Simple PDF creation

[Gary Dolliver]

Hi all,
I have an existing report being brought to screen that I would like to
automatically name and save as a PDF to a specific location. I have been
looking through the threads here and there is a lot of focus on Mr. Lebans
PDF generator, but am hoping for something simpler?
I am already gathering the file name and path location to save to, how can
this be implemented? Are all the extras really needed?
Please let me know, thanks!

Stephen's Report2PDF is the best and simplest I have used. It is a drop into
place solution requiring very little from the developper but a line or 2 of
code to use.

Your other option is to install a pdf writer (Acrobat, PDFCreator,
CuteWriter,...) on each machine and then learn to code whatever it is you
installed. This will probalbly be much more time consuming and frustrating.

I would take another serious look at Stephen's solution.

For Access versions before 2007, Stephen Lebans' Report2PDF is the best
solution I know of. Access 2007 includes PDF output as a free download.
