Topic: Access Report + PDFs + Word Docs + PNGs Posted: 07 May 15 at 4:59PM |
Hey all,
Thanks for this tool I just found it last night and I have made it work successfully but I am new to access and expanding its functionality is hurting my brain. The code to merge PDFs is at the bottom of a report I created. In this report it will look through the records and return multiple PDFs to merge. However, i'm not sure how I could add the report itself into the merged files? Files_To_Merge() is growing based on the amount of records it matches. If possible I would also need to merge .docx and .png files. Files needed to be merged and in order: Report that opens first multiple PNGs multiple PDFs it finds during the report_load one .docx ReDim Preserve Files_to_Merge(0 To UBound(strCharts)) Files_to_Merge(UBound(strCharts)) = GetDBPath & "Storyboards" & "\" & rs1![Program] & "\" & rs1![Customer] & "\" & rs1![AuthCode] & ".PDF" Dim strFilePath As String strFilePath = GetDBPath & "Storyboards" & "\" & Me.Program & "\" & CustomerName & "\" With oPDF TempBool = .Utility_Merge_PDF_Files(strFilePath & CustomerName & " Completed Storyboard", Files_to_Merge) If Not TempBool Then 'NOTES ON ERROR CODES for oPDF.ErrorLastDLL '401 - One of the Input File could not be opened '410 - One of the Input File could not be decrypted MsgBox "An Error Occured: " & .LastErrorDescription & vbCrLf & _ "Error Number =" & Str$(.LastErrorNumber) & vbCrLf & _ "DLL Error Number =" & Str$(.ErrorLastDLL), _ vbExclamation Else MsgBox "Merge Successful.", vbInformation End If End With Set oPDF = Nothing End Sub Tl;dr How can I add the current loaded report into th beginning of my Files_to_Merge array and add some PNGs and docx files to the end of the array. |

Hi Lance,
Unfortunately, PDF redirect only merges PDF files, and does not merge Word or PNG documents. You can try to use the Windows Command Line "print" verb to direct these to a PDF Batch printer for auto-conversion, and then you could merge them, but we are talking about some fairly significant code, some of which I included in the VB6 example. Sorry, I realize I am not being much help here, but that's the best I can do at this time. Best, |
