Outputting Reports into PDF file

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone can assist me in outputting 6 reports into
a pdf file? I created a macro that generates the 6 reports and right
now it's saved as a snapshot on my drive. Any ideals or sample will
be greatly appreciated.

Install PDF Creator (Freeware) from
http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator

This installs a PDF Print Driver onto your computer. Then, just print
to that.

There are a number of options in the program for automating the output,
if you want to use it in a situation where you are running a number of
reports.

for me..

Once you've set up the report to work with the PDFCreator printer, all
you need to do is:

DoCmd.OpenRepor t strReportName, acViewNormal

Or just run your Macro.

Or are you perhaps trying to do something other then what you stated in
your question?

Hello Phong.

In addition to the other suggestions you have received there is
another option if you have Access 2007. You can download and install
the Microsoft PDF add-in from the following URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

This will allow you to save any Access report, form, query, etc. in
PDF form and its free. It works with the other Office 2007
applications too--e.g., Word, Excel.

I have a long running python cgi which in the end returns a link to a pdf file. While it runs it generates a log that uses stdout right into the html. I use the sys.stdout.flush() to make this log output relatively realtime. The log, however, has grown too long. I wish to output it instead into a textarea. I thought I could just use the textarea tags before the output starts. This works, but my output is no longer "real time" even...

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports.

I have a major doubt about outputting text in ASP .NET when using code behind. I know most of the output you gain from a code behind file (.aspx.cs) is outputted to the Webform (.aspx) using labels, datagrids, datalists...

An example would be when...

Hi So I'm fine with outputting to file from C#. But... as soon as I create an executable and move the file it no longer works - in fact it crashes due to security settings of some sort - whereever i put it. This is utterly useless for me as I need other people to be able to use this executable file on their computers. Can anyone help??? Thank you Heather

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...
