Output access reports as JPG to display in My Pictures screensaver

[ROK]

Hi,

I have been tasked with creating a database to log employee suggestions and then automatically present reports around the site. I have developed the database and it works OK and can output *.PDF reports, but I'm having problems with how to display these reports.
My idea was to output the reports automatically as *.TIFF or *.JPG files and have them stored in a folder that the My Pictures screensaver uses. The reports (in fact, any site report stored in this folder) can then be shown on any screen dotted around the site when it goes into screensaver mode. However I can't find any way to output/convert to a picture file.
The other option is to create a webpage that rotates through the saved PDFs, but this isn't ideal as the PC users will have to load the webpage to display the reports.
I may be thinking about this in entirely the wrong way - does anyone have any ideas that can help please?

Thank you

Rory

I sincerely believe that the largest reading frequency would be obtained by custom printing the reports on an appropriate medium http://www.justtoiletpaper.com/customnew.shtml

Ha!
Seriously though, can anyone offer an alternative that might acheive the same goal - automatic output of reports to a display system? I know no-one will spend time reading them (and have mentioned this), but thiks will allow me to complete the project as management want it done.

this might be on completely the wrong track, but if you use the Snipping Tool, you can save what's on screen as a JPEG.... or of course, there's always good old Alt-PrtScr...
not sure if there's a way to automate either of those?

If you are looking for Screen shot saving into a JPEG file.. Few months back I posted a working Demo of Print Screen to Image file in the Code Repository section, have a look at it..

I hope that would help you..
