    Access Form to PDF

    I am trying to export a form in Access to a PDF file but every time I run it, the PDF file appears blank. It just looks all white with no content whatsoever on the page. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?



    I would like to be able to create a PDF file of this form that I have in Access to use as a standalone form to just fill out and print. Is it possible?

    No. Reports export to PDF, not Forms. So it must be multi step; create a Report object from the Form - that is quite easy because you can use the Object 'Save As' feature....

    Then the form has the values - meaning then that the Report has the values - which is exported to PDF; you do have to open the Report to perform that export but you can close it immediately if you wish so that the users don't really need to view it - that is a user interface question.

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