    Access Reports to different file format

    Hi,



    I need a VBA code that will export my access reports to different file format (.xls,.PDF, .doc). For now, I want to convert my report to PDF. Would appreciate if you could help me on this one. Thank you.

    Prior to 2007 there was no native way to export to PDF. Many of us use:

    Noted.
    We have a Jaws PDF Creater driver installed on our computers, is it possible to automate (using VBA) this option to save my access report to PDF? I was thinking of creating command button and it will display the pdf save window (w/ file name and path). Don't know how to do it. Help.

    When I was working with pdf files, I would set the default printer to the adobe writer, it would then produce the save file prompt when I went to print. See the code repository for code on changing the printer: https://www.accessforums.net/code-re...nter-7745.html

    Otherwise there is code on several websites for saving to a pdf file.

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