[RESOLVED] Loading PDF files into my project as images...

[Sourcebob CodePance]

I know that in the "Insertable Objects" tab on the Components window, that there is "Adobe Acrobat Document," but that isn't really what I'm looking for. I'm not sure what the "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0" (created an error when I tried to use it) is in the "Controls" tab.

Here is the functionality that I need:

- read how many pages are in a PDF file
- import each page as a background into a picturebox



I saw this on StackOverflow regarding converting PDF's to TIFF's, so I'm not sure if this would be the best way to go? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...rt-pdf-to-tiff

I also saw this: http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/c...age-to-pdf.php

This one looked promising, but it appears to be for .NET: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...-c1d98a90a2a2/



I'll be working on this, but anything to point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
