Print PDF image in report
I was looking at this a couple of years ago and got nowhere. I wondered if anything has changed since then....
I'm using access 2007 and I need to print PDF images in a report. The web browser control works very well for viewing PDF's on a Form, but I just get a white page when I try to do the same on a report.
Has this behaviour changed in more recent versions of access?

We dont want to print PDF's. We want to print Access reports with a PDF embedded in them. ie we want database information and a PDF graphic on the same page. At the moment we are using .bmp, jpeg and .wmf, but these dont always print with sufficient detail on an Access report.

Thanks for that. Our images are produced by our Art Department in Adobe Illustrator. They can export them to whatever format we want.
Typically, we would have half a page of data, in our Access job cards, with an image on the lower half of the page. Like I said above, there sometimes appears to be a loss of fidelity in image when using the other image formats, But when the image is exported to a .PDF and that is then printed, the image is always crisp.
I'll give our Art Dept the bad news.Thanks again.

I find that Access 2010 handles images a better. It will even handle PNG files with a transparent background.
As a test, you could install the free Access 2010 Runtime on a machine and run your Access 2007 database. I am curious to see 2010 it prints the images in a higher fidelity.
