<Is there a way to control the zoom?>
No, not unless you want to go so far as adjusting the size of the webbrowser control itself, (and this can get messy)
So the best you can do is make the webbrowser control as big as will fit within the borders of the form.
<and in the PDF file it shows the menus at top..can I hide them?>
No, ...you can only do this if the PDF is opened independently

i just put up another question if you have a minute Q_27247608
On the current event of the form use code like this:
Me.WebBrowser.Navigate YourFieldThatStoresThePath
So if your field that stores the Path to the PDF/Image is called "DocPath",
Your code would be:
Me.WebBrowser.Navigate DocPath
