    Filling Adobe forms from Access using VBA

    The code as written requires Adobe Pro installed to work. For the download, I don't think you'll need to attach the library when Pro is already on the workstation, it's already done in this project, but you will for new projects. I tried the download with just Reader alone installed and it...

    Filling Adobe forms from Access using VBA

    I'm in the Army and we still manage property using archaic paper based forms from the 1980s. Fortunately these forms have transitioned over to PDFs and can use digital signatures (which is another key feature of the PDF that we need). I am unfamiliar with Crystal Reports but even if I did...

    Filling Adobe forms from Access using VBA

    This thread is a list of a few VBA tricks to getting information from an Access database to a PDF form. I wish I knew how to do this stuff about a decade ago for a big project I was working on, but the resources on how to do it were pretty limited at the time; I had to settle for Access Report...

    How do I use VBA to open an Attachment directly from record?

    When interfacing with attachments, the "double click" and the "Open" buttons open the attachment. From there the document can be edited and, when saved, it updates the attachment record directly. If user tried to close the "Attachments" window while the document was still open, the user is even...
