[AccessD] Back to Web Browser ActiveX

Tony,

<<Also as an aside I was trying to find a way to allow the client to convert
a
file to a PDF if they didn't own a full blown copy of Adobe.>>

  There are a number of free utilities out there that will allow for taking
Post Script output from a printer driver (saved to a file) and convert it to
a PDF.  I use Ghost Script to do that.

  I've looked at LeadTools in the past and it looks like good stuff, but I
have not had an opportunity to use it yet.

  I'm going to jump out there and look at it again.  Been sometime since I
looked at what they had to offer.

Jim.

Hey All
If there is anyone wanting to allow their client to view PDF files in a form
in an application I highly recommend using the Web Browser ActiveX control.
So far I haven't run into any problems (not saying there aren't any,
but....).
 
Also as an aside I was trying to find a way to allow the client to convert a
file to a PDF if they didn't own a full blown copy of Adobe. One of those
problems, if not, how to solve it. I found LeadTools EPrint $99 (actual I
had purchased one of the first versions of the program years ago, and forgot
about it, ahhh old age). It installs on the user;'s machine as a printer
driver (it converts almost anything you can print to a PDF). The thing that
I really like is they have an option that let's you annotate a PDF file.
