-- Is there a way -- without buying a 3rd party control -- to have Access *display* an Acrobat PDF in a report or form? Let me be clear. I am not trying to create a PDF version of a report. I have a database which contains the filenames of PDFs. As I browse records in the database, I want the PDF for each record to be displayed (and within the window, to be scrollable, printable, etc.). As I move from record to record, I want the PDF which is displayed in the window to change accordingly. SQL Database Managed. Windows Azure Active Directory: Control Access to. Corporate credentials to access Windows Azure and handing control of the cloud back. I have an access app with. Cancels the action i don't know how to get the focus back to the active. When attempting to control another database in. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -- If not possible with the controls that ship with Access 2003, what 3d party control will do this that doesn't cost a fortune? We are a small law firm. We scan documents involved in litigation into PDFs. We need to create a database of information about the docuements which we can search and browse. We hate having to manually open the documents in Reader and hate even more having to manually close them in Reader. The question DrB1309 indicates in their answer will show you how to display a PDF, but not directly on a form. There are no native Access methods to do this either; you will have to purchase a 3rd party item to do this, and very few of these are guaranteed to work in Access. A good place to start is in the Developers section; they have a lot of information concerning this. You'll pay dearly for these controls, of course. The Adobe ActiveX control, while it doesn't specifically state that it works in Access, is supposed to do what you want (and is distributable, something you'll likely need even within your office), and other Access developers (including a few MVPs) claim to have no troubles with it in the Access environment. YOu'll have to ahve the full version of Adobe, not the reader, but I'd imagine that's something most law offices would already have. >>The question DrB1309 indicates in their answer will show you how to display a PDF, but not directly on a form. Not what I was looking for. >>There are no native Access methods to do this either; you will have to purchase a 3rd party item to do this.A good place to start is in the Developers section; they have a lot of information concerning this. You'll pay dearly for these controls, of course. I was afraid of that. I'd already done some looking at planetpdf.com, which instilled depression. And very few of these are guaranteed to work in Access. Even more depressed. >>The Adobe ActiveX control. Is supposed to do what you want Could you please give the specific name of the 'Adobe ActiveX control' and whether it ships with Access and/or Adobe or must be separately obtained? It may seem obvious to you, but it's not to me. >>YOu'll have to ahve the full version of Adobe, not the reader, but I'd imagine that's something most law offices would already have. You are correct. We have Acrobat Pro licenses for everyone in the office (getting depressed again). I'd think that most law firms do as well. >> >>The Adobe ActiveX control.

It may seem obvious to you, but it's not to me. Following up.
