[AccessD] Automating Acrobat

...yes, as long as existing pdfs don't require editing ...you have to look 
at what he wants as his end product rather than the way he poses the 
question ...if what he wants is to fill out a blank pdf form, you can do 
that pretty easily ...you just build a form/report that precisely duplicates 
the pdf and users can fill it out in Access and then print or save as a pdf 
...the Lebans code does an excellent job of replicating the report in pdf 
format. ...dl the Lebans code and try it out ...he has samples and you don't 
require any additional software ...takes a few minutes and then you'll know 
if it'll do what you need.
