    Lightbulb Firefox Plugin - Similar to Adobe PDF reader in Firefox

    Hi,

    I am able to open PDF files in Firefox browser. The PDF file opens in a separate container in Firefox.

    Wondering if someone can throw some light in its development using VB.Net platform..

    Thanks

    Not entirely clear what you're looking for but if you want to create a pdf reader/editor in VB you'll need a third party package such as iTextSharp.
    As the 6-dimensional mathematics professor said to the brain surgeon, "It ain't Rocket Science!"

    Hi Dunfiddlin,

    When a pdf file available as a link in web is opened in firefox, the pdf document opens in a firefox tab in a PDF wrapper as shown in the attachment.

    I am wondering if a similar wrapper can be built in VB.Net for opening say simple text.

    Thanks
