Ah well, can't have everything I guess...
Terry I thought it did work with PDF using WFS or DDB as long as you did not export it again (it was not readable by Acrobat anymore complained it was corrupt). >From memory this issue was because of the header appended to the top of the PDF file by the access database system used by 99SE when it was imported/linked, it overwites the expected %PDF header, and if you exported it again, Acrobat seen a different header than %PDF and deemed the file unreadable. I am quite sure it was OK as long as you did not export it again. I will try it again in a bit to double check.
