I want to save a pdf saved as a JPEG or TIF in the background so I can add db fields on top of the PDF. Ive inserted the PDF as a JPEG and TIF. When I print it, it looks pixalated and the black has a brown tint. and it also is five pages instead of 1. Is there a setting to increase its resolution and where might it be? Also, how to get it to be just the 1 page. (legal size).

Thanks.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Did you use an image control to hold the pdf? You are printing a report, not a form?
You cannot alter the resolution in Access, AFAIK. Other than having parts of the report/form extend beyond the page margins, I don't know of any reason to get 5 different pages.

If you have pdf writer, Access can link to the form fields if that's of any interest.
