Extracting data from NSF database file - Domino

I have an nsf database file from a domino web application based on Lotus Domino version 6.5.

Any ideas on how I can extract the data? The data contains word,pdf and html documents.

You can download the Notes designer client from IBM with no restrictions as well as the Notes and administrator clients with a 90-day evaluation period. Then you should be able to access the data natively.

The word and pdf documents can be detached:

For a=1 To coll.count
     Set doc=coll.GetNthDocument(a)
     Set rtitem = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
     Forall o In rtitem.EmbeddedObjects
        oname="c:\" + o.name
        Call o.ExtractFile( oname )
        Call o.Remove
     End Forall
     Call doc.Save(True, False)
  Next

The code above is just an example, the point is to find the embedded object and use o.ExtractFile( oname )

If the html documents are also attached files, you can do the same for those. If not, it is a different story.
