Exporting reports to PDF

[techkenny1]

Hi,
Ive had a look at the report archives to see how reports can be exported to PDF, but so many there!
What I need to do is to be able to meet customers request by forwarding invoices by PDF, then by email.
How easy is this to do? For example on a day by day basis we would create some 50 invoices, but they would be divided into several companies. Would each invoice have to be converted independantly according to company.? I'm just not sure how to go about this.

Many thanks

Hi Techkenny1,
I am assuming that your invoices are a report from an Access app.
I had a similar requirement and solved it programmatically using ConvertReportToPDF from this website. Once it is installed into your app, it's just one line of code to output the report as a PDF file.

Otherwise you could try DeskPDF (google it) if you want to do it on an ad-hoc basis. That also works well for me.
