Default How do you build a Document Library (Database)?

My organization would like to build a database or library of pdf documents.
The goal is for users to do a query search, come up with a list of PDF
document links based on their query, and click onto a link which will open
the PDF document they prefer.

Is Access the right tool for this, or is Sharepoint better?

Also, are there any existing Access templates or free software that already
does this?

I noticed that nobody answered.

Yours would be a relatively simple application but which must be customized
to your needs. Depending on your other requirements, Access would probably
be a good tool, if you know how to use Access. In such cases looking for
a "template" is seldom useful.

If you are looking for help, you should probably repost, as you did not ask
for Access or applicaton help. In this post you only asked is Access is
suitable, and about your Sharepoint idea (in an Access forum) and for a
template.

Hope this helps a little.
