hi Patty,
you're welcome
I'm using 2013. It doesn't work -- at least not in the couple hours I tried. I read it quit working in 2010 -- so the version to try would be 2007? Or get the ActiveX control ...

Very interesting. The good news here is I might not be loosing it!
hi Patty,
I also tried showing an HTML file pointing to a PDF using <object> but Access blocks the content because it could be "dangerous" -- so perhaps Microsoft is just keeping us "safe" by not allowing it anymore.
"To help protect your security, your web browser has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer"
also tried using <embed> instead of <object> but I couldn't get it to work either
~~~
Displaying a PDF with a Web Browser Control might still work with Access 2007.
Sorry I don't have better news for you. I did some searching and others are disappointed this doesn't work anymore too.

This is extremely helpful. I was working on a machine that I have 2016 on (2013 previously) . It's 2:30 AM and I've woken up thinking I should try this on a machine with only 2013.I think I'll take this link and open it on another machine first.Thank you very much!

hi Patty,
If there is a way to do it, I couldn't figure it out. I do see OLD examples of doing it -- but the web browser control also used to play videos and doesn't do that anymore, so maybe this doesn't work anymore either. Neither web browser control will render a PDF inside Access (not saying it isn't possible, just that I couldn't do it -- if you figure it out, share!) You can try it yourself and show the client. There is a sample database here:
http://www.msaccessgurus.com/tool/WebBrowserControl/WebBrowserControl_DisplayImages_s4p.zip
This example was created to show how to display images on the web in Access, but you can add another record (in the only table that is there) with the path and filename of a PDF, or the URL of a PDF.
There are 2 forms, one for each of the web browser control types you can create.
Now if the client wants to convert PDFs to JPG, PNG, or other image format, it could work this way ...
have an awesome day,
crystal

Sadly, the client is insisting on using MS Web browser. I'm so stuck!

hi Patty,
perhaps the ActiveX control from Foxit reader?
