Hi Oscar.

I prefer the method of using the Microsoft Web Browser Control over the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control which Adobe doesn't support.

The code to view the PDF is -

ThisForm.OleControl1.Navigate("file:///c:\file.pdf")
ThisForm.OleControl1.Refresh()

Make sure you put the following code in the OleControls' Refresh method to fix a known problem -

NODEFAULT

This method does require that the workstations use Internet Explorer.
