Include pdf-files in reports

[mogens]

I'm an MS-access Newbie, but have found out that Access might
revolutionize the way I today deliver my orders to my fulfilment center.

I have build a report which generates a packing slip for each order. No
problem in that. However, I would like to print out invoices included in
the report if possible.

Each orders invoice is found as a pdf-file located in C:\orders\ and
named like the order, for instance 1234.pdf. The first problem is how do
I qualify this so that access will get C:\orders\1234.pdf, and next, can
this print be included in the report as a separate page following the
packing list?

Appreciate any ideas!

Cheers
Mogens

So I guess this is bot possible? Images can be included I have seen, so
why not pdf's?

Of course this would require that the pdf's were scaled down to be
included within a single report page.

Still hoping for some ideas as aving from pdf to an image format would
not seem a good route to choose.
