MS Access Reports

I have some very complex MS Access Reports (some text, several charts) that I
normally export as Snapshot files. Now we are starting to use a 3M overhead
monitor (Digital Sinage Portal). It does not handle snp files, it is limited
to html, xml, htm, gifs, jpg and some txt files.
What is the simplest way to turn my reports into something that this DS
Portal can use.
I tried exporting them as Access Data Pages, but they can not export the
charts. What are the possible solutions?
 
Personally, I would buy a full version of Adobe Acrobat.
Print the Report to PDF
Load the PDF docs into Acrobat and SaveAs to Jpeg format

A no frills/no cost method would be to print to the Microsoft Office Image
Document Writer. Load the doc into the MODI viewer app and SaveAs TIFF. Now
load the TIF image into your favourite Paint application and convert to the
desired final Image format.

Another low cost method would be to purchase a Virtual Printer Driver that
supports output to JPEG/Tif whatever.

I was going to produce a Report to Bmp/Jpg converter but I've decided to
give the new MS XPS doc format a look.
