View PDF files in VB6 app without having Save option

Hi

I would like users to be able to view PDF files in a VB6 app without being given access to the save/save as dialog box - just navigate and zoom in/out.

Any ideas?

Hi

I just replied to your other post re: Word, and I think the same method works here, i.e. add a web control to your form and then navigate to it....

webcontrol1.Navigate2 "C:\Test.pdf"


HTH :)

This method certainly allows a user to view a pdf but it doesn't prevent the user opening the file/open dialog box so it doesn't solve my problem.

I believe I gave the correct answer, in fact it was the same advice I gave here https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21875691/Render-pdfs-in-WinForms-application.html and this was accepted with a Grade A

Sorry

I missed this one. Will award the points.
