There are third party tools to create pdf files. However you need to
basically code how the output appears in the pdf. Access reports are
usually printed to pdf.

Best bet is to deal with the distribution of your application so it also
installs the pdf printer driver and at runtime changes to the pdf driver and
changes back to whatever printer was choosen.

You can buy our code if need to plug into your MDB to create pdfs, but it
just works with a few of the pdf drivers.

My two cents,

Hi,
I am searching a solution to create PDFs from Access-Report without a
PDF-Printer.
All solutions I have found (Adobe, Ghostscript, Fineprint....) need a
installed PDF-Printer-Driver.

My Application will be installed on hundreds of different machines, so I
didn't want to get in trouble with all the administrators to install the
right driver.

It is no Problem to pay for a professional solution, but all controls I
found need a installed PDF or EPS Printer.

Perhaps Stephan Lebans way to create native EMF from SNP files is a way
(Report - EMF -PDF)?
But Stephens EMF-solution has some small restrictions :-(.

Any hints ?

Or is there somebody who writes such a tool for cash?
