Hello,

I have around 1,000 PDFs in a folder and on the first page of each file the text string "Year/Period of Report" appears and is followed by "YYYY/MM". Is it possible to write a code in VBA that will open each PDF in the folder, find and copy a text string like the one noted above?

Thanks!!

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
