Embedding a linked document in a report (1 Viewer)

[cricketbird]

I'm trying to display a hyperlinked document (currently a mix of Word and PDF docs, but I can force users to use one format if needed) in an Access report.

So far, I can create an Edge Browser control that correctly displays a Word or PDF document (the network filepath is in the ControlSource) in Report view, but neither Word nor PDF shows up in Print Preview. In Print Preview (or when actually printing), PDFs show up as black squares and Word docs show up as gibberish wingdings characters.

I tried using an Unbound Object Frame but am a little confused about how to specify all the parameters correctly. I've tried a bunch of things I found online but just get a blank rectangle, so I assume I'm doing something wrong.

Any advice on including a linked document within a report?

Maybe take a screenshot programmatically and replace the web browser control with an image control that shows the screenshot.

Just an idea.
