Load a PDF File??

[Charles A. Lackman]

Hello,

I have Visual Studio .NET and was wondering if you can load a PDF File into
the report Viewer.
If this is possible a quick line of code (VB) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck

Hey Chuck,

You can't display a PDF file using the CR Viewer. You have to purchase
another third party component for PDF files (I've seen various ones
advertised).

I don't have a lot of experience with .NET; however, in VB6 I used the
Microsoft Internet Control to embed a webbrowser into my app. Pointing the
location to the PDF file caused the Acrobat Plugin to load and display the
file in the browser control. This method is extremely limited; however, it
got the job done for simply displaying a PDF file in the application.
