look at this , it may helps
btw , I had an OCX control and used to run in vb6 .I'll look for it and try to send it here if it's working .

Try this:

Process.Start("c:\folder\folder\mypdf.pdf")

VB is smart enough to know that this is a pdf document and open the assocciated pdf displayer (if you have one installed)

I think!

Thanks. But I don't want to create a new pdf, I just want to display one that already exists, but display it within a form.

Is this possible?

as far as I know , it's possible .There's a VB6 OCX and DLL that can show pdf files .I must look for it now

Many thanks - I've looked at that thread and will give pdf.ocx a try.

Right-click on the toolbox and then click Customize, add
the COM component, Acrobat Control for ActiveX, and then
in the code put:

AxPdf1.src = "filename.pdf"
