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.

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.
