Access Report Deployed as PDF Question

[Don]

Hello, I have a access mde that I have 100+ users using as a front-end. I
want to deploy some of my access reports as pdf. For example, let's say I
have a Invoice screen with two buttons, one says Print and the other says
PDF. The print button will print the Access Invoice report. The PDF button
would generate a PDF of the Access Invoice report with no additional user
interaction. I know that there are products that exist such as CutePDF
which says they have a free version of there product. If I understand
correctly you would still need to install the free CutePDF on every user
machine. Do most people just give there users a link to the CutePDF website
to get this product or create some setup routine to install the CutePDF
product?

Thanks

Don

Haven't tried this, but check out Stephen Lebans' site. He has a solution.

I would assume that Acrobat reader will read these files. Most
business users generally have Acrobat or can install it.

You assume correctly. PDF995, CutePDF and others are all readable by Acrobat
reader.
