Hello,
I have a WinForm application from where I am accessing a SQL Server 2005 database using unbound controls. There is a separate PDF file with all the data in it tabular format. Is it possible to create a code by which I may copy the data form the PDF file to my database?
I am using C#(Visual Studio 2008).
