Bring Image Into Access as a Form

[Guest]

I have a .pdf tax form image that I would like to bring into Access as a
report or form and populate it from a query -- so I can mass print it with
lots of data. Can you point me to some examples or literature that will help
me out. THanks.

Adobe Acrobat had an ActiveX control that did this up through version 4.05.
Then they broke it when they tried to foil those who would build pdf makers
and far lower cost. I gave up and decided to abandoned Adobe and use a
smaller, quicker, better, and MUCH cheaper program to make my PDFs, named
Win2PDF:

I now store the path to the PDF in a text field and use ShellExceute to open
it in a better reader (also free) than Adobe's:

Have a look at the code at:
