Is it possible to open reader PDF save as text in VBA?

You normally cannot open a PDF file on Visual Basic; you need an add-on to open this kind of file. Here are some of the steps on how to open a PDF in Visual Basic using bytestoPDF add-on.

• First, download the add-on component and then install it on your computer. You can download the bytestoPDF add-on component from ByteScout. You may also check the page for their guide on using the add-on component.
• Click Project menu in Visual Studio .NET then select Add Reference.
• Click Browse then select “Bytescout.PDF.Demo.dll”. Click OK afterwards.
• Add “Imports Bytescout.PDF” located at the top of the file to allow you to call classes and use the component.
