How can I display a PDF file in my VB.NET file?
As a bonus, how can I then subsequently print that file?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, Process.Start (<path to PDF>)
will do it. Once opened, the PDF can be printed using the Print menu from
the reader itself.

Hi Frank,

read this example http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/pdfthumbnail.asp.
You can use the Acrobat 5.0 SDK
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/download.jsp#fullinstall
for your problem.

Greeting

Thomas
