    Do you have Acrobat Reader installed or did you just download the dll?

    Hi frosty16,

    In what do you try to view this pdf file?

    I've read somewhere that a Richtextbox can't display a pdf file.

    Wkr,

    Are you running VS as Administrator?

    It works fine for me when adding the control to my toolbox and dropping on a form.
