Pdf's  & MS ACCESS

I have been unable to find a 'reading pane' control to view / preview pdf files from within MS ACCESS. I would like it to be sizable from thumbnail to most of the screen, depending on the form the user was on.
Is such a thing available ?  Where would I go to get it ?
Thanks

I've not seen or heard of such a thing. If there was, it could come from Microsoft as Access is their package.

  • Option to email a pdf from an access report does not appear.

    I upgraded to windows 8, and now the option to email a pdf from an access report does not appear.

    Hi anne,
    Could you please let me know what Acrobat and OS version are you using.
    Does this happen in case of any particular PDF or all PDF files?
    Try repairing Acrobat and then again check.
    Hope to get your response.

  • PDF forms populating Access DB and vice/versa

    I have a PDF from that I published to Acrobat.com There are fields to be filled out. Problems:
    1. How can I set the fields to populate into an existing MS Access DB once submitted results back to me?
    2. How can the form populate upon a certain chouice criteria?
    Scenerio: Form is a log file for patients seen, including name, date, room#, diagnosis codes, testing, medications, f/u. The same fields exist in MS Access but distributed among 3 tables (linked). In the PDF form I have created a New Data Connection (OLEDB), Connection string (Provider for ODBC drivers), In the Data View I see my fields from access - so for each input Binding it points to the field (i.e.: for patient name - $record.Patient.Last_Name).
    But here is the rub:
    1. When the first patient filed is filled, all subsequent patient names are filled with same name (and they keep just replaceing the other inputs).
    2. I cannot seem to create a date calender, or have the current date default (taken from the computer time stamp).
    3. I can not seem to calculate the follow/up (it's 4 weeks) from the input of the date.
    4. When selecting a facility, how do I populate the fields with current patient names and previous Diagnosis (if at all possible).
    5. When I created the data connection, the fill in spaces become obscured and my drop down box for facility choice stops working.
    I know this is big, but any advice and help is greatly appreciated in advance. I have also attached the PDF form for analysis. Please not that there are two, one is the original prior to Life Cycle modification and the other is with the DB linking attempt.
    Thanks

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the reply and help. I am uploading the MS Access DB (2007). Another caveat, when I chose to use the creat new connection and then chose the build - Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Databse Engine OLE DB Provider, I am not able to link into the database at all. I double checked the location and everything. I do not have any user name or password set-up and chose to leave it blank but get his error:
    Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Could not find file 'C:\User\........'
    Since I am new at this, please feel free to change any structure of the form as needed - as long as the end result will work
    The set-up sounds quite easy and straight forward, but guess its a bit more complicated than I thought. I even have the book: Adobe Acrobat 9.0 in a class room - but no help there either. I am familiar with some Javascripting, so your explanations hopefully will not be over me head.
    Thanks again for your dedication and help
    regards
    Shai

  • How to add text to a pdf file using Access VBA??

    I'm down on my hands and knees, begging.  I have 300 files that I want to put a variable string at the top of the first page (centered, or at the right hand side).  I am using Acrobat X and Microsoft Access 2010 and I do have the SDK and have spend over 10 hours so far searching it and the internet in general, for help and still am coming up empty handed. 
    I can do the looping and passing variables with my eyes closed, but I cannot get the syntax for the actual opening of the pdf and inserting the string. 
    I was trying to modify code I found yesterday that is supposed to add an annotation, but I don't want an annotation, I just want a string of text at the top of page 1. For now, all I want is to be successful at doing ONE file.  Can someone please give me a concrete example of the code I need to use?  Like I said, I'm in begging mode
    Public Sub AddText()
        Dim pdDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
        Dim page As Acrobat.AcroPDPage
        Dim annot As Acrobat.AcroPDAnnot
        Dim jso As Object
        Dim strPath As String
        Dim intpoint(1) As Integer
        Dim intpopupRect(3) As Integer
        Dim props As Object
        Set pdDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        pdDoc.Open ("c:\Test\Test.pdf")
        Set page = pdDoc.AcquirePage(0)
        'Set annot = page.AddAnnot(0)
        intpoint(0) = 0
        intpoint(1) = page.GetSize.y
        intpopupRect(0) = 0
        intpopupRect(1) = page.GetSize.y - 100
        intpopupRect(2) = 200
        intpopupRect(3) = page.GetSize.y
        annot.SetColor (vbRed)
        annot.SetContents "JCPC - 22 - 2011050000001"
        pdDoc.Save 1, "c:\Test\Test.pdf"
        pdDoc.Close
        Set pdDoc = Nothing
        MsgBox "Done"
    End Sub

    You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
    argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
    Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
    the function only takes 19. Try the following:
    Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
    jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
        jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
        jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
        100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
    I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
    be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
    supposed to look like.

  • Make PDF formular only accessable for one user at the same time?

    Hello!
    I designed a formular which needs to be filled in by different departments of our company. Unfortunatly the DF can be opened by several people at the same time. Is there any way to "lock" the PDF, fot that only one user has access to the formular at the same time, like e.g in MS Word Docs?
    Please help, I coudn´t find a solution myself.
    Thanks!
    K.B.

    This needs to be done on an OS level not by the application.

  • Created PDF from MS Access - lines are missing from PDF

    I'm using Acrobat 8 (from Adobe CS3) to create PDF files.  When I "print" reports from Microsoft Access 2003, the thin line borders that outline cells are often missing from the PDF. Typically, 1 or 2 of the sides are missing, with the other sides appearing normally.
    This appears to happen primarily when the line thickness is set to "hairline".
    If I use a non-Adobe PDF writer (PDF Creator), then the lines appear normally.
    Any suggestions about what I can do to correct this?
    Thanks - Jim

  • How may I print a pdf doc from access vba code

    I have a directory of files and I want to send these files to the printer in a specific order (right-clicking in the explorer seems to give an unpredictable order).
    I am using the sdk and know how to find the files in the directory, but I can't find any print-method???
    Has anybody any code?

    Thank you!
    Yes I have downloaded the SDK and read the documentation, but obviously not good enough (there are a lot of doc. files). Sorry for that!
    But I have got into a problem since one year ago....
    Looking in the references in Access (2007), I see that the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Libray (Acrobat.tlb) is pointing to my program directory, not to the c:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat where the Acrobat.tlb is placed. My program directory does NOT contain this Acrobat.tlb!!!
    When I remove and reconnects to the proper directory, it automatically goes back to point to my program directory (where the Access program is).
    As a result (?) my Access program stops working when I try to open a pdf-document.
    Any ideas what has happended / what to do?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?

  • Hyperlink address get truncated when creating a pdf from MS Access.

    I have a MS Access 2002 Report that I need to export to a pdf.  I have several text boxes, and several hyperlink boxes.  The hyperlinks show up in the pdf, however, when I click on the link, Acrobat only recognizes the first line of the address and the links don't work.
    For example here is a sample hyperlink address notice that it wraps around in the box:
    http://forms.adobe.com/
    post/input_etc
    When I click on the link, Internet Explorer opens and tries to go to http://forms.adobe.com/  However, since the entire address isn't on the same line, IE can't open the link.
    I need to create ongoing pdfs from the database and can't spend the time fixing this issue each time.
    I had Acrobat Pro 8, and have upgraded to Pro 9, but the problem persists.

    I think that export is a MS solution. Do you have an Adobe icon or Create PDF menu on your Access? In Access 2007, it will show up as an Acrobat menu. This is the process you use to create a PDF with PDF Maker. I see no Export in Access 2007.

  • Printing to PDF Writer from Access VBA

    I have the printer properties for the Adobe PDF Writer set to use a default output folder on my desktop, and to not prompt for a filename.  I have a loop in MS Access VBA that sends about 3000 individual reports to the PDF Writer, one after the next after the next.  Each one has a different filename and eventually it prints all my reports.  Recently I have been getting an error from MS Access that says "Error 2212.  Could not print your report."  It stops the print run and I have to reset and pick up where it left off.  Sometimes it prints 50 sometimes it prints 2500 before it hits that error.  Sometimes it takes 5 or  tries to get the job completed.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be going on?
    Access 2003 SP3 on Windows XP Pro SP3, each upgraded with all MS Windows/Office updates.  Adobe Acrobat 7, upgraded to 8, upgraded incrimentally to 8.14
    Thank you for any advice. . .

  • PDF Export - Cannot Access External Data

    I've exported a simple live office enabled dashboard to PDF and stored this locally on my pc.  When I open the file and change a dropdown value (which forces a refresh of the LiveOffice content), I get the following message before I get any BOBJ login screen:
    To access external data this file must be trusted.  For a PDF file, in Adobe Reader, click Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)...
    Almost helpful, doesn't tell me what to do when I get there, however, I've added the File, the Folder Path, and the Host to the  Privileged Locations box, but I still get the error message.  What else should I be doing?
    Exporting the same dashboard to PowerPoint file stored locally, and adding POWERPNT.EXE to the Flash Security settings, I can successfully login and refresh the dashboard.
