I do have more than 100 pdf files weekly filled that I have to run report on them. PDFs have same format, readable. All I want is to collect somehow all the data to access database. I do not have sharepoint and not using LiveCycle. I`m not bad at vba but I really could not think on how I would approach this. So I hope someone outthere had to go through it?

I want to make a form for office use. Office computers don't take scripts due to security restrictions. The HTML form will be used by multiple users to save data to a single excel file.
An alternative... one I haven't needed to do in about 15 years, but maybe this will work for you...
Make a form in an Access DB. You're all on the same network with a shared drive. Access actually has protections for this exact sort of scenario. You won't have to worry about overriding each others' data, and you can use the nice form designer.
Try using Google Forms, it will collect/store data into a google-sheets that you can easily export/save-as MS Excel file.
This Google tutorial will guide you step-by-step to create the form.
I have a quick question, is it possible to open a form created codes in access?
I have created my form but I can not find how to perceive its code in Visual Basic
Thank you for your reply
The only way I know is to export your form from access in an ASCII file, but this is not useful. Access forms are completely embedded in the mdb/accdb file and they need access executable to run. Usually you write events functions of the forms of your access project into the vba editor, but you can access properties and design details only from the design view.
I'm just wondering if it is possible to output data from a webpage to MS word? I'm trying to have a link on my webpage(HTML/JSP code), when clicked this automatically opens the MS word application and builds a report inside Word based on information stored in my database(MS Access). So the report can be easily edited before printed. This database is linked to my HTML/JSP coded website. Is this possible? Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.
Can anyone suggest me or point me in the right direction if there is a way to generate a fillable pdf form using SQL Reporting services? Are there any third party plugins on the report server that can provide the fillable form rendering options or if there is a way we could convert the pdf format of the report to fillable form by using some API. Can you please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ajay
I've never heard of such a tool, and a search didn't return any different answer.
One option you have is:
Create an editable PDF file with the same layout of your SSRS report
Create a WCF service, controller method, or anything your app is with
logic to get the same info
Create a method to fill the editable form using iTextSharp with
your data
Send the PDF file to the user.
Have you ever considered this?
For number one you can use Acrobat Pro, CutePDF or any other tool you
feel confortable with.
I'm maintaining a VBA application in Access and a big part of this program is to make PDF's and email. I've already coded to create a PDF with PDF995, but the problem is that it keeps prompting where to save and a bunch of other questions.
Is there any solution that allows me to create PDF's in the background without prompting the user anything? I know where it needs to be saved, I know how it's going to be named, so that's not the problem.
Which Access version are you using?
In Access 2007 and above you can create PDF files out of the box, without stuff like prompting where to save.
Here's an example:
Execute Access 2007 Report and Export that Report to PDF Programmatically?
Note that in Access 2007, you have to install an add-in in order for this to work!
For Access 2003 and below, there's Steven Lebans' ReportToPDF.
