You would have to find an ActiveX Control that can do that. I am not
aware of any, but perhaps Adobe has one or some other 3rd party tool
vendor.
Much simpler to launch the PDF in its default application, using a
hyperlink or similar.

FWIW, I believe Adobe 7 had a control, but Adobe stopped supporting it.

Foxit seems to have one, though
