Const wdDoNotSaveChanges = 0
Dim fso As Object, fo As Object, f As Object, wa As Object, doc As Object, wr As Object, nws As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet, pdf_path As String

    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Macro")
    pdf_path = ws.Range("B3").Value
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If pdf_path = "" Or excel_path = "" Then
        MsgBox "please fill the empty cells"
        Exit Sub
    Else
        Set fo = fso.GetFolder(pdf_path)
        Set wa = CreateObject("word.application")
        wa.Visible = True
        For Each f In fo.Files
            Set doc = wa.documents.Open(f.Path, False, Format:="PDF Files", ReadOnly:=True)
            Set wr = doc.Paragraphs(1).Range
            wr.WholeStory
            Set nws = Sheets.Add
            nws.Name = Left(f.Name, InStrRev(f.Name, ".pdf", -1, vbTextCompare) - 1)
            wr.Copy
            nws.Range("A1").Select
            ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="HTML", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, NoHTMLFormatting:=True
            cutcopypaste = False
            wa.documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

Hi Dear ,
This code working perfectly :) :)
thank you very much.
I just added another simple macro to prevent word question : "Do you want to keep the last item you copied?"
the code is :
VBA Code:
Sub FileClose()
 Dim MyData   As DataObject
Set MyData = New DataObject
MyData.SetText ""
MyData.PutInClipboard
ActiveDocument.Close
End Sub

thank you again :)

I have business case. I need to grab texts from certain page. Example : If a PDF has 10 pages, I need to grab only 5,6, and 9 pages to excel. How do I do that?
