>If a .NET User Control or Server Control could give the functionality needed to do that, I'd be interested, but I have not yet found anything that even hints that it's possible, aside from wrapping an OCX.

Doesn't a ActiveX control done in VB, need the VB runtime installed?

Um, won't the adobe reader allow for this? Granted it has to be downloaded an installed ahead of time.

What about a client side java applet?
