Hi Everyone,
I have this code to import data from a PDF to Excel Sheet.
The problem is it imports all the data as one column
is there something im missing ?

anyone know of a way to import from a pdf and have it look the same?

here my code

Code:
Sub PDFinport1()
 Dim wsLog As Worksheet, wsOutp As Worksheet
Set wsOutp = Sheets("Test1")
Filename = "F:\MY Docs1\New1\Hotel Excel File Updates\test1.pdf"
ShellExecute 0, "Open", Filename, "", "", vbNormalNoFocus
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
    SendKeys "^a", True
 Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
    
   SendKeys "^c", True
   
   Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
wsOutp.Paste Cells(1, 1)
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
SendKeys "%{F4}", True

End Sub

please help if you can

Thanks

Tony
 

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Because importing that way simply collects the content as a text stream; any structure and formatting is lost.
