i have a computer with no internet that needs to be able to convert pdf files to excel, all i have is adobe reader, getting adobe proffesional is impossible,
currently i have this code, which works great for opening the pdf file using excel(or any other office application):



Code:
Option Explicit


Function OpenPDFPage(PDFPath As String, PageNumber As Long, PageView As Integer)


    'Opens a pdf file, at specific page and with specific view.
    'Sendkeys method is used for simulating keyboard shortcuts.
    'It can be used with both Adobe Reader & Adobe Professional.
    
    'By Christos Samaras
    
    'This line depends on the apllication you are using.
    'For Word
    'ThisDocument.FollowHyperlink PDFPath, NewWindow:=True
    'For Power Point
    'ActivePresentation.FollowHyperlink PDFPath, NewWindow:=True
    'For Excel
    ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink PDFPath, NewWindow:=True
    SendKeys ("^+N" & PageNumber & "~^" & PageView), True


End Function


Sub Test()


    OpenPDFPage "C:\Users\Ohad\Desktop\WWWWWWWWsdsd\pdf.pdf", 115, 2
    
    'Page view options:
    '0: Full Page
    '1: Zoom to 100%
    '2: Page Width


End Sub


how do i copy the file content to my worksheet using vba? this is pretty much all i need, but a way to arrange the content in the pdf file to diffrent collums would be much appreciated!

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
reader is just that, a reader of the image created, if you try to export from the latest version, it expects payment, need the distiller portion of the main product

Please post the how to when you have spent a good amount of time, figuring it out and making it work. As for your last comment, it's not appreciated .

added this code to the existing one, works like a charm <3


SendKeys "^a", True
SendKeys "^c", True
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
' Paste into the sheet from cell A1
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Paste Cells(1, 1)
