I tried to show an pdf on the WebBrowser.
I use this code:

this.webBrowser1.Navigate(@"C:\Path\PDFName.pdf");

I get all the time this Error message as an pop-up:
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line 2
Char 1
Invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file://C:\Path\PDFName.pdf
Do you want to continue running script on this page?

Have anyone an idea?

Hi Manfred
You should maybe check the installation of the ActiveX-Object thats embedded
in your browser. So reinstalling the ActiveX-Objects (i.e. they ship with
Adobe Reader) would propably do.

Moreover its possible that the file you want to display contains incorrect
data that can´t be parsed properly.

Third and last option: check whether the ActiveX-Object is enabled in IE.

Hope this will be of use for you.

Eric
