Re: [MS_AccessPros] How to use web browser control to display pdf in form.

 

Very interesting. The good news here is I might not be loosing it!

Their original development was done in 2003, but they said they were up to 2013,

Their motivation was get bloat out of the file which didn't entirely make sense to me.

On the machine I have it on it is about 350 MB which they are expecting to reduce to about 20 MB. Which I'm not about to do either. I think I have a lot to learn about 2016.

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.
