PDF Viewer

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some way to display a PDF inside a form. I don't have to worry about editing or creating them, just displaying them. But I don't want to launch Acrobat to view it.

I've been Googleing for a while now, but most of the solutions I find are for creating PDFs.

Does anyone know of a good (preferably free, but it doesn't have to be) library that I can use to display a PDF in a form? Or is there some native capability?

Is there an adobe acrobat reader COM object you can use?
Reader is free, it might have an object for it?

Thanks a lot, you pointed me in the right direction.

In case anyone else needs the same solution, this forum post eventually led me to the answer I needed.

Adobe reader does have a COM object, and if you add it to your Toolbox (not through references) and then drag it to the form, it does the trick. It looks (actually I think that it is the same thing) the same as when you open a pdf in Internet Explorer.

Thanks for the help.
