I am searching for a good way to display a pdf inside a windows forms application. Basically the application will have a ListView control showing pdfs and when a person clicks on an item a larger view of the pdf should be rendered in a panel next to the ListView.<br />
<br />
I have thought about:<br />
- buying a rendering control, but this appears to be expensive as the only ones I have seen are 000's of dollars<br />
- embedding adobe reader in a form, I dont really have any idea where to start doing that<br />
- converting the pdf to html and rendering the html<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any advice please?
