What's inside those PDF files? Is it a scanned image, or an actual set of generated text?
If it's text, there are two other options you might consider: 1. Convert to RTF (if possible) and store that. Use a DBRichEdit control to display, this should work in a region. 2. If the customer can tell you what he's looking for in the PDF, perhaps you can actually have your application search _into_ the PDF and only display the row or rows he's looking for without requiring visual inspection. -- Larry
