Open a pdf file on a winform project

[NarVish]

Hi, Is there any FREE library which will allow me to open a pdf and show it on a winform project without using AcroPDF.dll

ITextSharp[^].

ITextSharp is for create/edit purpose of PDF....? If OP just wants to open the file, then can't he do so by calling Process.Run('FilePath'); method....?

I quit being afraid when my first venture failed and the sky didn't fall down.

Sure, if they have a PDF reader installed and the file association is registered with Windows, they could do that. I was under the impression that the OP wanted to show the PDF in his application.

A WebBrowser Control should do with a PDF file whatever your Internet Explorer does to it. no need for extra libraries. :)

That requires the user to have a PDF reading IE plugin, which counts as an 'extra library' in my book.
