PDF And Mail
Class Library for Microsoft Access

April, 2011.  After 16 years of creating and marketing add-ons and code libraries for Microsoft Access, ACG Soft has decided to close its business.  We will not be releasing any new or updated versions of our products for Access 2010 or following versions.

To all our loyal customers we wish to say thank you for purchasing and using our products over the years.   We will continue to provide limited support for a period of time over the next few months and will at some point shut down our support e-mail that fields inquiries.

ACG Soft's PDF and Mail class library allows Access applications to easily produce Adobe Acrobat® PDF files from Access reports and to create whole reporting packages.  It also extends the functionality and ease of sending e-mail with multiple attachments from within Access using numerous mail systems.  Last Updated: 22 December 2008
