Export Report to PDF

[cuddles]

I have a bitmap at the top of my report page and when I send the report to the printer, the bitmap prints out just fine, but if I save as a pdf, the bitmap does not show up at the top of the first page. I have the bitmap in the header. I cannot seem to find a way in my docmd to make sure the bitmap shows up on that top page.

Here is my code:

Private Sub pdf_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "ReportQ1", acFormatPDF, myReportOutput, , , , acExportQualityPrint
End Sub

Does the BMP appear in print preview?

That is correct and it works for me.
But make sure the property of your image (format tab) has DISPLAY WHEN = always.

Yes it appears in the print preview and yes I have display when = always. I am exporting to PDF to save and that is when it does not appear. I just tested it on all my reports and it is our logo they want on PDFs

I just used the wizard to create a logo in the Report Header and I also created an "Insert Picture" in the Report Header. I used your code behind a button and it worked for me, both times. I even made sure I used BMP as a source.

Then it must be something to do with the save as a PDF option. The code I have behind it is:

Private Sub PDF_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "ReportQ1", acFormatPDF, myReportOutput, , , , acExportQualityPrint
End Sub

Ok, well it is not working for me. I even redid it. So, there is either something wrong with the PDF code or maybe my version of Adobe does not support it. If that is the case then no one in the org if they save as PDF will ever see our logo.

... I even redid it...

If "redoing it" means you are unable to duplicate what I did on my machine, using my tables, using my reports then, yes, I would guess there is a problem with the adobe dll's/printer drivers.

I suggest isolating your DB and working on another DB with test data.... like I did to test your code.

I found the issue. The picture was not named bmp. It was named png. So, it was not working. It works now. Thanks

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue
