I came back to this video to see if there was a way I could reference meeting minutes that were transcribed and saved as a PDF file. The only way I could see to do this was via a field in my meeting table with the data type " Attachment". This method just references the PDF file and doesn't actually open it in the database. Is there a way to have this file actually be visible in the meeting table/form? I don't see a way to import a PDF file, only able to export data in this format.
Reply from Richard Rost:
Office isn't really that good at importing PDF. There are conversion utilities out there that can convert PDF to Text (even Word can do that) and then you could save that text in your database if you want to be able to search it.
