Hi,
How can I use Progress 4GL to read information in a PDF? Is there a way to do this?

If Windows and version 10.2B or later then one way is using .NET controls:

Most are paid for options, but this one is free although limited to PDFs that are 10 pages or less:

Hi
I'd use pdfInclude for this (disclaimer: I'm the one behind it).
What kind of information do you need to read? metadata or text on the page?
