Is it possible to create a PDF from with Access 2003? I am currently able to
create Excell documents and Powerpoint presentations using code that calls on
the appropriate objects. Can this be done with a PDF file?
 
Since ADOBE is not a Microsoft product, you will have to use a third party
PDF writer (such as cutepdf). I don't believe that Microsoft will ever make
it easy to create documents in a competitors format when they have their
"snapshot" format.
 
Rick the next version of Office supports native generation of PDF documents.

Also I released a free PDF creator for Access 97 or later that creates PDF's
without requiring the installation of a PDF Printer Driver.

A97ReportToPDF is an Access 97 database containing a function to convert
Reports and Snapshot files to PDF documents. No PDF Printer driver is
required. This archive contains a new version of the DynaPDF library. Please
make sure you delete your old version.

Version 2.01 November 16/2005 12:12am

Major change to project. No more MDE! Core logic is now contained within a
standard Windows DLL named StrStorage.dll produced in C++. New version of
the DynaPDF library. Neither the DyanPDF DLL or the StrStorage DLL require
Registration or a Reference to be set in your MDB. Solution now works with
all versions of Access. Several minor bug fixes and huge increase in
execution speed.

My apologizes to TADropik to stepping on his post, but I have a question for
Stephen. Will you be updating the A97ReportToPDF to allow lines as opposed
to boxes? I have *snp reports that work great, but I would like to convert
them to *.pdf within my application. What you have done so far is excellent!
Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

As it says repeatedly in the sample MDB, I am working on this issue and hope
to have a resolution posted soon.

Tonight I finally resolved the issue with lines generated by the report Line
tool not showing in the converted PDF. It will be a day or two before I post
the new release because I have to test the PDF compression and Security
stuff I've added in this release.
