I need a script that will read the third line in a pdf document and rename
the pdf based on information from that line.

Is this possible to accomplish with vb script. Can any one provide me with
some info a starting point. Im new to vb script but technical. my problem
is
starting need a startin point or direct me to a good online source.
Thanks.

The third physical line in a pdf file or
the third line in the file before it was "printed" as a pdf?

The following (as a text file called "pdf3line.txt") contains five lines:

This is line 1.
This is line 2.
This is line 3.
This is line 4.
This is line 5.

As a PDF (called "pdf3line.pdf") it looks something like this:

%PDF-1.2
