Reading PDF in VB app. - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Hi,
I would like to have users read a pdf manual in my vb program. They should
select text parts and then push a button so that they can save the important
parts of a pdf file (text) into a database (wich should be done through a
sort of copy/paste command).
Somebody already told me to use the pdf.ocx but I don't have a clue what to
do with it.
If somebody could help me on my way how to display a pdf file in my vb
program it would be a big step forward in my little project.

Thank you for your time...

Best advice I can offer is add pdf.ocx to your project, then open the
object browser and browse the member list of the Pdf class.
