[AccessD] PDF for word ...

Just thought I'd add that standard Access reports that contain graphic
images do not include the images when you simply send them to Acrobat.
That's why I bought the PDFMail library, which works beautifully.
After using it for about a year, I upgraded to the PDFMail Pro package,
which contains a nifty feature that I really needed: the ability to print
several documents into a single PDF.

Hey - that's a nice idea. I've noticed too, that pdf995 prints very
fast - and in this way you save the trouble with previewing Access
reports which are not presented very nicely - the Acrobat viewer is
far superior.

Well, for USD 9.95 you can't do much work.
