[AccessD] OT: Automate PDF Creation

Thanks for the reply Chris!
We currently use PDF995 on some workstations here and I would love to see
how you use it!

Thanks for the offer!

Hi Joe!

I have a A97 database that I use to generate .pdf files from reports. It
uses pdf995 ( http://www.pdf995.com/ ) as a "virtual" printer.

If this would help you, please let me know and I'll re-package my database.

Or even better, Stuart McLachlan has products named MakePDF and MailPDF at
http://www.lexacorp.com.pg - look under "FREE SOFTWARE".

HTH
