Import PDF Forms Data to Access

As far as I know, you can't.

Forms in PDF do not persist the data: they allow you print the filled-in
form, but that's it.

Not directly, but there is an ActiveX control that will read PDFs from
within Access.

You can also use the free Foxit PDF reader which opens incredibly fast (I
open a 500 page document in under a second) compared to the Adobe version.
Register Foxit as the program for PDFs, store the paths to the PDFs in your
database, then use this code to open them:
