Database Project: Full Summary

Full Summary

As you work on the Access Database assignment, remember you need to submit it as a single pdf file – you need to combine the multiple sections into a single file.

Create the PDF Files

Modern versions of Windows have pdf printer software available that you can choose when you do File - -> Print. Macintosh has always had printing to pdf available from its print dialogue box, at the pdf menu in the lower-left hand corner. Anything you can print to paper, such as from Word or Access, you can print to pdf.

If you have an old version of Windows (such as 7), then you will need to download a free pdf printer connection. In the past, Microsoft did not cooperate much with the rest of the world, but they do now, so from now on print to pdf is included with Windows.

Merge the PDF Files into a Single PDF Document

To turn in the full assignment, merge these different pdf files into a single file and place only this single merged file into the assignments folder. For full credit, place the pdf's in the sequence of the 8 steps shown above. Do not turn in the database Access file.

Do an online pdf merge with ilovepdf.com (or do a web search for other free options).

or

If you use a Mac, one way to collate and order the pdf's is to view the files in the Finder and select the respective files by clicking on one, and then holding the CMD key down to select each of the others, or the SHIFT key to select a range of files with a single click. Double-click on one of the selected files and all the files open as a single collated file in the Preview app. The files will, however, be arranged in alphabetical order. To arrange in the proper order, go to View --> Thumbnails and drag each file icon as needed to reorder. For more information: Apple pdf merge support.
