PDF Viewer

Hi All, I want to write an application which should display a pdf file, and some other features like searching,highlight text,zoom etc. Is there any free/paid controls available. I tried using pdf.ocx but it's very slow and also no feature for searching, highlight text etc. Any idea how to do this ? Thanks Mahesh Varma.

The Acrobat 6.0 ActiveX Control does have search and highlighting capability, as well as did 5.0 (maybe earlier versions as well, but I honestly don't remember). 6.0 has a button that literally reads "Search" and has a representative icon that 5.0 uses, binolculars - a common icon in many applications. And since practically every computer has Adobe Acrobat (Reader) installed, you rarely have to worry about installing it. Just go to http://www.adobe.com[^]. If you want more options than this, please click "Search comments" at the top of the message forum because this has been covered many, many times before.
