PDF to Picturebox

[google_groups3]

Has anybody ever tried to load a PDF into a picturebox control? If
not, any suggestions on how I could do it?

Basically, I want to display a PDF on a form, play around with the
pixels (which is why i want it in a picturebox control) and output a
bitmap.

Thanks

if you have a pdf api that should be easy. you should be able to open it and
save it as a bitmap then open that bitmap and put it to the picture box.

If you do not have a pdf api.. Go and find one. You do not want to reinvent
the wheel.
