>What it boiled down to is that I found a product that can automatically generate an RTF from a PDF from VFP. It strips out all graphics and lines and leaves raw text. Now I would like to parse the RTF line by line to get the info into a database. Any words of wisdom of the best way to do this? Can this be done using office automation? Opening an RTF file shows what is not a very complex file - it's not even encrypted like PDF's are.

Hi John,

Check out www.wotsit.org I few months ago I was attempting to generate rtf files from vfp and this site was quite helpful for this.
