This week's examples show several different ways to display PDF files in
and out of a form in both VB 6 and VB .NET. Once you know how to do it,
it's actually pretty simple (assuming Adobe Reader is installed on your
computer).

Have a great week and thanks for subscribing!

http://www.vb-helper.com/HowTo/howto_open_pdf_browser.zip
Add a WebBrowser control to a form and use its Navigate method to open
the PDF file. It's that easy!
webPdf.Navigate txtFile.Text

2. New HowTo: Open a PDF file in an external Adobe Reader process in
Visual Basic 6
http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_open_pdf_externally.html
http://www.vb-helper.com/HowTo/howto_open_pdf_externally.zip
Use the ShellExecute API function to "execute" the file. If Adobe Reader
is installed, it should open the file.
ShellExecute ByVal 0&, "open", txtFile.Text, _
vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED

3. New HowTo: Open a PDF file in an Adobe Reader control within an
application in Visual Basic 6
http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_open_pdf_reader.html
http://www.vb-helper.com/HowTo/howto_open_pdf_reader.zip
This only works if you have Adobe Reader installed. Then:
1. On the Toolbox, right-click and select Components.
2. Select the "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0"
and click OK.
3. Add a PDF reader to the form.
Now you can use the reader control's src property to open the PDF file.
pdfReader.src = txtFile.Text
