I'm trying to automate PDF Converter 6 Enterprise in Access 2007 VBA via the API layer. I managed to get a doc from Nuance tech support that documents the methods available in the API layer but it only gives examples in C++. I am not a C++ programmer but the Nuance document claims the API layer is available to any programming language supporting OLE automation. My goal is to convert PDFs to Excel spreadsheets, capture the data and store it in an Access database. I actually have all the individual parts working but I need to automate the call to the PDF Converter API layer. If anyone has had any experience in this I sure could use some vb/vba method examples to instantiate, open, convert, close pdf docs using vb/vba. I have attached the Nuance doc.
