>>>I have a report that I am passing a filepath and filename to a BMP file. This works fine. However, I have been asked to see if I can add a page from a PDF file. Does anyone know a way to do that? Pass a page from a PDF to a VFP report to show it in the report. I'm tempted to tell them to take a screen shot and save it to a BMP file. Also, I recall that whenever I setup another report like this a long time ago I found that using a JPG or other format (not a BMP), didn't work. If I recall correctly the report took too much RAM when it ran.

>>Rich Simpson's MERE - see at http://www.mindseyeinc.com/ReportEngine/index.htm - was capable of mixing a lot of fruit into a single bag last time I saw it (and that was four years ago), but I'm not sure you can extract a page from a PDF. We had a discussion here just a week or two ago, about PDF being one of those write-only formats... it's just my braindead hour when I can't find it. Naomi! You there?

Ok, I looked through couple of threads and the only remotely relevant I found at
message #1019408

There is also a chapter on Adobe Automation in MegaFox book, but I quickly scanned through it and don't see code to extract particular page from PDF, though the chapter has lots of other useful info. You can get it from http://www.hentzenwerke.com/samplechapters/zsamplechapters.htm in case you don't have a book.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
