[AccessD] PDF for word ...

I tested PDF995 with our Access based quoting system, and the results were
identical to that of Acrobat.  The quotes produced by this application range
between 20 and 100 pages, and contain embedded graphics (logos), lines and
boxes.  I noticed that the files produced were larger, but still we're
talking KB not MB or GB!

I guess the burning question is this:  Is it really necessary to have output
that is IDENTICAL to Acrobat?  After all, I have seen Acrobat mangle up
certain documents, so is it really necessary to have a competing product
emulate that result?

I would like to hear the differences, though.  We are about to purchase
licenses for all of our workstations (~50), and it would be nice to know
about any limitations before purchasing it.

Hi Brett and Tom et al

Be careful with these. I did a test some months ago and none of them
(nor Win2pdf) created output identical to that from Acrobat.

For some cases any pdf is fine, I know, but for critical jobs it is
not.
