Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Getting Access data into a PDF Template

You can have it as all pdf documents. But its more work. You need a C# project. Easiest is to create Word docx and have a OnCreate Trigger in SharePoint that automatically converts it into a PDF.

so because it is a university and we are under ferpa and other adherents and some people's lack of trust and understanding of these new technologies, I am limited. this may seem crazy but it is what it is. 

I have played with powerapp but putting something like this in production would be more of trying to pass a bill through legislation right now. it would be like trying to get the earth to stop turning. 

 

I once asked if i could get SQL server installed on my machine. considering we had bought SQL as a department. But they told me "SQL is a security risk" I said what???

We built a PowerApp that integrates with Access through SQL-Server with an option to sign report. Perhaps I’m not understanding correctly but why would use PDF for that?

Kind regards.

I’ve done that using Access many times in different client sites.

Check PHP Rad and Postgres.I am starting to move away from access and these technologies are my best picks.

Hello All,

We are trying to send out timesheets now that we are stuck at home. But the VP wants them to be fillable forms so that they can fill out hours and then sign and return. We have looked everywhere and are unable to get data into the template. Is there a way to do that? I did find a site that stated that it cannot be done, but where there is a cannot be done, there is a can be done. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
