Hello, can anyone help to remake following VBA to repeat the process (open a new PDF file, copy, paste into a new text file)
as many PDF files contains a folder?

Thanks in advance!



Code:
Public Sub Copy_and_Paste_From_PDF_File2()

    Dim AdobeApp As String
    Dim PDFfile As String
    Dim StartAdobe
    
    ActiveSheet.Cells.Clear
   
    AdobeApp = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"   'Acrobat Reader
   
    PDFfile = "C:\path\to\Invoice 123.pdf"
   
    StartAdobe = Shell(Q(AdobeApp) & " " & Q(PDFfile), 1)
   
    'Wait 3 seconds to allow PDF to open
    Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 3, Now)
   
    'Select All and Copy from PDF
    SendKeys "^a^c", True
   
    'Wait 5 seconds to allow Select All and Copy to finish
    Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 5, Now)
   
    'Paste into Excel
    AppActivate Application.Caption
    ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
    SendKeys "^v", True
  
End Sub

Private Function Q(text As String) As String
    Q = Chr(34) & text & Chr(34)
End Function

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
