Can anyone help? I am trying to display Pdf files after searching an Access Db. On the results page I want to display the Id number, Title of pdf and the pdf file itself. I then want to open the pdf by clicking on it. Both search and results pages work Ok except that the pdf itself is displayed as spurious numbers. I cannot open the Pdf. I am using Win 2000 with Pws, Dreamweaver mx and Acrobat 5. In Access the Pdfs are stored as OLE objects, and can be opened from Access ok. Need help urgently please!

i suggest not storing the pdf in the DB, i would only store a link to the pdf, and do it this way! this would be alot more efficient! and keep your DB size way down!
