I have found that many of these products don't handle a mixture of portrait and landscape pages in the same report.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Gustav Brock [mailto:gustav at cactus.dk] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 7:23 AM To: Brett Barabash Subject: Re: [AccessD] PDF for word ... 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. /gustav > How about PDF995 (www.pdf995.com)?
