TXT file)
This is SO cool. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.
You are so welcome!
This was SO helpful, thank you very much! Is there a way to detect if the text is underlined or bold in the PDF as you are reading through it?
Wow, your works are amazing. Thank you.
