Embedded PDF Viewer Control
This article is about how to open PDF file in access using VBA code using ActiveX control.
We can embed PDF file using Adobe Acrobat PDF control reader. In this article we are embedding PDF control reader and we are place all the reader control on Microsoft Access form. So for this firstly we are insert a blank form from the toolbar as shown in fig 1.1.
Now select ActiveX control from designing toolbox as shown in Fig 1.2.
After click on ActiveX control a pop up will come and we have insert Adobe PDF reader control So this control will help me to read the PDF file as shown in Fig .1.3.
Now on the form design view we can see PDF reader control. And make the form more customized.
So client can view PDF document and can use control easily. So we have to add buttons and dropdowns as shown in Fig 1.4. And at the event procedures we have write appropriate VBA code to add functionality for these controls.
When we are giving the path of the PDF file then form will view look like as Fig 1.5 in Form View. And on right side of form there are different control listed below.
- Show Toolbar
- Show Scroll bars
- Zoom in and zoom out
- Page mode and layout mode
- View (Position)
- Move to first, previous, next, last page and you can also specify page number to move to that page
1. In form view when we are view the PDF file it will not show toolbar so we have to click on Show toolbar button and vice-versa, this will show toolbar on PDF file as shown like Fig 1.6
2. Next button is show scroll bar button on form so when we click on button then scroll bar will show on PDF file as shown in Fig 1.7 and if want hide this scroll bar we have to click again.
3. Next button is Zoom in, so according to need we can Zoom In the file as shown in Fig 1.8. We can use «CTRL +» Key also.
4. Similarly zoom out button, we can change then view according to need as shown in Fig 1.9. We can use «CTRL — «Key also.
5. Next button is page mode, so we can change page mode according to need. In the dropdown we have three modes bookmarks, thumb, none as shown in Fig 2.1.
6. Next button is layout mode. In the dropdown we have following modes:-
- DontCare
- SinglePage
- OneColumn
- TwoColumnLeft
- TwoColumnRight
So we can choose any mode according to need as shown in Fig 2.2.
7. Next button is view. In the dropdown we have following view modes as follow:-
- Fit (Both horizontal and vertical)
- FitH (Fit Horizontal)
- FitV (Fit Vertical)
- FitB (Fit within Bounding Box both horizontally and vertically)
- FitBH (Fit within Bounding Box horizontally)
- FitBV (Fit within Bounding Box vertically)
So we can choose any mode according to need as shown in Fig 2.3.
8. Next button is «Go to page» button as shown in Fig 2.4 .So we have just put the number inside text box and click on button then control will automatically go on that particular page.
9. These are bound controls as shown in Fig 2.5 .Button listed below:-
- First
- Previous
- Next
- Last
So according to need when want move make use of these button we can easily.
Complete VBA code for the procedure is given here: —
Dim ZoomFactor As Double
Private Sub cboLayoutMode_AfterUpdate()
AcroPDF0.setLayoutMode (cboLayoutMode)
End Sub
Private Sub cboPageMode_AfterUpdate()
AcroPDF0.setPageMode (cboPageMode)
End Sub
Private Sub cboView_AfterUpdate()
AcroPDF0.setView (cboView)
End Sub
Private Sub cmdFirst_Click()
AcroPDF0.gotoFirstPage
End Sub
Private Sub cmdGoToPage_Click()
AcroPDF0.setCurrentPage (CInt(txtPage))
End Sub
Private Sub cmdLast_Click()
AcroPDF0.gotoLastPage
End Sub
Private Sub cmdNext_Click()
AcroPDF0.gotoNextPage
End Sub
Private Sub cmdPrevious_Click()
AcroPDF0.gotoPreviousPage
End Sub
Private Sub cmdShowScrollBars_Click()
If cmdShowScrollBars Then
AcroPDF0.setShowScrollbars (True)
cmdShowScrollBars.Caption = «Hide Scroll Bars»
Else
AcroPDF0.setShowScrollbars (False)
cmdShowScrollBars.Caption = «Show Scroll Bars»
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdShowToolBar_Click()
If cmdShowToolBar Then
AcroPDF0.setShowToolbar (True)
Me.cmdShowToolBar.Caption = «Hide ToolBar»
Else
AcroPDF0.setShowToolbar (False)
Me.cmdShowToolBar.Caption = «Show ToolBar»
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdZoomIn_Click()
ZoomFactor = ZoomFactor + 100
AcroPDF0.setZoom (ZoomFactor)
End Sub
Private Sub cmdZoomOut_Click()
If ZoomFactor

How to attach and view pdf documents to access database
I have a very simple database in access, but for each record i need to attach a scanned in document (probably pdf). What is the best way to do this, the database should not just link to a file on the pc, but should copy and keep the file with it, meaning if the original file goes missing the database is moved or copied, the file should still be accessable from within the Database. Is This possible? and what is the easiest way of doing it? If is should i can write a macro, i just dont know where to start. and also when i display a report of the table, i would like to just see thumbnails of the documents. Thank you.

As the other answerers have noted, storing file data inside a database table can be a questionable practice. That said, I wouldn’t personally rule it out, though if you are going to take that option, I’d strongly suggest splitting out the file data into its own table in its own backend file. For example:
- Create a new database file called Scanned files.mdb (or Scanned files.accdb ).
- Add a single table called Scans with fields such as FileID (AutoNumber, primary key), MainTableID (matches whatever is the primary key of the main table in the main database file), FileName (Text), FileExt (Text) and FileData (‘OLE object’, really just a BLOB — don’t actually use OLE Objects because they will bloat the database horribly).
- Back in the frontend, add a reference to Scans as a linked table.
- Use a bit of VBA to upload and extract files from the Scans table (if you’re interested in the mechanics of this, post a separate question).
- Use the VBA Shell routine (if you must) or ShellExecute from the Windows API (= the better option IMO) to open extracted data.
If you are using the newer ACCDB format, then you have the ‘attachment’ field type available as smk081 suggests. This basically does most of the above steps for you, however doing things ‘by hand’ gives you greater flexibilty — for example, it allows giving each file a ‘DateScanned’ or ‘DateEffective’ field.
That said, your requirement for thumbnails will require explicit coding whatever option you take. It might be possible to leverage the Windows file previewing API, though I’d be certain thumbnails are a definite requirement before investigating this — Access VBA is powerful enough to encourage attempts at complex solutions, but frequently not clean and modern enough to allow fulfilling them in a particularly maintainable fashion.

Здравствуйте, уважаемые форумчане! Не могли бы вы помочь в следующей проблеме.
Я открываю из access файл pdf следующим кодом:
Файл нормально открывается но выдается сообщение Adobe Reader’a:
There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.
Закрываешь сообщение и всё нормально.
Почему выскакивает данное сообщение и как с ним бороться?
Заранее спасибо.

Отображение предварительного просмотра PDF в отчете MS Access с использованием пути к файлу PDF
Я новичок в MS Access. У меня есть расположение файла PDF в текстовом поле. Я хочу, чтобы при доступе к отчету загружался конкретный предварительный просмотр файла pdf в этом отчете (pdf читается из местоположения файла). Как я могу этого добиться? Пожалуйста помоги?
2 ответа
Вы можете отобразить PDF-файл в отчете, преобразовав его страницы в изображения и отобразив их. С wsh.Run вы можете извлечь во время Report_Load событие, затем сохраните пути к страницам во временной таблице.
- Установите Irfanview с установленным PDF-плагином.
- Во Front-End создайте таблицу с именем TmpExtractedPages с одним Short-Text поле с именем Path для хранения путей извлеченных страниц.
- Создайте отчет с помощью Record-Source.
- Добавьте Picture-Control в Detail-Section (без Header/Footer-Section), который умещается на странице, и привяжите его к Path
- Поместите следующий код в Report_Load событие
Вы указываете путь к PDF-файлу, который будет отображаться как OpenArgs аргумент по открытому отчету:
Имейте в виду, что добавление, а затем удаление записей во временную таблицу приведет к раздуванию вашей базы данных, если вы не сжимаете ее позже (или просто развертываете новую копию Front-End при запуске, как я).

а зачем такой большой код, если открытие проходит в иной программе (не в аксесе) ? Можно же в одну строку функцию запуска файла написать. Чем не устраивает?
