Thanks for the lightening response, Al. Sorry my question was not better
phrased but I <AM> using the built-in PDF features on the Acrobat ribbon.

The Acrobat ribbon is a paid for 3rd party purchase. If you using the
Acrobat ribbon, then that is paid for and 3rd party add-in for ms-access.
(you don't need to purchase nor use Acrobat anymore. the ability to create
PDF files is now part of ms-access.

My
reports--in Access--have all the pretty default blues and so forth, but
whereas you can disable color PDF creation

Actually what I said is I been un-able to turn off color PDF's when using
the built in options. In other words, if you use the access built-in PDF
create (NOT THE Acrobat ribbon), then I am un-able to disable color!

I, on the other hand, can not
find a way to inable it. I have navigated through a lot of complicated
tabs
on the dialog box which opens from Acrobat Preferences tool button but to
no
avail.

I might have messed up in my communication to you. My whole post was
actually about the fact that you don't need 3rd party PDF tools anymore. PDF
ability is NATIVE to ms-access 2007 now.

As mentioned, try using the built in PDF feature, and NOT the Acrobat one.

If you must continue using the Acrobat one, then why not try their support
groups? After all you paid money for something that you really did not need
to purchase! So, the acrobat products are needed for ms-access 2007. Access
2007 has pdf ability built in now without installing or having to purchases
Acrobat. However, the pdf options ONLY work if you have office sp2 or later
installed.

So, my suggesting here is to try the built-in PDF creating option. If you
don't have sp2 installed for office, then you not see the PDF option on the
report ribbon (when in print preview mode). You can download and install the
PDF system here:

Note that the built in PDF option is NOT SELECTED BY PRINTING the report.
You do NOT print to the Acrobat printer with this new built in PDF feature.
the PDF (and XPS) option will appear in the print preview menu of the
report. Selecting this option will allow you to SAVE the report as a pdf
file.

Again:
This built-in option is NOT accomplished by using a printer driver and you
do NOT need to purchase nor install Acrobat.
