    I don't believe the .pdf file type exposes an underlying record set by which to filter - - but I am not an Adobe developer and that would be the place to begin.

    If you are talking about pushing data to a pdf file from access, it is possible. You are going to want to google IAC or Interapplication Communication with VBA. There is a handful of resources available, but not much more than that.

    One requirement is that you are going to need to know the names of the fields in the pdf form.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
