Among the usual caveats:
1) It's a work in progress. I.e., I haven't polished the UI much and
much needs to be done with the technique in general.
2) It works with Adobe Reader, but I have not tested it with any other
pdf readers.
3) 'Rebuild' message still exists (IMO, harmless).
4) It is supplied "as is" and "use at your own risk," but it seems
pretty safe to me.
5) No error handling included, so remember to close that Adobe Reader
file or textfile before trying to create it or do some programming
checks.
6) I provide no guarantee of support.
7) It was written in a hurry so it may still have a few bugs.
8) My function for finding the Adobe Acrobat Reader assumes the default
directory location was used during the install.
I didn't even put in an AutoExec macro so start with frmViewPDFLayout.
After converting to your version, if you have the free Adobe Acrobat
Reader you're ready to explore. Please let me know if anyone has
trouble converting to a later version of Access. Enjoy.

Thanks Stephen,
I appreciate the encouragement. I think you'll like the multipage
PDF's, inclusion of images and compression of images and command
streams even more. I look forward to addressing any questions or
suggestions you might have.
