  1. Windows
I have lots of Excel VBA applications developed on PC for the Windows platform (over the past 20 years).
I have lots of trouble recently after Windows update - system very very unstable.
I am thinking of ditching the Windows completely, and move all my development to iMac.

Question:
1. Can Excel VBA be ported to iMac?
2. If I continue to develop applications on iMac, will these applications run on Windows?

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Mac does not support ActiveX, nor the Dictionary object and there recent versions make creating a userform a huge headache.
And any API calls won't work either. Plus the file structure is very different.

Ooh....that would be a problem, cos I have third-party software to generate QR Codes.
