Viewing PDF files in Windows Application

You can use LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDK technology in your application.

The Document Viewer technologies allow you to view documents and images, as well as text search and annotate documents.

Here is some sample code:

Hi,
after adding adobe acrobat reader 7.0 browser document in windows form .

i just set src property of it like 

axAcroPDF1.src = "d:\\111.pdf";

in form loading event.
nothing more than this.
Make sure your file path is correct &
try it with different files.

Hi,
For my application,
I just open Choose Tool Box Items dialog by right clicking on toolbox and select COM components tab.
then select adobe acrobat reader 7.0 browser document

(  I already install adobe acrobat reader 7.0 in my system.Its free s/w.so only this component appears here i think so.).

after selection i just click ok .now axAcroPDF1 is added into tool box.

i just add it to windows form and set its src property as my pdf file in form loading.and it works well.

Hope this helps u.

Here is the sample code for doing the same, I am assuming that PDF document is there in the system and with First approach code is:

 class Program
    {
        const int ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND = 2;
        const int ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED = 5;

        void OpenPDF()
        {
            Process myProcess = new Process();

            try
            {
                string myPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles);

                myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = myPath + "\\linq.pdf";
                myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Open";
                myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
                myProcess.Start();
            }
            catch (Win32Exception e)
            {
                if (e.NativeErrorCode == ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(e.Message + ". Check the path.");
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(e.Message +
                       ". You do not have permission to print this file.");

                }
            }
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Program myProgram = new Program();
            myProgram.OpenPDF();
        }
    }

There are two possible solutions I guess, either use System.Diagonostics.Process Class to open your pdf file in Acrobat( i.e. you are opening the Acrobat reader from your application and at the same time programmatically specify which file to open in Acrobat) or other would be to host a browser control in your windows application and load the pdf file in browser using Response Class.

Now my question to you is, Is the file being recieved on internet or is already there in the system and you want to read it in your application, if that is the case I would suggest you to go for first case and if file is recieved on network latter would be a better solution.
