I just got a request to write some reports that have to be done in PDF format. Can this be done in Access or will I need to use something else.
I have been using bcp for the other reports, but a salesman said yes, so i have to do it :>(

There are some 3rd party products that let you create pdf's, I think mostly they show up as a printer driver. Try componentsource.com. Doing from Access probably easier than directly from a proc.

Take a look at ActivePDF (http://www.activepdf.com) as well as Adobe's own PDFWriter (should be with Adobe Acrobat).

Hi John,
we are using Adobe Acrobat to make pdf's. As Andy said it shows up as printer driver. We use it from Excel, Word and Access. It works fine, although the Adode product is not the cheapest product in the market.
Cheers,
Frank
