What is the best way - without soldering - to connect a 3/4" rigid
copper pipe *to 3/4" PVC 40?

If there is no good way, what do I need to buy to make a solder
joint?

Thank you

the only proper way is to solder a threaded fitting on the copper pipe,then
screw on the proper PVC adapter,and glue up your PVC pipe network to that
adapter.

you need a propane or MAPP torch,flux-core plumbing solder(no lead!!),emery
paper to clean the solder joint areas,and maybe a heat shield if there's
wood or a wall *close by.

The folks at Home Depot or Lowes ought to be able to show you how to do
this properly. they might even teach a class on it.

Why is that the only "proper" way?
