showing a pdf file in windows form

[Adam One]

Hi, i am working on a c# application with client/server architecture.
is it possible to show a pdf file in windows form without be obliged to have
acrobat reader on client computer.

I tried googling first and couldn't find any uncommerce or free library for
this.

Thanks in advanced

I know of no control like that. Not even a commercial one.

It's commercial and I don't know the pricing for this, but it would
seem to meet your other needs:

No affialiation with them and I've never used it.

Hi Adam,

I have searched the Adobe Knowledgebase for the control you want. I only
found a technote introducing how to use Adobe's ActiveX control to view PDF
documents directly on the stage. However, I'm not sure if it is fit for
your practice.

The following is the link of the KB technote I found:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14043&sliceId=1

BTW, if you have Acrobat Reader installed on a client computer, you could
view a PDF document using a WebBrowser control in a WinForm.

Hope this helps.

Linda Liu
