You don't really have to use ActivePDF to print. I think some people
actually load MS Office on the server and print through that via COM. What
you do is build a report in MS Access, and call Access via COM to print
through Adobe acrobat.
As you see, it can turn into a jury rig solution. In the end, it maybe
better just to purchase ActivePDF and print stright through to that using a
HTML template.
