Hello,

I need to be able to take information from a table in access, use this information to populate a PDF file, and then save the PDF file.

i.e. I have leads in a database and I want to pre-fill in application forms (PDF) for the clients.

I did some searching pertaining PDF, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Where should I start?

ok -
pointers
what version of Access are you using
anything beloow 2007 and it gets a bit code(y) i have not used 2007 yet - so unsure

anyway the easeist way to do this is just add a pdf printer
if you want it a bit more automated then you need to spend 1/2 hour looking throuh the code section and or the samples section of the forum -

this has been touched upon and code/samples have been done

in essesne you will need to identify the file you want - i presume it will be 1 record at a time and then a storage location

Thanks for the reply,

I can upgrade to Access 2007.

PDF printer will not wok as the application forms area already in PDF format and need to have data inserted into their text fields.

Weird ...
hang fire on the upgrade - there are still a few issues with 2007

re your problem - your gona need someone who actual knows what there are talking about rather than a blagger (Hacker) like me ..

best of luck
