The other 'downside' with using Access > snapshot > PDF is the final PDF output is a 2nd generation image.  This can result in degraded image quality in my experience - if a detailed and sharp result is required this method is inadequate for the task I have found.  A single output to PDF is preferable.

Darryl.

Stephen Lebans code to create pdfs uses the snapshot format of a report to create the pdf file.

Snapshot file format is no longer available in Access 2010 == explains why it doesn't work well in that version.

A client wants to print stuff to a pdf and send the email.  I would create a report and send it to 
the printer, then pick up the resulting file and send an email.

I know how to do everything except the pdf part in the middle.

Is anyone doing this?
