    You can use FileStream to read any file as binary data, or just call File.ReadAllBytes.

    iTextSharp will allow you to manipulate PDF files in code but I'm not sure it will render them for you. You could buy some other PDF component but Adobe Reader is virtually ubiquitous so that would be the easiest option.
