[AccessD] PDF for word ...

But that's how I generate all of my PDFs.  I print the report directly to
either the Acrobat PDFWriter printer, or the PDF995 printer.  Is there a way
to do it without these installed?

Sorry I meant without any PDF995 or similar products. If you just have
Acrobat reader (printer) and try to send an Access report to it.

My quotes have a bitmap at the top of each page that reproduces perfectly in
both Acrobat and PDF995.  Do you mean graphics stored in the table?

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.
