Unbound Object blurry

[Sym]

Hi

Im trying to insert a PDF document into my report using the Unbound object frame but when i print or export the whole report to a PDF that part of the report is very blurry. Is there a way to fix this or is there another method of importing a pdf document into my report?

thanks

Don't insert PDFs into reports. Blurr.
Either open them directly, or put in hyperlinks.

ok thats what i was afraid of....well let me put in more detail and see if there is another solution

What i need to do is incorporate my terms and conditions document into my report or attach it. The terms and conditions document is a controlled PDF company document, this cannot be changed.

I currently have two buttons on the report, one of them exports the report as a PDF to the company server the other opens up my email and puts the report in the attachments of the email as a pdf so, since there is not a way to import a PDF directly to the report then is there a way to add the pdf to the email and the export?

thanks

The BEST way, recreate the pdf text in Access and print it via subreport.

Thought of that too but that goes against our company quality control policy, since its a controlled document there can only be one version of it available, its made that way so there arnt multiple versions of the same document floating around and if there are revisions to said document only one version needs to be updated.

In order to use that document i need to link directly to it so any changes will be updated automatically. Sad part is, if it was a Word document it would be fine but since its a PDF im kinda screwed

I provide a client with print ready pdf's - its is sent direct to a printing company for them to print bound catalogues for distribution to retail outlets.

To get a sufficiently high dpi quality I have to print the report to adobe acrobat.

I suspect your company is printing to a standard pdf printer, perhaps even just the windows pdf printer where the dpi is perhaps 25% of what is required.

Suggest you ask whoever is responsible for the generation of the T&C's for them to use adobe acrobat or similar to generate the pdf to a higher dpi.

Even then you may still get some fuzziness when viewed on screen due to different resolutions, but if printing to paper, it should be better if you have set the print resolution to a high enough level.

Put your T & C's on your company website as a viewable pdf, put the link to that in your documents. When ISO /QC update the T & C's you don't need to do anything.

Better still store the path to the document in a system table, and look it up. That way you can refer to it hundreds of times in your system, and if the website location changes, you simply change the stored value in the system table once and all your references to it are updated automagically.
