Is there any method through which I can read the contents of PDF into Excel sheet without using Sendkeys? (Code preferred in Python, VBA, Javascript only)

Yes, using the VB bridge to JavaScript and the getPageNthWord method. This is described in the Acrobat SDK. Acrobat (not Reader) required As well as study of the SDK.

It depends what you mean by "contents".

* The raw collection of words in a PDF is not too difficult from VB/VBA

* Rows and columns are not even a concept in PDF, so this requires guesswork from positions

* Graphics is not possible through scripting

By contents, I mean some text and number. That's all.

I do have the code which runs perfectly in VBA. However, it uses sendkeys. Is there any method through which I can avoid the usage of sendkeys?
