look if your boss asked you to export all her receipts and do her expenses that's what you have to do!

normal people would use VBA.

It seems to me that these are *.PDF files but saved with a *.docx extension.

You can buy software to convert them.

Erm... implementing .docx as zips, with embedded objects in the word\embedding folder seems quite a simple solution. I mean... it must be simple if you managed to find it.

I've written programs in various languages that generate .docx - it really isn't too bad a format.
