Notes on PDF files for Access export files
The access export files use the data type OLE Object for the columns which contain PDF files for the impact templates, impact case studies and environment templates. Microsoft Access stores binary data in the OLE Object data type as OLE Objects (a technology Microsoft in general no longer supports) however it is difficult to write binary data to these columns as OLE Object. We have written files to theses columns by assuming they are equivalent to the VARBINARY(MAX) data type. For an example of how to use Microsoft Access to retrieve the files in columns, see the Microsoft knowledge base article ACC: Reading, Storing, & Writing Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) located at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;103257&Product=acc
Note: Some knowledge of Visual Basic is required in order to achieve this.
