hosting a PDF in a c# application -

I am making an eBook for a friend, he has content in the word (docs), so I have some questions . I made a thread about this first and the best response to this was to exit the PDF. Its main point was that we could have the table of intable text boxes, links and content.

Now I was thinking that I can host a PDF in my application. I basically want to make "Adobe Reader", is there a library that does this? Can I use COM / dlls installed to install it?

The reason for this is that I had to make my application like "quizzes" section, or "report card" or "bookmark" facility.

Thanks guys.

create a custom PDF browser control one Very challenging work can be done using real Adobe Reader in your app, because it is provided as a com control which can be hosted in any Windows application. Here are the steps:

1. Start a new WinForms application
2. Make Acrobat Control available in the toolbar (Tools -> Add / Remove Toolbox items in the toolbox: "Adobe Acrobat Do not forget to grab a cup of coffee before clicking on the "COM" tab in the "Browser Document" in the COM Component tab).
3. Drag the form to the control

4. Manipulate:

     axAcroPDF1.LoadFile ("mypdf.pdf"); axAcroPDF1.Show ();
