dsiplay multipage pdf in an Access control

[chuck555]

Is there a control with which to view all pages of a pdf?



The Access unbound object frame control only displays the first page. Did not find a property to allow viewing the other pages.

Need the pdf to display in a form control (rather than Acrobat) to restrict user access but also for continuity of use.

Not sure about earlier versions, it is possible in 2010 using a web browser control. There is an activex web browser control in older versions which may accomplish the above.
Try Me.WebBrowserControl.Navigate (PathToPDFFile)

Made some progress

The Controls toolbar, under the "More Tools" option, has the Active X control "Adobe PDF Reader". Created a new form and placed "Adobe PDF Reader" onto the form. In design mode, the pdf icon displays in the center of the control.

What code is needed to display the pdf file when the form is loaded? (something like "Me.??????.LoadFile Pathway+FileName.pdf" )?

My analog cpu (the brain) had a lockup moment.

"Me.ControlName.LoadFile Pathway+FileName.pdf

I now have exactly what I need to display pdf files inside a control on an Access form.

Width and height are runtime only changes and after several combinations, got the right dimensions. Also at runtime, right click on the top of the control, was able to turn off tool bars and functions till only page select and zoom in-out display. With the disabled right mouse key, users can not turn the other control functions back on.
