I'm assuming you mean the distance between the parts of the states closest to each other, so using road distances from one capital city to another won't give as good of an answer. To get a better answer, I did the following:

Using Mapquest, I zoomed in to the corners of these two states and right-clicked on them. It gave me the latitudes and longitudes of the corners, along with the names of the nearest cities.

(Cameron, West Virginia is the closest city to the corner of Pennsylvania that this site came up with.)

Then, I went to the Free map tools web site and entered both cities. This site gives you a distance "as the crow flies," as well as a distance by roads. The flying distance would be straight, and it came up with 794.112 miles and 1278.000 km.

A more accurate way is to use the latitudes and longitudes given. (Using latitudes and longitudes takes out the nearest city error and gets you as close to the corner as your eye will let you.) I searched for an online site that uses inputs of latitudes and longitudes to compute distance and also takes into account the curvature of the earth, and it gave 1265 km, which is the equivalent of approximately 786 mi.
