Export report to PDF

[Jai]

Hello,

I am using Microsoft Access 97 and Adobe acrobat 5.0.
From Access I am generating PDF files of my reports using Adobe distiller
printer driver. The PDF is getting generated but the hyperlinks are not
working.
Does anybody has a solution for this. I don't want to buy any new PDF
converters as I already have Adobe acrobat 5.0.

Thanks in advance,
Jai.

I don't think Adobe's PDF drivers convert hyperlinks.
Use win2pdf www.win2pdf.com

Sorry that's the only answer I have,
Mark

Jai:

Acrobat 5's Distiller program will not automatically create Acrobat
hyperlinks from urls contained in a document. The only way to do this with
Acrobat 5 is to open the PDF in Acrobat and choose to locate hyperlinks.

That said, our PDF and Mail Library, PDF Pro Plus edition, will allow you to
automate output of your PDF files from your Access reports and to
automatically locate and add the hyperlinks into the PDF file. Its simple
to use, with code like that shown below. You'll find it on our web.
