Displaying PDF's in a report

[lmbylsma]

I have a database of several fields, one of which is a PDF document.
I've tried including the document 2 different ways, embedded or linked.
However, with both ways I have this problem where when I go to view or
print the report, instead of printing out the PDF documents, it prints
out PDF icons! I can't seem to find a way around this. There's an
option "display as icon" which is UNCHECKED, so I don't understand why
it is doing this.



Basically the structure of the report should be that it prints the full
PDF document and uses the other fields in the table as a header.

Access does not handle PDF format as report format. For a
list of printable and viewable formats, select the report
in Access, then click EXPORT, under the File menu to see
the formats that you use for viewing and printing reports.

You can link to a PDF file but you cannot view or print
one from within Access.

Try storing the file path and file name complete in a hyperlink field, then
clicking on it will launch the program associated with its extension.
