I se pdf995 to send pdf attachments with OUtlook. If you use pdf995edit then you can open access the autoname feature which allows you to specify a path and file name where files will always be output to, eg. C:\PDF Output\output.pdf.

You can then add some code in your database to copy that file to a new more appropriate file name and attach that file to the email.

  Subject: [AccessD] Print Files from Access


  I have a situation that I was wondering if anybody else has encountered.  We
  have some image files that are stored on the network that we occasionally
  need to email to clients for review.  Up to now, we have been linking the
  images to an Access report and emailing a snapshot version to the client.

  Management would like to change this so that a PDF version of the picture is
  attached to an email and sent instead.  We use PDF995 and I can easily set
  the Access default printer so that all output goes to the virtual PDF
  printer.

  My problem is that I don't know how to open the photo itself from Access and
  send it to the printer.  Any thoughts?
