MS ACCESS Doesn't show objects with outputto PDF

I am having an issue when exporting Access Reports to PDF. I am using the 'DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stdocnameTrend, acFormatPDF, FileNamePDFDets, , , , acExportQualityPrint function.

The function is working however when I open the PDFs not all of the images are showing, I have looked at the "Display When" and they are all set to always. When I print to pdf it works, but I can not find the code to automate printing to PDF...

Anyone have any success with this?

There have been issues with images not displaying. In a very recent discussion the solution ended up being resizing the image to more or less the exact size used in the report (so large images ended up not being displayed?!).

There was also http://www.devhut.net/2015/12/08/finally-a-fix-for-the-images-not-showing-in-forms-and-report-for-access-2016/ you could always try implementing the workaround to see if it helps in your current case.

What version and build number of Access are you running?
Is it the full or runtime edition?
Have you tried performing a repair?
Have you tried performing an update?

I am using MS Access 2013, I have tried almost everything, in the report I am using are charts.

MS Access Version 14 Build 07195

I can not perform an update as I am not an administrator

14 is 2010, not 2013?
The build looks off, could you post a screenshot of your Account, about Access form please.

Did you try resizing the images?
Did you try changing the size mode as suggested in the article?
