You can install the adobe acrobat reader. It comes with "Acrobat Control for ActiveX" (PDF.OCX) You can include this in your program and view PDF files.

I have used the Adobe Acrobat control ActiveX to open my .pdf file. 1)Every time I load the form Actobat opens before I actually click on the control and it does not close until I get out of my program how do I deal with the opening and closing of Acrobat? 2)Will it make a difference if I place the Actobat on a Frame or a Panel?
