When you install the acrobat reader, it adds an ActiveX to your computer. You can then insert this ActiveX component into a VFP form to display PDF's within your form.

I don't think you can insert this object into a report FRX....

Alternatively, you can create a browser object in your VFP form and let IE load the ActiveX itself. I suggest the first option would be cleaner and faster.

I strongly suggest you do NOT place the PDF into a General field - most of us save them into a sub-directory with a file name to match the record PK (or a similar strategy). I think the problem is table bloat (don't honestly remember).

>I am familiar with generating PDF files from VFox Reports, now I am faced with trying to go back the other way. Is anyone familiar with how I can take a .PDF file and either embed the pages into a General field to output with other data from a Fox Report or how to access Acrobat Reader (or any other PDF driver) from within Fox to alternate the printing of the Fox report with the .PDF?
