I need to display PDF documents in my vs2005 winform app.  What are my
choices?  I can't seem to find a 3rd party PDF viewer control?  Is Adobe
ActiveX control my only choice?

Thanks.

Hello Frank,

You can host Web Browser control and set the URL to the PDF

That means I have to rely on Adobe Acrobat being installed on the
system.  I am looking for Acrobat-less experience.

There's a fast pdf reader called FoxIt something-or-other. I'm not sure
whether or not they have a control for developers.

There are a number of controls available that allow you to add viewing PDF
documents to your app, including

This would have been great, except I am aiming for managed components.

Awesome, thank you.  My google skills need refreshing.  That's exactly
what I need.
