PDF Viewer

[g]

Hi all,

I have a snapshot viewer in my form & I was wondering if there's a such
thing as pdf viewer. I need this so the pdf files from outside source can be
viewed in the access the database.

Thanks.

The most common one is Adobe Reader
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html?promoid=BUIGO although
many people prefer http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

That (Adobe) is the most mainstream.

I prefer Foxit which is free at www.foxitsoftware.com

It opens a lot faster with less fanfare/BS.

Thanks guys, but the one that I'm trying to accomplish here is put a pdf
viewer with in the form (like snapshot viewer activeX control) not to open
another software just to view the pdf file.

Thanks anyways.

Adobe used to have such a control (4 or 5 years ago, or maybe longer), but I
don't believe they do anymore.

You'd be limiting the size of the viewing area to whatever space is
inside your app. I'd just open the PDF file as a separate process so
the user has complete control.
