Here's what users are say about ACG Soft's PDF Library for the Microsoft Access application:

"It works flawlessly - we can now generate reports in PDF format directly in Access."
- H. Arnet, Walnut Creek, CA

"Thanks for making a great product.  One of our products (Access based of course) is a Catalog Generator, and some of our clients build 700 page catalogs.  To get their books to press, they were having to name and print each page, ONE PDF AT A TIME!  Within ten minutes of downloading your demo, I had our software producing all 700 PDF pages in just 25 minutes."
-T. Vickory, Tampa FL

"Great tool...Our customers are now getting PDF e-Bills. It takes just minutes to generate the complete billing cycle with over 50,000 records, 200 files merged into 80 and e-mailed to each customer with personalized letters.  This really was worth the price."
