      You can open and read the file in Binary mode all you want. The .NET Framework doesn't have any support for interpreting and manipulating the contents of a PDF file though. If you wanted to manipulate the file, you'd have to have a library to do it for you, like the PDF.NET or something similar.

        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\\Whateverpath\YourDocument.pdf") The client just needs to have adobe reader on their system.
