Hi,

You could use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
take a look at it in the MSDN

Alternately, you can host the web browser control in your C# application and
load this .pdf file into the browser control.

Hi,

IMHO it's better if you use Process.Start() it will open acrobat reader and
you will see the document in another window.

Unless that you want to see the pdf inside your application I would go for
the Process.Start method
