reproducing PDF files in Access

hi - is there a way to import a PDF document (a fillable form) into msAccess
to build a report - to avoid having to manually create a replica of the
form?

Unfortunately, Access Report Templates are (under the hood) structured
very differently from the final output that they produce - I know of
no easy way to convert from any other document format into Access
Report Template format.

The easiest way to do this is to take the PDF form you have and to export it
as a JPEG, which you can do in full Acrobat. Then, apply this image as a
background image on your report and overlay fields on top of the form image.

How well does that approach cope with different screen resolutions,
different printer margins, etc.?

Peter:

The image is sized to the report, which responds politely to screen
resolutions etc.
