The short answer is: No.
The longer answer is: try at least a Google search for samples of reading PDF files.

You cannot do this with the native vb libraries. You will need to get a 3rd party pdf reader library - Good Luck!

"Scanned" PDF document?

You mean you ran it through a scanner, then wrapped the resulting image in a PDF file?

You need an OCR program to convert a scanned image to text -- some OCR programs are better at dealing with tables and putting them into spreadsheets than others.

Search for OCR programs. You aren't going to do it in VB yourself.
