You'll probably have to buy a PDF viewer control to embed into your application. Your other option would be to use a webbrowser control in your application, and load the PDF into it, so that all the functionality is available to you. This assumes, of course that the PDF plugins for the browser are present.

You can embed Adobe Reader in your apps via the ActiveX component that is installed on your machine along with the reader. You can add it to your VS Toolbox from the COM Components tab. Anyone who has Abobe Reader installed will then be able to use your app to view PDF documents. If you want something that does not require Adobe Reader then you may like to check out the iText# link in my signature. I'm not 100% sure what its capabilities are. I know it can generate PDFs but I don't know what else.

Oh yeah, the PDF ActiveX. :forehead:
